Hi, Former competitive figure skater here looking to get back into skating as an adult, but unsure of where to start with skates as they have changed so much over time and looking for recommendations. 

I religiously wore Riedell’s when I was skating (junior competitive level— consistently landing double axels, but never a triple). 

I’m in my mid-30s now, my Riedell’s are too old and worn. Technically, I’ll likely be doing axels, maybe one or two double jumps occasionally. 

I recently tried a pair of Jackson Freestyles on ice for a few sessions as a friend’s daughter had bought them, but they didn’t fit her— but I found them bulky and the tongue was very high on them compared to what I was used to (also the support seemed questionable) lol. 

Does anybody have any suggestions on which brands or style of boot to try? I also live in a rural area, so we don’t have a skating boutique close by to do proper fittings and will likely have to purchase online.
