In our ice skating collection we have both vegan models and some in real leather.
Tempo, Wave, Ice Fly and Piano are vegan and cruelty free, while Motivo, Overture, Chorus, Concerto and Flamenco Ice are still in leather.
Shoe size is only a rough guide, at best a starting point. Shoes are designed to flex whereas skates are designed to keep your foot still in the perfect position. A fitting with an Edea dealer will ensure the best fit and the ultimate in performance.

No! Everyone’s feet are actually slightly different. The memory foam will be shaped for them. By checking their boots you may think they’re too short when they are too narrow or vice versa. Sometimes, the pressure points don’t match and so the right size can feel wrong. Always size with new boots.
No! Growth is not uniform and can vary in a year. The changes are not always proportional. Sometimes skaters have been compensating for big boots by over tightening laces and deforming boots so it’s always best to get measured.
No! These sizes are for reference only. Use one of the three sizing methods.
For the best fit, nothing beats the personal touch so pop down to your local Edea Authorized dealer.
No, this damages the laces and you should cut when replacing them. Simply push the lace tip back into the lace, it’s nicer and just take it out when changing laces.
Yes, as long as it’s the right size, any blade model can be used on Edea boots.
The mounting of the blade has to be done by professional skate technicians.
Yes, you can easily use it for Inline, while for quads it might be a little bit stiff, but it depends on the state. For mounting the frame, we recommend that you contact your Edea Authorized Dealer who will have to adapt a curved ice boot to the roller flat frame.
Edea boots are anatomically shaped and padded, designed to give extra lateral support so bunga pads should not be necessary. Remember, Edea boots can be adjusted to your feet using Instant Custom Fit. However, if you want to wear a bunga pad this is not an issue.
The final choice of boot is yours. Our top end skates like Piano and Ice Fly for ice or Fly for roller offer more support for more powerful skaters. Some younger beginners may not have the power to take full advantage of all these features and limit the proper muscle development of their body.
The innersole is the best indicator of size. If there are issues, it is probably one of 2 issues. New boots: you may need some custom shaping to get the perfect fit. Check with your dealer. Old boots: if you do not unlace boots can become narrower or suffer from Aladdin's tip. If this is the case, your dealercan adjust your boots. Remember to always unlace properly - your boots need to relax too!
Not all of them, but most of them. Apart from the first test mounting where all the slots are fixed, then we recommend leaving maximum 1 or 2 empty holes in the toes and 1 in the heel. Trust your technician!
The design on the sole is purely aesthetic and not a reference for assembly. The only way to check if the mounting is correct is to skate and feel aligned. As alignment is so important, we recommend only using a professional skate technician. They have the skills, the tools and the expertise to ensure your frames are perfectly mounted.

