all i want for christmas
I spent several hours on Saturday at Fast Girl Skates trying on boots for new skates. It's fun to have a sales person talk to you about your pain tolerance as a means for deciding what to buy, how small to go. "Be prepared for your toe nails to fall off at the end of the season." This is true dedication.
I've been happily skating in my first Carrera speed skates, purchased 4 years ago, because I didn't want to go through breaking in another boot. However, since I started skating again they no longer feel comfy, but more like clown shoes. I want skates that fit like a glove, and since leather stretches, I've got to be prepared to go through some pain. If it makes me faster, I'm willing to endure.

the WP very well might be my favorite new Roller Derby team name!

Have a feeling they weren't very breathable, though.
