2nd pair of skates

ELLES vs SCOTT HAMILTON

Hello, this is my first time posting on this website. I am a fairly beginner skater and have recently been informed that I should get a new pair of skates. The skates I am currently skating in are Ridell emeralds, and they have broken down quite a bit. When I went to my local rink's equipment store and they suggested I get Risport Scott Hamilton skates, but I couldn't find much information online about them. I was also recommended Jackson Elle fusion skates (but they would have to be ordered). Does anyone have information on either skates or other recommendations? (if it helps I am currently working on backward crossovers, three turns, one-foot spins, bunny hops, side toe hops, and lunges). Any input would be highly appreciated, thanks!

A google search of Risport Scott Hamilton skate shows them as the first result on a skatewear website.

If your skate tech says they are the right skates for you then go with whichever one fits your foot correctly.

First of all, you need to get ones that fit your feet - different brands have different fits, so make sure that you get a skate that fits the shape of YOUR foot.

The rink store that you are going to - are they super-experienced in fitting figure skates or is it just a place that stocks some figure skate stuff? Did they have you try on anything, look at your feet, etc.? Make sure you see a fitter that is specialized in figure skates - they will be able to recommend the right brand and model for your foot, skating level, and height/weight. Sometimes the rink shops are great and sometimes they are just hockey shops with a couple of figure skates.

I did see the listing, but other than that and an Instagram post from a skate store but other than that I couldn't find anything, also thanks for the advice!
