High cuff skate

[Susie Morunga]

Hi
I'm looking at getting the Activa 90 2011 skate because of the high cuff & lateral adjustment. Is this cuff as high as the Alexis Boa 2011? Is it higher than the tempest 90? I have the tempest already but the low cuffs on these dont suit my inturned ankles esp when I get tired so am looking for a really supportive cuff with lateral adj as well. Any ideas?
Thanks for your help

The Activa 90 is more along the lines of the Alexis but perhaps a little more vcut in back. The Tempest is definitely a bit lower in cuff height as it rates as a more performance oriented type skate. Still has a good cuff height, but lower to allow more freedom of motion and a deeper vcut in the back.

The Activa seems like where you want to go. Adjusting the frame should alleviate pronation as well. Move frames same direction ankle is rolling and see if that helps.

Thanks!
