Klingbeil question

I am getting work done on my right Klingbeil, but meanwhile, have had to wear my old harlicks. I have noticed that my toe is pretty much right in the end of the Harlicks, whereas the Klingbeils i have a bit of space between the toe and the tip of skate. The Master Skate Tech guy says that is normal because Klingbeils are shaped differently. Any input from anyone on that?

Thanks! Miraclegro

I have enough room in my Klingbeils that my toe doesn't touch the tip of the boot, but they do not feel too big or anything like that. I would think you'd need a whisper of space there so your toe(s) wouldn't rub and get irritated.

I haven't worn Harlicks so I don't know how the shape of them compares to Klingbeil. My previous skates were Riedells and I'd venture to say the Klingbeils have a slightly roomier toe box. Maybe your Klingbeils are not longer but "taller"?
