Skate shops or fitters in Romania?

[honeyskates]

hello!!
I am a 23 year old adult learning to figure skate. I learnt by myself, without a coach, up until level 3-4 of the learn to skate program in about a month (I can do crossovers, two foot spin, though badly, two foot turn), and look forward to continuing this winter. Do you know of any fitters in Romania or pro shops where I can try some skates? If not, any advice for a good boot given my circumstance? I weigh around 60 kg (130lbs) and I am 170cm (5'7'') tall.

I currently have Graf Ruby Stars (stiffness of 25) which are good for where I am, but given the fact that I've been making pretty fast progress, I want to start practicing jumps, maybe by the end of the season, when the rinks close. Im looking to try some Edea boots, Jacksons, Risport or even Graf, since this boot really fits me. If you don't know any fitters/shops, any advice for what boot to get? Im debating between the Jackson Freestyles, the Edea Overture or Chorus, Risport RF3. I prefer to be slightly overbooted since I am an adult lol I need my ankles !!

Thank youu for any help !! <3

We need to get you out of those Ruby Stars as fast as possible because they are NOT stiff enough for you. Do not do anything else in them until you get new proper boots.
I need a little more information for you to suggest the proper boot brands and types. What is your foot type, are your arches: Very high/high/normal/low/flat?

Once I have that information I can make a suggestion for you and try to help you with a fitter in Romania.

Ahh thank you so much for your help :’) thought they might not be stiff enough, even for right now. I have Egyptian/African (first toe next to the big toe is almost equal but not quite and the rest are smaller like in Egyptian). My feet are kind of flat, pronating inside just a tiny bit and I have light bunions too (they don’t add much width). I have a pretty small ankle and small/medium width in general.

Thanks for your answer! I would suggest Edea or Riedell brand boots to you. You might be able to even try the Risport Royal Pro. You will definitely need fitted by a pro fitter b/c they are going to have to more than likely do a split width boot for you since you have a small ankle/heel area. Edea I would look at the Chorus boot. For Riedell: Motion.
You will need blades to go with these as they are boot only. A standard MK Pro or JW Coronation Ace would work as would an Ultima Mirage or Aspire XP.

Good luck!



For Risport there is a place in Bulgaria
