Hi, I am new to speed skating and I am looking to get my first set of boots + blades. I am currently skating with BONT boots that are maybe for the 90s lol. My coach recommended CBC boots specifically, but I saw that BONT had blades on clearance for 100$. Are the mounts standard size like will the boots match the blades? Also I am looking at getting 16in blades I am 5ft and doing short track skating. My coaches have had mixed opinions on what I should be getting.
