So, since my youngest skater is young and impressionable, she is really wanting to try an Edea. At this point she has a good fit in the Jackson Debut Fusion. She has a borderline wide ball and a very narrow heel. Sometimes referred as a “Jackson foot” lol
We struggled with her fit at first and we determined that she needs a close fit at the toes (going down a half size and switched to regular width) to accommodate her slim ankles and heel. Her current skates fit well and she’s making progress and improving edge quality now etc.
The concern is, I don’t really understand how the Edea skate actually fits. The local rep is very conscientious but a bit biased since she only sells Edeas. I don’t really know much about how the boot is basically shaped and how they size them. They’re kind super secret magic skates. Lol.
But in any case, is there anyone who switched from a well fitting Jackson and went to a well fitting Edea? I know that the blades usually are smaller because of the construction of the sole but I’d appreciate the feedback on the transition and what to look for in fit and how the transition went. She does like the tops of her skates loose and I’m thinking the style of fit they have would suit her. Other than that I’d be concerned about switching from a known good fit.
Thanks in advance.
