Hi all. Ok, so I'm in a bit of a situation.
About 5 months ago I purchased a pair of chorus (Size 255, Width C) and I've just noticed they are starting to crease on my landing foot. I'm an older teen skater who weighs about 57kg (125 lbs), I skate about 3-4 times (6-10 hrs) per week and have all my single jumps down (I'm currently working on my doubles).
Here's the deal: I live in Sydney, Australia, and you can't find many fitters who actually know what they're doing as most specialise in hockey. I've been skating for about 6-7 years (took a long break and went back to it about a year ago) and know my way around skates. However, I was previously a Jackson skater and have recently switched to Edeas. I have very narrow but very flat feet and I could never skate with my orthotics as they caused me constant arch pain while skating. When I switched to Edeas, I instantly felt a change and am now way more comfortable skating than I ever was in Jacksons. I knew the chorus boots wouldn't last me a super long time, but I had no idea that they'd only last me 5 months, and in my honest opinion, I'd say I'd only have a few weeks left until they give out completely.
I'm looking to buy a pair of Ice Fly's (where I'm going to scrape up $800, I don't know) and I need some knowledge from everyone. For the skaters who have been skating with the Ice Fly's for a while, how long do they take to break down? I'm super scared I'm going to experience the same situation with the Ice Fly's with them breaking down 5 months. And my other question: could there be other contributing factors as to why my chorus boots broke down so easily? I know that the size of the boot plays a big role but my current boots feel pretty snug and I never tied them super tight as I know edeas are meant to be loose around the tongue. Also, are there any other skates that you'd suggest? I'm not too keen on risport as I've tried them and do not like how they feel at all. I'm open to give jacksons another go but again I'd prefer to stick to edeas.
Pls help. Thanks skaters.
