My rollerblader has issues with certain types of skates one type crushes his toes, one type hurts the side of his foot, and things like that. There is one type that have never caused him any problems.
If your rollerblader experiences similar problems with his feet, don't think they won't try to buy a different skate knowing that they'll most likely crush their feet but there is that one glimmer of hope that these ones will be different.
They could buy the different skates, be very excited, skate them for a little while, come home with sore feet. You don't feel all that bad because you knew they were going to hurt their feet and you assumed that logically, they would too.
Anyway, they will most likely spend a lot of time trying to modify the skates to make them work. This is when the dremmel makes his appearance and they'll cut little slits by the laces to try and create a little more room and shave off certain parts because they are sure that they can make the skates work.
Not always, but sometimes this won't make a bit of difference. They'll waste time and energy on skates that you weren't sure were going to be the best in the first place. Maybe it was the excitement from ebay that got the best of them.
