How to tell if skates are too wide?
I'm an adult buying my first pair of skates (currently in learn to skate 4) and I'd love to own black skates. My fitter sized me for the women's Jackson Freestyles in the Regular width. Unfortunately the women's version only comes in white, so my fitter is ordering the men's version for me to try on. He warned that they are a bit wider than the women's. He said I should just pick which ever width feels best if my foot feels snug in both. How can you tell whether a skate it too wide when you try it on? I'm worried that the men's will be too wide without me realizing. Thanks!
