Comments: I just tried these for the first time. One and one half hours on the rink floor. They are a half size too larger (because COVID availability) but with the way your heel locks in place, I have no foot shifting. The ball of my foot doesn't ache from a too tight toe box, my big toe didn't go numb due to a pointy toe box. Parkstar's fit the shape of my bare feet. I am totally a convert. I thoroughly understand the gushing Bont reviews I've seen and read. I tried a couple of tricky moves once I felt comfortable with the set up. If this is how they feel now, they will be slippers once they break in. I went with the softest cushion, changed the wheels and toe stops (to my familiar setup), and plan to add in a squishy liner/insert for long skate days. Women's street shoe 9.5B, Bont 7 (should be 6.5W) Now to test their longevity. From: Anonymous, 7/20/21
