Does your ankle feel like its ready to roll under that unconventional heel? I've heard that a sturdy heel is more important than ankle support (like high tops) for rolled ankles
no, it doesnt feel like it's ready to roll and after not skating ledges all winter I gave 'em plenty of opportunities to roll while dancing around on top of, and running out of, an overwaxed ledge this weekend.
despite everyone's concern, they feel fine.
also, I used to love skating in the ES Contract (and the Rowley XLX) back when that was out and it had the same heel thing going on and never gave any problems.
but hey, by the same token, don't blame me if you roll your ankle wearing a pair...
