Overture

I bought these and quickly learned they are too big (rookie mistake), but I thought I would review them anyway. Please keep that in mind though!
So these are my first pair of skates as an adult. As a child, I wore hand-me-downs until I stopped skating, but now I’m back! I compared the Overtures to Risport’s RF3 Pros (I believe) and I definitely found the Edeas to be superior in construction and comfort. They are quite padded, and while the open ankle is perturbing to some, I find them to still be quite responsive, especially now that I’ve been wearing them for two months and have a better feel for how they move.
The arch support is lacking. That’s a common observation in Edea and as someone with higher arches than average, I can agree. I don’t find myself having toooo much arch pain so long as I don’t lace too tightly over the arch of my foot, and I focus on tightening towards the heel and ankle (and toes) instead. I do have some ankle slippage but I think that has more to do with my socks and the sizing than with the boot.
Overall a great boot to reintroduce myself to the sport in. I plan on switching out next year due to the sizing, but I have loved these so far!
**Can’t really speak on durability since I’ve only had them for 2 months, but so far so good.

Overtures were my first skates when I started as an adult and I liked them a lot. The boot allows for ankle flexibility (like all Edeas do) yet give the support you need when learning figure skating. They’re a great option for entry level and can take you long ways, up to axel. I had to switch after one year though, because I learned I had bought them too big.

The Overture is known to be a bit wider than other boots that are not available in different widths (AA, A, B, C, D). This being said I still was in massive pain the first three months because I have the widest feet, or at least that’s the impression I learned a bit about figure skates. I now got them mechanical wided, and all is well. Those were the bad news, everything else about the Overture is just right. They have the cuffed ankle cushion, which Edea boots only have up to the Concerto, and they are really comfortable in general. It’s made for singles and doubles.
An aspect I can always talk about is if it’s suitable for adult skaters. My short answer is: yes! I know a few adult skaters who have or had the Overture as their first or second boot. The stiffness can get you, depending on how often you train and how much stress is put on them they will probably get you through your singles and maybe the axel.
I can just really say I love my Overtures and it’s really the perfect boot for me right now.

(As always please make sure you get the right size! In the best case scenario you go to a store and get measured, if that’s not possible measure you’re own feet)
