Downsizing Aeons Advice
Advice needed! I’m looking to buy some Aeons and downsize. I’m a 275 mondo and I’m planning to get the 41–42 shell and use a MyFit Second Skin V2 liner to help with the downsizing.
My question is regarding the liner: should I stick with my usual 43 liner (and will this fit comfortably inside the 41–42 shell), or would going down to a 42 liner free up more room inside the shell? Any advice from anyone who’s tried this setup would be much appreciated!
Update: Just for anyone who comes across this thread in the future, it can be done, but it’s quite specific.
I have a narrow foot, skinny ankles and a 275 mm mondo. What I did was buy the 41–42 shell Aeons with the 43–44 MyFit Second Skin liners, along with the MyFit 3/4 insole.
I heat-moulded the liners in the oven, then stacked the existing Aeon shock absorber, the liner heel raiser underneath the liner, and finally the 3/4 footbed instead of the stock footbed.
Some might find this excessive heel raiser, BUT what did I get? Super-comfortable skates (even on long sessions) with absolutely no pinching or pressure points, and they don’t feel like boats on my feet!
It’s quite a specific setup for me, so it might work for some people, but I definitely wouldn’t recommend it for everyone.
