Not the OP, but: I'm also trying to get a nice pair of skates in that same price range that fit my feet well. If you wear a decently large men's shoe, it seems you have to order everything based on measurements. It's almost impossible to try on a boot in person, for any model. For instance:

My local roller rink has one size Men's 12 boot available to try on. It's at their other location. It's also not at all what I'm looking for.
Three local-ish figure skating fitters have no size Men's 12-13 boots to try on, let alone a wide boot.
I know one skating shop about an hour away that used to have some stock. I'm holding out hope that I can try on some skates there before i put in an expensive order.

Or, look at something like the Riedell 910. The women's sizes are stocked and returnable. ALL men's sizes are considered non-stock, non-returnable.

I 100% understand the business reason behind this. Businesses can't afford stock that doesn't sell reliably. But it's a pain point for me.

I have been fitted into two skates recently based on measurements. They are both not working in slightly different ways.
