EDEA has been a renowned provider of ice skates in the figure skating industry since 2000. EDEA ice skates are known for their unmatched comfort, lightness and classic Italian design. They have carved out a distinctive legacy as the pinnacle of performance and craftsmanship in the industry. Founded by Sabrina Merlo, a former competitive skater, EDEA was born out of a desire to revolutionize the world of figure skating equipment. Merlo drew upon her own experiences on the ice to create skates that met the rigorous demands of elite skaters but also elevated the sport to new heights of elegance and precision. From its humble beginnings in a small workshop in Italy, EDEA quickly gained recognition for its commitment to excellence and innovation. Today, the brand continues to push the boundaries of ice skate design and has earned an outstanding reputation among skaters of all levels, from aspiring novices to world champions. FAQ About EDEA Ice Skate Models What’s the difference between all the different EDEA ice skate models? EDEA skates currently have nine boots in their Ice collection. Let’s dive into each of the models and what makes them unique. Ice Fly The Ice Fly is known for its lightweight construction and sleek design. It’s the lightest skating boot available on the market. The skate’s design supports triple and quad jumps on the ice. Elite skaters favour the Ice Fly for its flexible range of motion and exceptional precision. Piano The Piano is the most supportive boot in EDEA’s Ice line. Its patented Anti-Shock system increases stability on landing by absorbing and lowering impact vibrations and ice chatter. The Piano offers unmatched strength, stiffness and responsiveness on the ice with its support index of 95. Concerto The Concerto combines performance and comfort with a classical look. With a honeycomb footbed and a thinner sole, the Concerto is perfect for skaters looking for more feel and control on the ice. Chorus The Chorus is for young skaters. It features a thinner sole that lowers the centre of gravity for better stability and has a shell designed to provide ample support. The chorus is perfect for skaters developing their technique and skills on the ice. Overture The Overture is the best choice for skaters taking their first steps on the ice. Its unique shell and thinner sole increase control and lower the centre of gravity. It also quickly adapts to the skater’s feet to minimize break-in time. Motivo The Motivo is also perfect for beginners because it provides superior comfort and support. It allows the skater to progress with confidence and ease. Wave The Wave has excellent support and comfort for beginner and intermediate skaters. It’s an ideal choice for skaters still honing their skills and gaining confidence on the ice. Tempo The Tempo is for beginner and recreational skaters. Featuring a responsive footbed and a thinner sole for a feel, this model provides a good sense of balance and feel for learning skaters. Flamenco Ice Inspired by the Spanish dance, the Flamenco Ice features a unique shell that improves power transmission and shortens reaction time. This model is for defined movements and quick transitions, perfect for ice dancing. I’m a beginner. Which model should I choose? We recommend the Tempo, Wave, Motivo or Overture for beginners. Is there a model designed for ice dance? Yes, the Flamenco Ice is for ice dancers. FAQ About Fit What is the EDEA Instant Custom Fit? The EDEA Instant Custom Fit allows total customization. It tailors the boot to your foot. EDEA’s new thermoformable material becomes soft and pliable when heated so that you can narrow or widen standard “C” width boots to accommodate a range of foot sizes, from “AAA” to “EEE.” This technology is far superior to heat moulding for traditional leather boots, as customizing EDEA skates involves changing the actual structure of the boot, not just the padding inside. So, whether you have bunions, narrow heels, or narrow Achilles tendons, EDEA boots can be adjusted and reshaped to fit your feet without compromising the boot’s structure in 45 minutes to 2 hours. Which models can you shape with the Instant Custom Fit System? You can shape the Overture, Chorus, Concerto, Ice Fly, Piano and Flamenco Ice with the Instant Custom Fit System. FAQ About Sizing Is sizing consistent across different EDEA models? The sizing and fit are consistent across all EDEA Ice models. However, you may find that the difference in padding gives a slightly different feel. Which size should I buy? When deciding between sizes, ensure your skates fit snugly and comfortably but are not too tight. We recommend measuring the length and width of your foot to find the right size before purchasing. When they arrive, try them on at home and walk around to ensure they’re the right size and provide adequate support before going on the ice. Are the boot sizes the same as regular shoe sizes? Your shoe size is only a rough guide or starting point. Regular shoes move and flex with your feet. However, skates keep your foot in the perfect position at all times. A fitting with one of our team members at Figure Skating Boutique will help ensure the best fit for you.
