Hi there! I'm a 23yo female skater, currently working on Freestyle 1-2 skills (waltz jump, half flip, etc) and have found that my current boots are not nearly supportive enough. I got Jackson Mystiques (with Mark 2 blades that come with) when I first started about 5-6 months ago and have been using those ever since, but I've started skating a bit more recently (6-8 hours/week) and landing jumps have become a bit scary in these lol. I've had some pain in my arches with my Mystiques, and ended up finding the trick of skipping one eyelet when lacing, which has helped. Both my feet pronate as well, which I plan on discussing with my skate tech when I get fitted and have to talk blades. My pro shop isn't super local, though, so I was hoping to get some feedback here to have an idea going into my fitting.
I'm looking to get a new pair of boots, and I don't necessarily want to overboot, but really want them to last as long as possible, and I'm hoping they can get me through all my single jumps if possible. I'm open to other brands outside Jackson (I was looking at Jackson Premiere or Edea Chorus but feel like that's a big jump?) I'm 5'7" and fluctuate 180-190 lbs for reference. If anyone has any recommendations or tips, I'd really appreciate it
Edit: After some suggested research from you guys, I found that I have a Roman foot shape, and I definitely have high arches. I'm pretty sure my feet are medium width (not narrow or wide) and forefoot is not significantly bigger than heel, only slightly. Hopefully this is helpful context, and I appreciate the feedback !
