Hello! My current skates are Jackson Freestyle Fusions (size 6.5 w/ Aspire XP blade) and I've had them for about a year now and I think it's time for me to get a new pair. I'm usually at the rink for 7-10 hours a week, and I'm a Solo Ice Dancer (I'm currently at Novice solo dance free skate and Pre-Gold Pattern Dance). Due to the fact that Jacksons hurt the crap out of my feet, I was thinking of switching company's, possible to Edea. I have Jackson C/D (Wide) skates and I don't really know if the Edea widths would work for me (I was thinking either the D or possibly the E width) as I have the typical "Jackson foot" (wide toes, super high arches, wide heel, and wide foot overall). The fit of Jacksons is basically perfect, they just hurt my feet so much at this point (not the insoles fault, just the way they are made I suppose). If I were to get Edea, would Ice Fly's or Piano's be too much for ice dance? (I'm a late teen skater). Once I pass my Senior/Gold Ice Dance tests, I plan to start on MITF again (currently at Juvenile), so would Ice Fly/Piano's be more than what I need?
*** I also have probably one of the worst cases of terrible, busted ankles in my whole state , and my pro shop doesn't know what to put me in either since I live in a small town, and I'm one of the only Solo ice dancers here (one of the highest rank too, so that doesn't help me, and the next nearest fitter is 6+ hours away).
