Boot & Blade Combinations

For skaters stepping onto the ice for the very first time or just starting group lessons, the EDEA Wave (stiffness 40) or EDEA Motivo (stiffness 45) are the ideal starting points. These lightweight boots provide enough support for basic skating, crossovers, and the very first jump attempts without being overly stiff. Pair with an MK Galaxy or similar entry-level blade for a stable, forgiving setup that builds confidence on the ice.

The Overture provides structured support for beginning freestylers. The MK Galaxy is the natural entry-level match with its stable parallel profile. Skaters progressing quickly may start with the MK Professional, which will carry them further before requiring an upgrade.

The Chorus handles double-jump impact forces while its soft collar preserves ankle mobility. The MK Professional and Coronation Ace are both proven intermediate parallel blades with 7-foot rockers, forged from carbon steel heat-treated to HRC 58. The Coronation Ace is the most popular freestyle blade in the world.

This is where blade geometry starts to matter. The Phantom and Gold Star are both tapered, side-honed, 7-foot rocker blades, but the Gold Star's complex secondary radius provides superior spin performance. The Gold Seal offers an 8-foot rocker with high stanchions for deeper edges. The Concerto offers a classic leather look; the lighter Technomicro Ice Fly provides a weight advantage that matters in the air.

At the elite level, every gram matters. The Piano is the only EDEA boot with the integrated Anti-Shock system, designed for competitive triple and quad landings. Pairing it with a REV or Phoenix blade maximizes weight savings. The Gold Star REV preserves championship spin performance in a carbon fiber chassis. The Pattern 99 REV offers parallel rigidity with an 8-foot rocker. The Phoenix 99 and Phoenix Gold are the lightest options, at 46% below traditional blade weight.

The definitive dance combination. The Flamenco Ice's low-cut padded cuff allows graceful toe points and extreme ankle articulation, while its Dual Sole technology produces the smooth, quiet glide essential for dance. The MK Dance's slimline profile enables the rapid edge transitions and precise footwork dancers need. At the 2018 Olympics, 85% of ice dance competitors skated on the MK Dance.
