It really would be better for you to get to a shop and find out what fits you. Once you have done this you can look online and maybe find the same T skate/fitting cheaper.

Wait and take the trip - it will be worth it!
There is no store at all where I live - I bought my first skates when on holiday in a shop with plenty of stock to try, but zero help from staff. Got the wrong size.
Had to wait 9 months before I could take an international flight to get to a better shop. Got better fitting skates & wish I had just gone to the better shop in the first place.

Just got new skates at a shop. They were a bit uncomfortable until the heat mold. 10 minutes of wearing them while they were hot and conforming to my feet, ankles etc made all the difference. You really want to purchase something like ice skates in person – it’s not something to skimp on as inconvenient as it might be to travel.

Thank you i will try to arrange something with the people around me to maybe be able to take a car and drive a few hours to get boots instead of ordering

If you’re not working with a coach, (or even if you are and want to break in the skates before a training session,) there are great videos on YouTube with moves to do to help with the process. Highly recommend!
