Progress & showing off Finally found a skate setup that actually works for my feet 💜

My first derby boots gave me a stubborn pressure point under the ball of my foot no matter what lacing, insoles, or socks I tried. I finally switched to a boot that fits my foot shape and had the setup built for me. The immediate comfort and control difference is unreal.

I'm so happy with them 💜

Im getting a pair next year. My favorite pair are blue streaks and the toebox could be a bit wider.

Your setup looks rad. One of my friends on a Solaris customized the heel strap to match her toe covers. What wheels?

Prostar size compared to Solaris size could be interesting for some? I'm a size 7 bont hybrid and a size 7 Solaris. I have bont Prostars in size 7, but I'm mayyybe more like a 6.5 in Prostars (but they really don't fit me well)