This depends on how often you skate. We find skaters who train regularly everyday change laces every 2 months when the elasticity is reduced.
Don’t forget to always have a spare pair.
It depends on how often you skate, on the ice and how you take care of your blades. There are skaters that prefer to sharpen them once a month and those who prefer three times in a year. Remember to use the E-guards off-ice, to wipe the blades carefully after each session using the blade towel and store them in soft blade covers to absorb any residual moisture. Your edges will last longer!
Skating will make your boots dirty. Wiping them everytime will help keep them clean and using Edea Polish before a big event will help them sparkle like new.
For the inside, prevention is better than cure. Let your boots dry naturally after skating, useodor absorbers for added freshness and don’t forget to change your socks every session.
Check our suggestion on how to take care and maintain ice or roller boots.
Follow our suggestion for ice boots or roller boot. They are really simple and will make your boots last longer and maintain all their features to boost your performance.
When you wear your shoes, put Odor Absorbers back in the poly bag and reseal otherwise it will absorb odor and moisture from the air. When you feel your boot stay wet, it’s time to regenerate the Silica Gel. It’s one of the components of the Odor Abosorbers that absorbs moisture. Place it for a few hours on a heat source (radiator), it will expel the absorbed moisture and will be ready for use again.
Always speak to your Authorized Edea dealer first. They can make any adjustments and offer appropriate service. If they feel it is an unusual issue, they will contact Edea head office.
You should check with a medical professional regarding orthotics. Shoes and skates have different roles and so orthotics cannot be swapped. If you already have skate orthotics, please bring them to your fitting. If not, size without orthotics. Your medical professional can then create orthotics for your skates. In any case, the size of the skates must be the correct one for the length of the feet and not one size more.
No, because this works against the design of the boot reducing your performance and control. It can even lead to injury as well as damaging your boot. For more adherence, ask the Edea Authorized Dealer to shape the tendon area, you will feel more wrapped around the ankle.
The Edea Lace Straps are specially designed with an elastic middle to further prevent laces slipping while allowing good knee bend. Simply attach across the middle hooks and tuck your laces away. No more unsightly taping and restricting movement but more support!
No. We would simply contact your local dealer which would just take more time. Your local dealer can solve 99% of problems and we are set up to work through these local experts, so contact them first.
Firstly it is always advisable to buy the right size. Thick socks or 2 pairs of cotton socks (a material that stretches and moves freely) can move around your foot, creating blisters or rubbing and less
security. For skaters whose feet are still growing, Edea recommends no more than 10mm growth room. This means by the middle of the season the skates will fit perfectly. For the early part of the season, a thicker insole can help but will reduce feel and performance slightly.
Yes, it is possible to replace the frame with a different model. Your technician knows how to fill the empty holes and make new one to fix the new frame.
We have specific models for beginners: Tempo, Wave, Motivo and Overture. Check with your dealerwhich model is best for your needs. If you plan to take lessons, the coach will also be able to advise. The choice of blade is personal but some of the most common blade and boots combination we see for beginners are: Tempo set Balancé, Wave set Rotation, Motivo set Rotation, Overture set Charme
We have a specific model for beginners, the Esordio.
It’s comfortable, ventilated and includes all the Edea tech features.
The choice of wheels depends on the floor, so contact your Authorized Edea Dealer to get the complete set suitable for your needs.
If you're still learning double jumps, e.g. you land 2T, 2S but still struggling with all others, the Ritmo model is still for you.
If you already have all solid double jumps, learning 2A, you can upgrade to Fly. Do not be fooled by its comfort, the padding hides a support structure suitable only for that level.
NOTE: This is a general guideline and other factors such as weight, height and skating style should be considered. Always ask your coach before changing boot model!

Speak to your Edea dealer who will be able to offer expert advice and make any adjustment on the boot if required. A simple adjustment to the boot avoids discomfort and lack of training.
Sizing and fit are constant across the range, although different padding may give a slightly different feel. This means you can simply swap models, but we recommend using yourAuthorized Edea dealer to check size and fit for each new pair. Attention ! If you change the range of collections, going from ice to roller or vice versa, check again, there may be small differences.
Laces loose elasticity and need to be replaced regularly.
Check if you are using the Edea lacing method as this increases hold as laces self lock at intersection.
Finally, theLace straps can help you to keep laces in order and have additional help.
Use Edea laces as they are designed for skating, with the right balance of strength and elasticity and the necessary length. Check our suggestion on proper lacing.
Speak to your Authorized Edea dealer who will be able to offer expert advice and make any adjustment if required. The causes can be various, from a too tight fit, some pressure points or incorrect arch support.

Numbers only relate to size, fitting is more complicated than that, which is why we recommend going to your nearest Edea dealer. If you can’t get to a store, dealers can help with remote sizing, see here for details.
Not necessarily. Boot and blade have different sizes and hardly ever match. The most important thing is that the pressure points are always aligned. Learn more here.

YES, THEY MUST USE ONLY THE EDEA SCREWS THAT ARE SUPPLIED WITH YOUR BOOTS!
This is because our screws are specifically designed to be compatible with our thinner soles and they are engineered to increase the hold. The tips have also been flattened to remove the risk of discomfort.

This may indicate your boots are too big, so check again the size with your dealer.
If you haven’t stored regularly with an upright tongue, this will cause issues. To remedy this store with an upright tongue. If you over-correct to the other side this will help straighten the tongue.
Using the lace tabs and lacing correctly will prevent slipping.
It depends on the surface where you train and on your power. Try both and choose the one that holds your take off.
The yellow jumps band is softer for practising single jumps in a not so slippery floor.
The red jump band is stronger for practising double/triple jumps in a smoother floor.

