Note* If you have European feet and have BMI less than 25%, high arch, long toes, ridgid and doesn't expand when knee over toe, aspect ratio is long and narrow. Brushing against the toe cap is the rule. Since the foot last were based on these foot type. North American/European sport, naturally these kinda feet. Its also important to line up your metatarsals so the arch length is correct. The ideal branoock device would be if the device has a step heel built in, since flat measuring vs in skate size, IMHO, there is some difference for feet that aren't ridgid. I think the issue can come from translating flat measurement to boot size, and then boot manufacturing technique may influence the fit some what.

Here's a couple shots of the Barkov. It's been a long time since I've seen a Darby in person, but there is definitely some loft at the heel on the Barkov, and overall pretty straight through the first 2/3rds of the blade, then a small hook at the end. The only thing I'm not crazy about is the huge rocker, which you can see in the 2nd pic. I've also included shots of the McDavid, Pro Malkin, and Backstrom curves. https://imgur.com/a/BBOW4FE

The Mackinnon is a Warrior Gionta/P14 (Bauer)/P30 type. It has a big hook at the toe. I don't think it's much like the P88 in that regard, but it has a similar lie.

I've tried the Malkin, McDavid, Barkov, Hossa, Panarin (supposedly a P19 clone but plays just like a P92), P38, and Backstrom curves. Please don't tell my wife. I've talked with Geppetto a number of times about trying to find something like a loftier P88. The Backstom has been the closest in my opinion. The MacDavid is sort of similar to what you're looking for as well, except that it's a 4 lie and that has been a very difficult adjustment for me (it's based off an old Iginla Jr curve). But it shoots nicely. I'm just trying the Barkov right now, which has a bit of loft at the heel like the Darby and a little bit of hook at the toe, but overall is actually a fairly straight curve. I dunno, I feel like I've exhausted all of his options for someone who is not a toe curve shooter, so I might just give up and stick with the P88 as the trade off with the P92 or P90TM is better shooting for worse passing, which isn't worth it to me.

Orthotics? Personally I'd consider orthotics or shimming the holders. And if you're serious about fixing the problem, doing the foot exercises to improve/reduce or even eliminate the pronation.

Nothing that is said here will make him understand...he came here for justification of his lower offer & is mad that the seller wants about $460 for them...
