Hello!
I'm an adult figure skater (47kg 103lb) learning single jumps. I used to have a pair of Jackson Mystique that lasted me only like half a year, and it did not fit the shape of my feet, making it really sore in 30 minutes of skating in them. I went to the pro shop for a new pair of skates, and they suggested me the Edea Ice Fly. I was originally looking for a lower model like the Chorus, but they told me that if I buy it, then I'll probably only last a few years in them. I've been wearing the Ice Fly for an year now, and I absolutely love it. The boot fits perfectly, and I never felt pain in them. I also like the stiffness and support it provides especially when I'm jumping, and I honestly never really felt that I was over-booted. However, since the pandemic, all of the ice rinks around me closed down, and I started looking at inline skates recently because I just miss skating sooo much!
The problem is, I don't know which boot to buy. I'm thinking of buying the Snow White Frames, but I don't feel comfortable financially buying another pair of Ice Fly. When I purchased my first pair of Ice Fly, I had financial support from my parents, but now I'm all on my own. So, I was looking at Edea Overture or Chorus since they are about $250-300 cheaper than the Ice Fly+Snow White combination. I'm planning to practice my spins, waltz and single jumps, and some footwork in them, and I think I'm going to practice about 2-4 hours every week. I saw somewhere that you should go for the same model or stiffer boots for inline skating, and I was curious how true this is. Also, is the feel very different between the Ice Fly and the Overture/Chorus? I did my boot fitting in my hometown, and the pro shop near my current residence does not carry Edea boots, so I can't do a fitting of the other models.
Technically, I CAN pay for an Ice Fly+Snow White combination, but I would like to save some bucks if it is truly unnecessary to buy another Ice Fly.
