davekind 1 Report post Posted May 30, 2018 I was recently able to go down a half size in skates to a size 5.5 and the holders are 247 mm. My old skates are size 6 and have 254 mm holders and since I have 4 pairs of steel in this size, i'd like to put those on my new skates. Can I put the 254 holders on a 5.5? I'm assuming they'd have to drill new holes to accomodate the larger holders? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YesLanges 122 Report post Posted May 30, 2018 As long as the boot is long enough to take them, there should be no issue. You'll need new holes, but I think there's a strong argument that the longer the steel the better, as long as the holders aren't longer than the boots.
