New skates- risport

Aneehs · May 29, 2017

Hi! I need advice on what new skates to buy as I have outgrown my Edea overture and they're too soft now. I am landing my singles apart from axel and my loop isn't very good.

I'm considering moving to risport as I have narrow feet and have tried their skates and they feel comfortable, but their stiffness rating is all different. Would the RF3 or royal pro be over booting for me? I weigh about 110lb. If anyone has experience of either skate please let me know? Especially the Royal pro as I can't find a review for them anywhere

Thanks!

RF3 will be too soft, they are similar stiffness to Edea Overture.

I thought the rf3 were for doubles but the overture were for singles? should I go for RF2 instead?

Just to clarify: Do you mean that you have literally outgrown them, because your feet are still growing? Or, have your feet stopped growing, and your skills have advanced, and the Overture is no longer adequate? There's a big difference.

Both ways actually

They're slightly too tight and also breaking down. My feet are done growing now though.

If your feet are done growing, you may want to consider a more advanced boot than what the manufacturer's charts gives as a guideline based on jump level. Here's one of my previous posts that explains why:
