Looking for some new skate advice here! Currently, I am in a pair of Risport RF1 Elite boots with the Ultima Matrix Elite blade. My boots have, to say the least, seen better days. They are going on 2.5 years old with noticeable and deep creasing on both boots. I absolutely adore them. The most comfortable and best skates I have ever owned. Currently, I skate every day, about 3 hours per day. I am working on my junior moves, pre-gold dances, compete intermediate freestyle (double jumps, no triples here!! ) and am on a junior synchronized skating team (that's a story for another day ).
I'm planning on sticking with the same blades, however, I come to an impasse when looking at boots. A part of me wants to stick with another Risport, simply the same but lightweight, while I have plenty of recommendations for Edea. However, I know that you either do or don't have an Edea foot, and I'm concerned about making the giant investment in Edeas if I'm unsure. Additionally, would Edea and Risport be pretty similar because they are manufactured by the same company? Oh, and lastly, I love my boots nice and stiff if that makes a difference.