Apart from underperformance and less fun, other more serious consequences could happen. From boots being damaged, blisters and pain, through to more serious long term injuries.
The thinner and snugger one.
We recommend thin soft microfiber Edea socks, specifically designed for skating. Non-crease material to reduce chafing and seamless toe section to reduce rubbing and other annoying sensations during jumps. They are available in sizes S and M in Ivory, M and L in Black.
Both models were designed for triple / quadruple jumps, but have slightly different features.
Ice Fly has a new look, a quick-drying inner lining, is more padded and with a more flexible structure and tongue. It’s on the feet of those who want to bend more.
Concertohas a traditional look with a snug structure and a more sustained tongue. It is the favorite of those who want to 'feel the shoe' and already have deep bends and need more support.
The E-Spinner is created for new evolutions, with a new profile with the rotation point moved forward, mimic the blade for a more realistic feel.
The rocker is taller for deep edges and you can also practise jumps.
2 take off jump bands are included to prevent slipping when you do it.
The traditional Spinner has a flatter and more 'stable' rocker.
Both models have been designed for triple / quadruple jumps level, but have slightly different support and features.
Piano has integrated the anti-shock system and a more compact structure.
It’s on the feet of the most powerful skaters.
Ice Fly has the 'Dual sole' to dampen the vibrations of the ice and a more flexible structure. It’s on the feet of those who want to bend more.
The difference is in their design and purpose.
The Lace Straps have been designed to be used while skating, it keeps your laces tidy and gives support. The Lace Tab is designed to keep the boot in shape off the ice. These are supplied with every pair of boots
Roller boots have perforated sole and upper to allow ventilation. When you're on the ice, this would allow water and moisture to go inside the boots and freeze your toes, so we do not recommend it;
Roller boots have flat sole to match the frame that is also flat, while blade plates have inclined front and so ice skating boots;
Comparing roller and ice boots made for the same level (single, double, triple jumps), ice skating boots are stiffer. This is because to control a 4mm large blade you need a stiff boot while to control a 10cm large roller frame, a softer boot is enough, otherwise you won't lean on edges.
Roller boots have a different fitting, wider than ice.
Due to the different volume and inclination fit change, please check carefully your size.
Both models are for beginners.
Tempo has a traditional look, white smooth upper, brown sole and heel. It is designed for the skater learning basic figures up to single jumps.
Wave has a captivating look, with 3D white upper, white heel and golden outsole. It reminds the boot of champions! It is a slightly more structured boot designed for first jump’s learners that want to stay in style!
Both models feature the 4-hook lacing system for easy and quick lacing.
There is no difference. Sizes and widths of white version are the same of black’s ones. Therefore, if the black version is not available in the store, you can easily try on the white one.

Edea use a network of Authorized Dealers so our skaters can get the personal service that they deserve. High-end technical sport equipment needs to be sized and fitted by experts who know skating.
The pre and post sale assistance in person cannot be replaced by online advice and shipping service. For this reason we recommend visiting the store and not simply choosing online. Skates are your technical equipment, the performance depends also on it and requires professional assistance, don't underestimate it!
Use the spinner on a hard, smooth but not slippery surface and be sure to have enough space around you when you try spins in various positions or jumps.
That’s a personal choice but in our collection we have many different skating bags for all needs!
There are skaters that prefer smaller bags like our shaped bags available in several models and colors, or Cube Bags, or backpack like the Libra Bag or theTrolley backpack, or Super Trolley for those skaters who need to carry a lot of equipment.
Edea provide a suggested blade size chart but this is only a guide. Ask your coach if he/she has preferences.
If you’re currently using another brand, note that you may need a shorter blade than the one you’re using now. We have optimized the shape of the boot and the pressure points to give better performance. Learn more here

90% of skaters use C width but narrower and wider options are available in our ice and inline collection. The key in skates is the heel pocket which holds the heel in place.
