So I'm 18, 54kg and I've been skating for 3 years now, including the covid period when I couldnt skate at all. I currently skate in Edea chorus which have now broken down and i found out were actually a size too big.
Anyways, I'm currently working on axel and some doubles. My axel is not consistent and i don't always land it, but yeah that's my approximate level.
Ive been thinking of getting a boot above chorus just because of how quickly they break down and the Edea pianos really caught my eye. I know they're rated for triples and quads but when I tried them on they felt very compressing and like they held my feet well, the heel lock was also better compared to my chorus. My only concern is if id be doing my skating progress a disservice by getting them and whether Id be putting myself at risk of injury because of a too high boot. I tried on ice fly and concerto too, but neither of the two felt like they held my foot equally well.
I liked the way the piano felt when just trying it on, but I have no idea how it'd feel when the blades mounted, or on the ice, or wearing it for long periods for that matter. The owner of the skate shop I went to said that it was not possible to overboot in Edea but I'm a little hesitant just because i don't want to hamper my progress or damage my body by picking the wrong boot.
