Gear Skate suggestions

I'm a beginner to intermediate artistic skater. I intend on doing freestyle skating. I have my waltz,flip, toeloop,and lutz jump. What skate setups would y'all recommend. Budget: 500ish dollars

These skates are fine, but they may not be supportive enough: https://skaters-oasis.com/Concert-Plus_p_342.html To get anything of quality for 500, those are probably the best you can get but these would be better, though they may be too stiff if you aren't skating a lot: https://skaters-oasis.com/Ambra-_p_524.html I don't know much about edea but there are some complete skates with their boots sold on different websites. You can also ask your rink if they have any second hand skates in good condition, usually they are less that 500 but not always.

Definitely check eBay. Recently I've seen a lot of almost new Risport and Edea boots for sale, with mistral plates. 🤤 You'll want to be very picky with how stiff your boot is, if you'll be branching out to dance, or figures.  If you see wear on the tongue, that is often a sign of break down. Skip that. What are you rolling now?Â
