Skate recommendations

Hey yall I need some advice

I’m a later-stage beginner, (have jumps through loop working on lutz and flip, and scratch/sit spin), and I think my skates are pretty dead. I got my Jackson freestyles with the aspire blade in September and I fear they’re at the end of their lifespan (sides bend easily if pinched, tongue the same, and creases around the ankle).
18yo, ~160lbs, 5’7” approx, with an Egyptian/ Greek foot type. I do not mind dishing out for a higher end skate if need be, I just would prefer something that will last me (I don’t know if this is ideal but maybe last me through doubles if I get that far) :/ What models would be fitting for someone of my caliber? I am a bit wary of just repurchasing freestyles as all of the sizing charts only going up to 115lbs may mean I will just break them down just as fast again. Looking at Jackson, Edea, and Risport as of right now. Thanks!

Hi and welcome. The reason you are having an issue are because your boots have never been stiff enough for you, then alone now when you are jumping and such. For your foot type I would suggest Riedell and Risport. Try Risport RF3 Pro. Riedell Motion (boot only) or Bronze Star boots.
You're going to need a blade to go with the boots. MK Pro or JW Coronation Ace---traditional style (not lites or revs).

Good luck!
