Nfinity cheer shoes

1 Upvotes

Has anyone had experience with Nfinity cheer shoes sizing?
My daughter normally wears a youth size 13 with a little wiggle room. I ordered the Nfinity youth 13, and they were too small. Since Nfinity is online only, I have to exchange them again and I’m trying to avoid a third return.
Would you recommend going with a youth size 1 or youth size 2? How do Nfinity shoes fit compared to Nike or other athletic shoes?
I’d really appreciate any sizing advice! We’re new to cheer

Front spots

1 Upvotes

I recently started coaching a middle school team. It’s been a few years since I was an active cheerleader, but I was always taught that loading in, front spots grab the flyers shins, and then grab the bases wrists to support.
Well, the girls told me that the front spots have been grabbing underneath the flyers feet, in between the bases hands to help lift. I feel like it takes coverage away from the bases though and just doesn’t seem sustainable. Is this the recommended way to do it now?
