Need shop with good skate fitter and selection

Recommended Posts

Looks like I'm going down the new skate route again. I stopped by my LHS but the selection wasn't great. What's I'm looking for is a shop within a few hours drive of Columbus that has a very good selection of skates and someone who knows how to fit them. I would like a shop that will actually measure and examine my foot to help determine the right skate. My LHS basically does the "what's your shoe size". Problem is after trying on 5 or 6 pairs they all start to blend together and my feet are already starting to hurt so it makes it even more difficult.

The cities I came up with are Cincinnati, Detroit/Windsor, and Pittsburgh. Ideally it would be someone who can do the custom moldable Graf footbed inserts. From my research I have come up with Brian's in Windsor and KO Sports in Canonsburg. There seemed to be conflicting reports on how good Brian's actually is. JR doesn't work in MI any longer. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Ko Sports probably has the best selection, but the skill of the fitter might be hit or miss depending on who is working. Also it is a very small store (with a hugh ware- "house") so at times the place is literally JAMMED, so pick your day and time carefully.
