Ive been skating since january this year but have been told im a fast progressor. Im 14(just turned), female, 5'2, 48kg and have wide feet.
Im currently in jackson mystiques and have been since around may but feel like an upgrade is necessary. yesterday, i realised a masive ankle crease appeared and ialready know my skates squish all the way easily so im confident they are done for. Im on uk bis bronze and am moving to silver soon. outside of group lessons ive got my scratch spin, waltz jump toeloop, salchow, twizzles and am working on sit spin, back scratch, hydroblade. I like how mystiques fit me so would like to stay in jacksons or maybe try edeas.
i was looking into jackson freestyle, edea overture but my more advanced friends said chorus might be better as theyd last me far longer whereas overture would break down quite quickly. if i end up with chorus ill also need an understanding of which blades to get as i have absolutely no idea. i want these to last my basic single jumps but probs will break down or upgrade before higher jumps like axel.

im gonna fit properly in person but wanted a price range an an idea of what im looking for as i need to convince my mum lol

Hi and welcome. Sorry I missed your post, as I have been busy with events this week and haven't had much time to pop in here.
If you have wide feet you can eliminate Edeas completely, not going to work with your wide feet. You might be able to fit the Risport Electra, but the only other brand I would suggest is Jackson, which you are currently in. With your height and weight, you shouldn't go to a freestyle b/c they aren't going to stiff enough. Jackson Debut would work for you. The Mystique you are in, you should not be jumping in as they aren't anywhere near stiff enough for you.

WIth the boots I suggested, you will need a standard intermediate blade, either MK Pro or JW Coronation Ace.

@WednesdayMarch can suggest a proper figure skate fitter for you in the UK.

Good luck!
