I am currently skatingon K2 Moto 90, but they are too narrow and have pinched a nerve (Morton's Neuroma). My podiatrist says to get wider skates and a metatarsal pad. I tried Rollerblade Crossfire 8.0 but they are also too narrow. I have heard that Roces skates are slightly wider and have just ordered a pair of R301, but would rather have the T403. Can IW get Roces Men's T403?

Cereal as corn flakes.

The T403 for Men is no longer available through Roces. We had them online for months but have sold through and they are discontinued.

The T403 is still available online however for women.

The Roces T403 men's still appear on their website. If they ar no longer produced then does Roces does have a fitness skate with 100mm wheels?

It is not uncommon for a model to be discontinued. Happens to most models, most every year.

I'm sure there will be another model down the road in that wheels size.

As of now, in the USA, there are no more Roces T403 in men's. To answer your questions, no. There is not a 100mm Roces skate accessible at this point in time. 2010, sure.

If you need wide skates, go with Bont. They have something called "Semi-custom" -- for an extra $20 they will make a change to the boot (such as making it wider), and all you have to do is fax them a tracing of your foot.

Go to Bont's FAQ page:

http://www.bont.com/items/faq/faq.htm

and go up 2/3 of the way down. Click on the part about semi-custom skates.

I don't think you can do this through IW, but you can always come back here to order wheels & bearings & parts, since this is a great site.

We custom orders as well. We do not allow returns or exchanges on custom items however for obvious reasons.

Thanks!
