My coach told me that I might be looking at replacing my skate, since it has already bent near the flex notch (probably due to practicing crossovers). I currently have heat-molded Riedell 133s. I have no problem with them, no break-in period, really nice to skate on. I skate ISI Basic (somewhere around Gamma-Delta level, in terms of skill, but can do certain elements from FS1). I have had these skates for a year, skating on average at 1x a week for 2 hours.
Coach said that I would need thicker boots, but given my current level, I'm afraid I might be overbooting. I'm more inclined towards the Riedells since I've already tried them, and I might have to order them from abroad since they are priced so high locally. What Riedell model should I go for? Should I even go for another 133, or should I move up the ladder to Riedell 255 or 910? Thanks!
