First skates advice

[vicky.wkr]

Hi,
I’ve done recreational skating on hockey skates pretty much all my life. I want to start figure skating lessons now, so I will have to get figure skates.
My measurements are: 1.63m, ~55kg, Egyptian feet, medium-high arches, normal width. I’m 18.
I have thought about either getting the Risport Antares or Electra light or Edea Overture? I also thought about Riedell but they don’t seem to be available where I live. I don’t mind paying a bit more now, but want to make sure they will last me into at least single jumps. I know I should go to a professional fitter, are there any good ones in the Netherlands? I’ve had trouble finding any.

Thanks!

You really need fit to tell what brand you really need. For your description I could suggest Risport and Graf. I don't read/speak Dutch but I could make out enough to hopefully help you here. IDK If this is an official fitter but you could call and find out. Looks like they have several brands.

If you are living in the South; Karin Ronne (Belgium) is a 5th great option.

@Ic3Rabbit your suggestions are both respected fitters (just like the three I added to the list.)
