Yes, and some of the commonalities--narrow foot and high arch--might
result in skates designed specifically for such people.  Great idea.

The problem I've been having with skates is completely due to
width.  Besides that, my Bauer *Chargers* ($50!) have actually
held up amazingly well for 2 years now.  I've never had
any problems with the skates creating abrasions or other
injuries.

I'm trying a new tactic this time around--the Bauer rep is
having a pair of 1000s custom-made for a size 6C.  (Most skates
are D width.)  I'll update on how they work out.  Custom-making
skates is obviously not an inexpensive option, but if they
get bombarded with enough requests, maybe they'll add some
more width choices to their current lines.
