Searching for a worn down steel for a pair of Jetspeed FT4 skates

I have mismatched length legs so I use a shorter steel on my longer leg for equilibrium. Searching for a short steel for my FT4s.

Have you considered shimming the holder on the skate that's on your shorter leg? Then you could use matched steel from then on.

Tried shims and hated them. Shorter steel is where its at for me.

Assuming it's an XS holder I'd just search sideline for the steel in the size you need, lots of stock steel and a lot of worn ones on there that I always wonder who would buy lol, but yea I would search your steel size on there (or mention the size here, I know I might have a stock set of steel laying around from my XS holders... size is stamped on the holder near the rivets, something like 255, 263 or 271 etc.).

You tried shims under the insoles, or between the boot and the holder?

Boot and holder.

I found a pair of worn down Step Steel for XS holders, size 271, in my garage, if that's your size you're welcome to it to play around with.
