So my Edea overture is mounted flush with the heel… leaving about 0.6mm in the front, should I re-mount them? I am able to do pretty much all the basic stuff but don’t want to develop bad muscle memory, what do you think ? Thanks
Great video! Thanks so much for sharing. Why is it bad to have the blade mounted flush with the back of the heel? Or rather what’s the difference vs having it flush with the front? I JUST got new skates for the first time in 20yrs (lol). My old skates are mounted like you said they should be - with the front of the blade meeting the front of the sole on the skate. My new skates are the opposite (the heels are matched boot/blade). so I’m just curious what the difference is and why you suggest they be mounted aligned in the front. Thanks again for ur video! Love all your content 💗
For 260 ice fly is a 9-3/4 blade revolution blade mounted flush to the toe and heel good? Or would a smaller 9-1/2 blade flush with toe better? FYI I am moving from a 10 blade down now.
Great video😊 I struggle with over pronation, especially on my left foot, but I find it very hard to mount blades on the Edea boots because they have such a narrow bottom.. I’ve tilted mine slightly to the inside, but now the blade is hanging very much outside of the bottom sole. Is this a common problem or is it something to do with the blade?
I always try to fix the boot from the inside first before moving a blade or even shimming one side. Have you tried any arch supports? Jackson makes a 3, 5, and 7 degree insole that has helped a lot of my skaters with probation.
My left foot has bad supponation. I bought a pair of hockey skates online because the pro shop didn't have my wide size. The plastic blade holder is riveted in. Do they make hockey skates with screws to fix supponation? If so, can you recommend a brand/model? My left skate is pulling to the left due to my supponation. Thanks in advance.
Tough one but short answer no, hockey holders are very difficult to slightly move side to side. Unlike figure blades that have slotted holes that can easily shift, hockey holders are basically permanently mounted. If you have a good skate person, they may be able to remove the rivets on one side, shim the holder and angle it out to combat your supination. Unfortunately I can’t say 100% because I can’t see you skate! Hope this helps.
@@RedmondsCorner Ok thanks for the answer. I'm a bit surprised hockey skates are unable to shift the blade left/right. I have inline skates, FR brand, that have the slots you mention in figure skates and I can shift the entire frame far to the outside to fix my supponation. Well, that's a potentially new type of hockey skate. Thanks again.
This is great. I realized you were my next door neighbor in Lynnfield and now my son plays hockey. What a small world!
You are a living legend 💯

This was helpful, thank you .
Anytime. Thanks for the feedback!
Do you recommend a 8.75 blade for 235 boot ?
Are black spots on ice blades caused by the sparks from blade sharpening?
For 260 ice fly is a 9-3/4 blade revolution blade mounted flush to the toe and heel good? Or would a smaller 9-1/2 blade flush with toe better? FYI I am moving from a 10 blade down now.
Edea says 9.75 for 255 and 260 but not often than not I use a 9.5. If you want in max heel to toe go with a 9.75.
@@RedmondsCorner thank you 😊 going with the 9.75 since I figured loess of a transition from a 10. Skating on them first time tomorrow. We shall see. 😜
@@IceKrazyVideo how did it go? Did they fit well?
To perm mount, Would you be adding an anchor screw in the heel or can you leave it with the sliders only if there is an anchor in the sole plate?
Need to anchor both the heel and the sole plate.
what size is the drill bit?
@@randomcubing7106 7/64. I think Edea says 3/32 but 7/64 holds better.

Thank you! I’ll check out insoles😊
@@RedmondsCorner does the Jackson insoles fit inside of Edea boots?
@@flowerpuffff Yep. We mainly use CCM insoles but we have had some use the Jackson ones.
Hello from Gernany,
Do you habe link for me about insoles from Jackson?
Best regards

i never got that too. why is it not possible with hockey skates... its so sad
what size legacy 7 blade would go on an ice fly size 245?
9 1/4
@@RedmondsCornerare you still doing fittings? I might travel from IL to see you. Everyone here is failing me in fitting…
Where can I get a boot holder like that?
Blademaster is the brand that I use.
This guy is intense lol
Passionate maybe? 🤣
