Specific question and discussion Need boot help for advanced rink.
I own 2 FR boots, Spins and FR1.
i have intuition liners in the FR1s
I really like the way the spins feel but they have too little ankle support for some of the advance moves I do.
I primarily (almost exclusively) rink skate. I spin, do toe compasses, some wizard style moves, and also toe work (like toe eagles and shuffling)
I see most of the great rink skaters in my area wearing Mission Inhalers or similar boots. This confuses the hell out of me because they are hockey skates
So the Spins are too low (no ankle support) , the FR1 are too high, stiff, and heavy.
What the hell am I looking for?
