Best skates for flat/overpronating feet?

[denialchild45]

Got my legs/feet checked out the other day and they said i'm putting too much strain on my inner leg/foot area which is causing me to have bad tendinitis below my knees. The pressure is also bad for my flat/extremely flexible arches (or lack there of). Told them I also skate, which they said will put strain on these areas as well. Since Remz's frame alignment is so severely positioned toward the inner foot, it's doing more harm than good.

What skates would be-mag recommend that has a more-centered frame, that will also fit a flatter/semi-wide foot? Adding insult to injury, my foot size is a 10. I fit a Remz 9 perfect, which is why I have used them for so long. A 9.5 would be perfect. I liked the flex that Remz had, but want a little more support as well. I was thinking the Lights since they are wider than the regular Valo's (which crushed my arch area, but fit fine in length 8-9 to cut) or Xsjados with a 9.5 shoe in a small shell.

If anyone has any ideas, lemme know!

xsjados and salomon come to mind

[justinthursday]

Salomon. TRS. Xsjados are terrible. That's all that comes to mind.
Most other skates you can mod them and slide the frames over. This is impossible in Remz due to the way the entire boot is shaped. They will pronate no matter what you do.

Xsjado are terrible for the pronation or just bad skates in general in your opinion?

[justinthursday]

Bad in general. Hahah. Unless you can get Salomon made ones. But yeah they are pretty centered compared to most skates.
Honestly anything will be better than Remz tho so you can't go wrong. Remz are literally designed to pronate more than any other skate. Razors SLs are not too bad now that I'm thinking of it. You could use V-cut cuffs and liners if you want a somewhat Remz like feel but you wont have nearly as much pronating.

Tried Razors before. Had some Aragon 3's, but the shell sizing doesn't work well with my feet.

Have you seen the "toe-cut" mod? It's actually pretty cool.

If you're pronating really bad, you should look in to getting orthotics besides getting new skates. I had some carbon fiber ones when I was in high school and they really saved my ass. The upside to the CF ones is they weigh almost nothing and provide excellent support. The only down side to the CF orthotics is they're expensive as shit. I was lucky though, at the time my mom was dating a podiatrist so I got them for free. He said they would have cost 800 bucks if I paid for them. They do make cheaper alternatives and most insurance companies will pay for them if your doc prescribes them.

Salomon. You will pronate a lot with Xsjado.

id go dre powell 2 . i did . the remz hurt my foot on the outside so i had to switch but ive never had a single issue with razors yet . get the 9s and toe cut them and youll be golden.

[The Doyle]

and justin those broskow carbons look amazing .

[justinthursday]

Thanks dude!

[CL347BV]

Usually I agree with everything Justin says, but I disagree about xsjados. I love mine and even plan on buying another skeleton very very soon. Most balanced comfortable skate I've ever had.

Salos are awesome, if you can find em. (I have some size 9 st10's...

[justinthursday]

Maybe I'm biased because I have a size 7 foot and the small shells fit a 9 foot ideally.
I don't mind the whole Xsjado concept. I had Farmer 1s and loved them for awhile! Just felt like I was skating around will huge planks under my feet.
I'm really looking forward to the smaller base plates and cuff bolts on the 2.0s since it will actually fit my foot size and allow forward flex.

Im in the same boot with my stupid feetz, i prefer genesys over everything else because i have no issues with them and my feet. Also Sl's werent bad either. Salos are good(wish i could find an 11) and xsjados work well but too bulky for me so i just use gens

sounds like your mum "paid" for them

[Alex Coe]

I can second the Xsjados. Best frame alignment of any skate.

[denialchild45]

What about carbons or free's?

[MattyNairn]

I think some people are confusing their terms here. Remz will make you supinate, xsjados will make you pronate.

I had problems with this and had to get orthotics made for pronating feet, so if you really want to solve the problem go and see your doctor or see a podiatrist. Orthotics are really expensive, so an alternative would be getting those superfeet insole things to save moneyz.
