I competitively skated with I was younger, wasn't a very great skater by any means but Ioved it. I quit when I was 18 going to college. Now I'm 27 and I just got back into skating when my old rink opened back up. I desperately need new skates and I just want to get an idea of what I maybe want before I go to a fitter because I am so lost now looking at all of the options. When I was younger I just got what my coach told me to and now I have no coach yet but I really don't think I can wait to find one before I get new skates! I have landed my axle and want to begin doubles, I only ever landed a double salchow before I quit, I'm hoping to do it again along with maybe a double tow and a double loop is my ultimate goal now. I honestly don't remember the last test I passed I think it was maybe Juvenile.
Currently I have Harlick Competitor Plus skates, that are about 11 years old now including my 9 year break from skating, with an MK professional blade that I think I've had since I was maybe 14 lol. For reference I am 27 years old, 5ft 8in tall, and about 140ls. I am wondering if I should get another pair of Harlick Competitor Plus, although I feel as though I need more support or possibly do a Harlick High Tester, but I am nervous about being over booted. I've never heard much about the Harlick competitor Plus Plus if any of you have any input. I am also interested in Edeas but I do love my Harlicks. Also if I get a new blade should I stick with the MK professional or maybe upgrade to a John Wilson Gold Seal or is that unnecessary for my level?
Thank you so much for any advice/help you can give me!
