At my rink, Edeas were "in" a couple of years back. My daughter never switched to Edeas so I have not first hand experience - this is just what I was told. Everyone love them at first because there was no "break in" period. However, a couple of months after most skaters got them, they started to have problems with them. The issue was on doubles jumps and higher, skaters could not get the laces tight enough so they had to tape their boots to get the fit they wanted. As soon as the skater outgrew the boots and/or broke them down, most looked for another brand.
No, it's a brand. http://www.paramountskates.com/I thought a Paramount blade was a type of blade, not brand.
Both PChan and Hanyu are using Edea.:think:I agree. I have Edea Concerto and the laces are always getting too loose. At the beginning, i LOVED them, but after only a season i realize they are not stiff enough, but once taped it's okay.

They are in the Ice Fly model. Also, Gracie Gold is in them and she is getting a new pair as needed as she is one of their "spokespeople"
On Instagram i saw a picture of Patrick Chan with four pairs of skates. Yeah... I think he probably gets new skates every few months hahaha
Chan seems to have worn Edea Concerto rather than Fly recently (Hanyu in those?) http://cdn3.volusion.com/zarbv.ethpz/v/vspfiles/photos/categories/388.jpg?1384070403 .Yes i think that makes a big difference. Like i said i absolutely LOVED these boots. If i had 700$ to spend every six months (or new boots given me every 6 months) i'd be really happy But i don't, so... My next boots probably won't be Edea.
