2 pointsThanks all. Spoke with Jason Binnie at Binnie's in Pittsburgh as well and he also recommended a Zup. Went with the Zup Small based on his input. Got my blades back the other day, but of course am sick, so am missing tonight's skate to give them their first run. Hopefully will feel better and can at least give them a test run this weekend at an open skate or stick and puck if I can find one.

2 pointsI would not give any thought to radius for a 5 year old. Kids readily adapt, and I would be amazed if a child would even notice from one to the other. I coach kids who skate on garbage used skates from Play it Again, and they do just fine. But yes...any shop that does profiles can change it if you want.

2 pointsIt's also really easy to claim something in china is "made in the same factory". That's probably a factual statement. The part that is missing is whose materials, tooling, and processes, and QA are they using because it's not uncommon at all for multiple companies to share factory floor space but thats very different from being from the same production line.

1 pointI don't think less than a mm of masking tape will affect the fit and even if it does affect how your skates feel, you can always just add a thin layer of whatever you want to fill in that space. Ie. Thin piece of plastic, foam etc. Personally I don't think it'll affect the feel.
