** I phrased it as though aesthetic was my main priority; the look is just the deciding factor in which boot I ultimately end up with**
Hi! I'm new to this site so I hope this is the right area to post this haha, but I need some advice.
My last boots were Edeas, (so I am used to the loose ankle), but they were super broken down and so I ordered new skates on Friday.
I ordered the Edea Concertos to my family in The Netherlands as my country of residence does not have any pro-shops and my rink significantly overcharges for Edeas, (they are an Edea dealer).
So I ordered these on Friday, I got them on sale for 200 euros, while they are usually 325 euros, (in the USA I believe Edeas are much more expensive but they're fairly 'cheap' in European countries). They arrived and I was sent a picture, however, they sent us an older model of the boots; the picture they used for them presented the normal brown heel, the one with the 5 crystals at the top part, and much more padding.
However, I received an older model which only has the gold stars imprinted, (the ones their male boots have), and thinner padding around the edge at the top of the boot. I'm concerned this is an outdated model?
I was very disappointed, as dumb as it sounds, (I'm a teenager, sorry for being superficial oops), in both the lack of padding as well as the appearance, which I'm aware shouldn't be a deal-breaker.
I initially wanted the Edea Chorus skates, as they had that cool champagne heel at the pro shop there, however their Concertos are the older models as it is the last of their stock and I assume they have not sold as many of them compared to their Chorus skates as they have the newest model.
So now I've got 14 days to decide if I want to return them and get the Chorus instead which is 250 euros, I'm even delaying getting my new blades put on because I'm not sure yet.
It sounds very stupid but I've heard way better things about the Chorus boots; it's merely an added bonus for the champagne heel and the crystals at the top.
Hope this makes sense, sorry for all the waffle, I'm a pro at it unfortunately.
I am wondering whether I should return them and pay an extra 50 euros for the new Chorus model, as I know I will have to use these skates for a while as they are a birthday gift from my parents, (I am offering to pay any extra costs).
*TO CLARIFY; both boots are good options for me, and I couldn't decide which to order so when the Concertos went on sale in my size I ultimately decided on those*
