Guy Incognito 0 Report post Posted February 10, 2007 I was thinking about asking a question, so I'll do that first then offer my suggestion to the MSH Universe. I'm looking for a high volume (deep) skate for someone with flatter arches. Any suggestions? I want to stay away from the custom route, I decided. Just not worth it. Here's a suggestion, take it or leave it. Like the pattern DB that is fully searchable, how about a skate database that does the same and provides a starting point for those looking to purchase new skates? For instance, options of high/low volume, fully thermo, high arches (8090) v. low, stiff v. soft, low cut v high cut, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JR Boucicaut 3810 Report post Posted February 10, 2007 Actually, we thought about this, and we have had suggestions/requests for it. The reason why it hasn't been implemented is because we encourage people to go into a LHS and try on skates; if we do this we've facilitated the online ordering process.

Buzz_LightBeer 976 Report post Posted February 10, 2007 i would agree, adding that stick curves are less subjective than how a skate feels on your foot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've seen countless posts by people who have a wide foot and love their vapor XX/XXX/etc.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
