New boots problem

You know now, from the previous post, that the boots ended up not working out...

Tuesday morning at 11 I went to the boot shop and I thought I'll go skating at 1.30. I explained them that I thought that is gonna be geometrically impossible to keep the anatomic shape of the sole by free grinding, I thought they should be returned, I thought they were defective from the factory. They didn't disagree, but they said that the fact that the spot were I was hurting on the left foot is gone is a good sign, let's try. I told them, that the spot merely moved... but I wished for nothing more than the boots to work, I wouldn't want to go trough the breaking in again, but I also didn't want to keep coming back to the shop every day for another week and get plantar fasciitis during the process.

I didn't get to go skating. They ground and ground and ground. The left boot improved, from a  pain of 8 out of 10 , to a 2, 3 out of 10 in an hour. The right foot was way slower, after 3 hours we got to a 5, maybe 4 out of 10. In the process, he messed up with the blade alignment, he added more insoles, that crammed my foot that felt almost like a try to see if I truly tell them what I felt. Anyway, at one point the technician said that there is progress and hopefully we finish until 7, their closing time. I said shyly, that I couldn't really stay more then 3pm, that was an hour away. The technician said he was just joking and he went back to grinding. We went back to 5 out of 10, plus a new pain spot. 

At that point I explained again that my theory was from the beginning that a uniform grinding cannot be done, and the pain spot will just keep moving around and we agreed to call it quits. The technician asked the boss if he would accept it as a manufacturing defect, he hesitated and said that actually the factory has to agree with it. I asked what's next, I need new boots, they said the factory we'll replace these if found defective. I'm like, that's gonna take 2 months, I need new boots! I was in pain, and in rush to leave. I said I'll call the factory, but tell me straight, do you see and feel the bump and he said yes. And then he brought up again that I wasn't in the boots he recommended.

I was late, I actually had to go to a outdoor rink skating birthday party. I asked them to put the blades back to my skates and left the new boots for them to return to the factory.

I will write another post about the returning process... it was more then weird... and even if they agreed it was a manufacturing defect they hinted they won't give me the money back, but replace the boot. Well, that boot was not in stock, I would have had to wait for it to be manufactured. Secondly, sorry, I couldn't work with this fitter anymore, I just didn't trust him, and you'll see why next time. But I did get the money back, and as soon as I had the in my hand I called another boot fitter. It was closed for the next 2 days. He works just 3 days a week. I caught him today and I have appointment for not this coming Monday, but the Monday of the following week.

After I tried my old skates on the outdoor rink and they felt so strange, I couldn't make myself go skating. Hopefully I'll go next week... or I'll wait till I go to the fitter, maybe he has something in stock that fits me and I don't have to keep adjusting and re adjusting to new and old boots.
