Trying to find a wide skate, first attempt IQON ACT WZ
Hello! I am trying to find a skate that works for my feet, but dont have anywhere nearby to try them on. My first attempt was these IQON ACT WZ skates in 9.5-10. when I measure my feet, the length was suited for the 8.5-9 but the liner width was way too small. I went with these and they have about 2 fingers of length extra, and the width fits very snug. I am including images with some notes. They seem to be too small, although I don't really know if it's something that'll break in or if it is return worthy.
You can see here that when tight, the tongue sits just above the eyelets, with no overlap.
Are these things that will change when breaking in? and can the boot be heated so as to release the pressure around the tongue? the size is very accurate but it all adds up to a rather uncomfortable experience right out of the box. If it can be fixed and comfortable, I would try that, but if that seems like a big ask then I will return them.
does anyone have a similar experience, and may have found skates that fit better? my feet are very duck shaped, with a high instep.
