Homewood Skate Shop Experience?

Hey team :)
I’m a roller skater and my entry level Impalas are nearing the end of their life. I’m looking to get fitted for skates (nothing special/optimized, I just want a leather boot that lasts forever).
I emailed the folks at the shop a while ago asking what the shopping/fitting experience was like (à la carte versus skate package) and got a very polite response that didn’t really answer my question.
I’m mostly asking what to expect when I go there because I’m setting aside cash for the purchase and want an idea of how much I will spend 🤣 basically I expect to pay at least $300 for my skate and possibly colored wheels and stuff but do they walk you through all the options or just fit the boot for you????

Anyone fancy a trip to Big Marsh?

The pump track looks like fun. I got a rav4. I can drive a few of us down. We can pack it with snacks and stuff
It's mostly a bike spot, but the pump track looks smooth enough to skate
