So a couple months ago I budgeted to buy a $450 boot next summer, planning to use the blades I currently have. But now I'm thinking I'm probably going to need a boot in the ranges of $550-600. Since a couple months ago, I did not see myself attempting doubles at this point. But now I'm not sure where to pull the extra money from. Of course, whenever my current boots wear out, I'll ask my coach what boots to get. But right now I'm just trying to figure out how much money I might possibly need to spend.
Information:Right now I have Riedell Gold Medallions. I have had them since April, and in April I was only doing half revolution jumps. But now I am working on axel, double salchow, double loop and double flip. I have not landed any yet, so at the moment, no stress is being put on the boots from these jumps. But I will be landing them soon. I have absolutely no clue how my skates will hold up to doubles.
I skate 3.5 hours per week, but I'll be working to get that into 4-6 hours. Might not happen, but I can try.
I weigh 110 lbs, 5'7-ish. I don't know how hard I land or anything. I will not be growing out of the boots at all (feet have been same size for years.)
So what Riedell skate recommendation would be made for somebody consistently landing most doubles? That's the maximum jump level I'm planning for next summer. If a skate recommendation can't be made, then at least a price range, pleasey.
Thanks in advance for any and all help!
