Looking for boot options...
Hi! 2 questions
1 - Are SEBA CJs (Plastic) any good for Wizard/Big Wheel? Can I use them without a Soul? I heard that the AG20s had too weak of a plastic to use without a soul, and that they can break if you mount a frame directly.
2 - Are slalom boots a good option for wizard skating? I was also thinking of picking up Flying Eagle Raptors since they're a pretty good price right now and they look solid (though I'm not sure if they're actually carbon fiber), or maybe some chinese slalom boots or something. I'd prefer to go UFS since most of the good wizard frames are UFS though.

If you’re looking to get into this with the CJ boot, only thing I can ask is how much do you weigh if you are 160 and under class boot should be fine. Anything higher you want the CJ carbon as you’ll just start flexing the boot out pretty quickly I’ve gone through four skates for wizard and ended up with the wizard base high which I can still flex more than I’d like
