when choosing skates consider not only skating ability but also age (is the skater still growing, if yes they will have the opportunity to buy another stiffer pair as the feet grow, you will not be growing, you don;t want to get skates that will be breaking down in six months), height and weight (two skaters of the same ability if one weights 100 pounds and the other is 200, they will need different strength skates.) And I agree with the above, if you were working on axel before and you are the young age of 20, I predict you will be jumping and spinning and soon! Follow the advice of others and seek out an experienced fitter. new skates are an investment, you want to do all you can to get the right pair.
