I want to start figure skating and my city has an ice rink only during the winter and it also doesn't have a shop where I can buy skates from.I've skated before since I was like 8 but not figure skating. I can skate forward and backwards ,do forward and backwards swizzles and also do a two foot spin. Now I want to actually do this sport and buy my first pair of skates,but I have to buy them online. Also I'm almost 16 and I weight 45 kg. Should I buy Jackson Artiste ,Edea Overture or maybe other skates?

Hi and welcome. Where are you from in the world? I or someone here should be able to tell you where you can get properly fit.

In order to help you, we need more info on your foot. Arches: non-existent, low, medium/normal, high, very high? Is your foot wide, not wide, wide in toebox and more narrow towards heel?
Also what is the shape of your foot?

Ok. Look into a few brands: Graf, Jackson, and Risport. The closest in person fitters to you (IIRC) are going to be in Budapest, Hungary.
Graf Ruby Victory, Risport Electra, Jackson Freestyle.

Good luck!
