Struggling on Boot & Blade Recommends + Opinions on Overbooting as an Adult

[ohdust]

Hello, I would appreciate any recommendations as I am looking for new skates and blade.

I am an adult about 210 lbs and currently taking private lessons, we're about up to learn to skate 3. I use to roller skate as a kid. I am wanting to eventually do more jumps, spins etc, but just want the best to get me through the basics.

Right now I'm currently in Jackson Mystiques and feel they don't have enough support for me. I am told by adult skaters I need to upgrade but not sure on which one.

My foot is an Egyptian, narrow heel, wider toe box. I wear a 7 in Jacksons, I tried on a 255C in Edea and Risport.

Any recommendation on what boot and blade I should get?

I'm okay with eventually upgrading later, I just want a boot that's safe for my level and to bend in.

The fitter recommended: Edea Overture, Risport Electra Light, or Jackson Freestyle.
Blades? I was told to add a Mirage, Edea Rotation to get started.

I have tried on the Risport Royal Prime and loved how they fit, but was told they would be way to advanced for my skill level as of right now.

Hi and welcome. You definitely need a stiffer boot and for your stats a much stiffer boot. I would run far away from the fitter you went to b/c those are no where near stiff enough suggestions of boots for you.

With an Egyptian foot you could do Edea, Riedell, Risport, Graf.
Edea: Concerto
Riedell: Bronze Star, poss Silver Star
Graf: Galaxy, Windsor.
As far as Risport: Prime would be the only boot for you in their line and it's the top of the line. But with the stiffness you need with your stats, it could work.

Blade: Traditional style intermediate blade: JW Coronation Ace or MK Pro.

If you let me know where you are in this world, I can possibly suggest a better fitter.


Good luck!
