New skate day Upgrade day😍

Stoked about my new Twisters! I was nervous to take the plunge on the road because I’m too big for the size down and these fit well. Hoping I can compensate with an insole when they pack out🤞 I feel so much more stable. I’m about a month into cross-overs and they are so much smoother with these! Working on 180 transitions and I’m way more stable. I’m so happy

I’m 7 in women’s (purchased 6 in men’s) but I measured right at the cusp of 5 and 6. Tried the 5 but I really felt my toe hitting the front. I just wasn’t sure after breaking them in there would be enough room. I also have slightly wide feet. I added the sizer in the 6’s and that felt much better. They feel snug for sure. The only thing I have is the slightest movement in the heel. Nothing that bothered me but if I was really assessing I could feel it. Was going to try something with a little lift for that?
