my kid has skated and trained in different types of skates: never any foot injury. After skating in the all-too-stiff boot EDEA ICEFLY after over 13months, she decided to move down one strength of boot as the icefly very long to break-in (MORE THAN 2MONTHS). The specs say on website that the concerto senior ones good for doubles, triples and quad jumps!!!! so, we bought those and 2months later, foot injury which doctor measured to kind of very close to tendenitis. so, here goes the loss: no competition, doctor bills, time and no training. When we asked the Edea people to take those back , they told us to mail those boots back to them, they will see what's wrong with them!!!!!! knowing very well competition is in a month; and that they get your foot so painful; LISTEN THEY STILL WANT YOU TO TRY THEM ONE MORE TIME BY TELLING YOU BRING THEM IN, WE WILL SEE WHAT'S WRONG WITH THEM!!! GET IT GUYS.... NEVER GO FOR THESE... REALLY ZERO CUSHIONING ZERO COMFORT IN THOSE BOOTS... THOUSE STIFF ENOUGH FOR LANDING TRIPLE JUMPS --A PLASTIC JUNK BOOT TO MAKE YOU SUFFER.

I know this is an old post but have to say -Cant agree with you. My daughter used Ridell but has a large foot for age and Ridell became to heavy for the muscle strength at that age we decided on a lighter skate Edea Ice Fly- We had postal problems in the country and while waiting for the new skates she was off ice with no skates for 3 weeks. We received them a week before competition. She skated 3 sessions in them before competition and landed all her jumps - Skating in was effortless no blisters no burning feet. I believe you should follow the guidelines and every person suits a different skate according to their need and level. The wrong decision is a costly affair.

You really should have done your homework. The ICEFLY is a very stiff boot as it is designed for Professionals. Had you researched Edea's web site you would have seen this and probabaly opted for their cheaper Preludo or Overture boot which are not as stiff.
It really is a shame your blaming Edea for your own fault. My daughter has used Edea skates throughout her career and they are much better and last longer than the likes of Risport.
