    Hi! Curious about how the sole is in the forefoot. Thin? Any boost or other cushioning? Have some recurring pains there and don’t want to buy in vein. Thanks!

      Hi Olof,

      thanks for your comment. As far as I am concerned, the Boost sole does not reach all the way to the front. Thus, the sole is a bit thinner at the front. Nevertheless there was still enough cushion there. Additionally, the insole does a good job in terms of impact protection as well.

      If you have generally problems with the impact while skating, you can check out FOOTPRINT INSOLES. They offer an improved impact support that may can help you out: https://www.skatedeluxe.com/footprint-shop

      Hope I could help a bit.

      Cheers
      Tobi
