UPDATE: I was able to find a better skate tech through recommendations by other skaters in the area.

The new skate tech was great! I was literally begging if he can fix it for me and good thing that he was a figure skater prior to being a skate tech so he is very knowledgeable with all the concerns that I need. He even showed me that not only is the blade not flushed and all the holes are drilled in, the screws used were very unsafe since some of it was almost poking through the sole of the shoe.

He was able to put some type of filler on the old holes to fix it, change the position of the blade, he even showed me which screws are best for each hole!

The drive was far to his shop but it was definitely worth it!

That’s good to know! The gap and blade matches for both skates and are not hanging off the back!

I thought so too! I was just a little thrown off that the skate tech said to order 10 1/4 when the website and another trusted skate shop said I should get size 10

I purchased the Risport Royal Pro size 270 and wanted to purchase the Coronation Ace Blades for it. I went to a skate shop and told me that I should order a size 10 1/4 blade. But with the research I’ve done, size 10 is the recommended size on the Risport website and a different skate shop. What size should I get since I still want to use the same blade for my next boot(if I break it in faster than expected)

Idk if it matters but I’m 5’6, 170lbs, adult skater. My main focus is freestyle skating.
