I've had a hard time with skates and am wondering if VH is the one. I am wondering if DRW and Giancarlo feel that they would be so comfortable with the heel / foot lock that they could skate with the laces barely tied. I have a very wide forefoot and high instep with a flat arch. I'm currently skating in Graf 709 W which were improperly fitted. They are still too tight at the arch but too deep at the ankle and the heel is too wide. They initially felt OK when they were baked. I've been thru other Graf models, RBK and Bauer. I couldn't skate at all on the Bauers Thanks for any advice on VH
