overture or chorus??

[lucyskates]

I'm completely new here so I apologise if this is in the wrong place!

I'm looking for some advice on what Edea model would suit me best. For some context, I'm almost 22 and I'm quite stocky at about 126 pounds at 5'2. My edges are pretty decent and my one foot spin is okay-ish, and I'm working on sit-spins. I can jump waltz, salchow, toe-loop and loop and am working towards lutz and flip. I skate about three/four times a week for two hours at a time.

I'm currently in Overtures and have had them for a while but am finding they're breaking down pretty fast (as I know many find is the case with Edeas). I'm also wondering if they're giving me enough support now that my jumps are getting higher and more powerful, and I find myself holding back sometimes. My knees have also been a bit dodgy since my jumps have gotten more powerful (this may be completely unrelated though).

I've heard that the stiffness rating for Edeas is more for children and teens and that adults might need a stiffer boot but is that the case? I've heard people say you can't overboot in Edeas but I think I'd feel a bit pretentious turning up to the rink in Chorus or Ice Flys to only jump singles. I don't know if I ever will jump doubles but I'm not ruling it out completely.

Does anyone have any thoughts/own experiences? Should I stick to Overture or consider going up a boot or two?

Thanks Xxx

You absolutely can overboot in Edea but many fall for that excellent marketing strategy.

As an adult, you should be in at least Chorus by now. You could probably cope with Concerto if you wanted to go up further in stiffness. Ice Fly and Piano are definitely too much though.

thank you so much! I was wondering if it was just me overthinking it but a lot of people have said the same.
ice fly and piano are way outside of my price range and my skating ability ahaha
