I'm an adult skater and I'm doing double jumps with Risport RF1 elite.
I don't tie my boots too tight. Too tightness occurs pain and erosion on my ankles.

I was good at double salchow but recently, I don't feel comfortable to doing it because I can't handle my blade rocker to jump up.
My landing leg barley endure the momentum because my right ankle goes too outside.
I had no opinion that adult skater can break down super stiff boots like Risport RF1 elite so I didn't doubt my boots but...today, I found some wrinkles.
Risport RF series have stitches on their ankle of the boots so I can't tell my boots are broken down or not.


So...I want to ask how do you distinguish Risport RF series boots are broken or not?
And if my boots are broken, can you recommend some kind of boots?
My feet have wide toe and narrow to the heel. Top of the feet are high but my arch is almost flat.
(My former boots were Edea Icefly and it brought me some terrible pain...)
Stores in my country only sell Edea and Ripsort in my skating level, but I can still consider the other brands .

What are your statistics (height and weight) ? Normally the RF1 boots are for skaters at a higher technical level (triple and quad jumps, for example) unless you're a larger adult who needs a higher degree of stiffness even at a lower technical level. How long have you been wearing those boots and how many hours per week do you skate? (I use Risport RF1s as a small adult who skates senior pairs averaging 15 hours per week. I break down boots and wear out the MK Phantom blades about twice a year. But a lot of the breakdown comes from landing throws and big jumps, and doing sit spins and death spirals which put more of a strain on the leather.) What blades do you use, and were they set on your boots by a professional blade technician who diagnosed whether or not you naturally pronate on the right foot?

What country do you live in? I'm in Canada and don't know the European market well, but there are others on this forum who can advise you about either travelling to another country to try different boot brands, or recommend a nearby skate shop who can fit you and order in other brands or another model of Risports if they really are the best brand for your shape of feet. For instance, Jacksons might be better for your wide forefoot than Risport, but I don't know how well they handle flat arches. Good luck!
