You really should seek the assistance of a fitter in a skate shop for the best results. They know how to adjust for the "personality" of each manufacturers' boots for the best fit.However, if you want to take your chances with online shopping, then I'd pay attention to how a good online seller suggests measuring for size. Here's one example for Risport boots from a USA seller named Kinzie's Closet...https://www.kinziescloset.com/risport-skate-sizing-chart.htmlReally, a good fitter will be your best bet. Try to find one to visit in person (when you can do it safely) for the best results.
OP: You might want to contact Risport specifically for measurement and tracing instructions. I've never dealt with Risport, but Jackson and Riedell have specific instructions and templates; these are not standardized, and vary with the manufacturer. You send them the results, and they suggest a size. Note: You will need a friend to help you with the measurements and tracings; if you try to do them on yourself, you will get distorted results. Good luck!
Thank you for replying. I tried contacting Risport directly a few weeks ago but I haven't recieved an answer yet I hope that Edea and Risport are quite similar since they use to be made in the same factory (and maybe still are)
I'm in the same situation as you- I live in France and there's no fitter here who comes even close to my fitter in the US. I 100% have the same frustrations as you in terms of what they stock.My first pair of skates over here were Risport. When it came time for new skates, I tried to contact them directly to see if they could do semi-customs à les North American Brands. They never responded. So you may need to be aggressive and call them, repeatedly if necessary.Fwiw, I think Edea changed the last somewhat when they split off from Risport. The Edeas I tried on fit very differently, and there's no way I could have worn them, but Risport has the best out-of-the-box fit for me.Good luck!
