It incorporates technology from Edea’s top-tier models, such as the Piano and Ice Fly, but is tailored for intermediate skaters. The innovative honeycomb footbed reduces weight while increasing strength, enabling quicker transitions and smoother skating. The thinner, waterproof sole lowers the center of gravity, improving balance and sensitivity for precise edge work. Inspired by Roman aqueducts, the extended heel arch distributes forces evenly, enhancing control and connection with the ice. Edea’s dual sole technology minimizes ice vibrations, ensuring a polished glide that elevates performance. The lightweight construction, achieved through materials like specially coated leather and SH microfiber, reduces fatigue, allowing skaters to train longer and more effectively. Comfort and Fit Comfort is at the core of the Chorus’s design. High-density memory foam molds to the skater’s foot, providing a personalized fit that minimizes pressure points and enhances comfort during extended training sessions. The soft collar increases the range of motion, supporting flexibility for jumps and spins, while the ergonomic shape aligns with the foot’s natural contours for a snug, pressure-free fit. The perforated SH microfiber lining, one-third the weight of leather yet equally strong, promotes airflow and quick drying, maintaining hygiene and freshness even during intense sessions. The boot’s thermoformable tri-layer construction allows skilled technicians to custom-shape it using Edea’s Instant Custom Fit process, ensuring an optimal fit tailored to each skater’s unique foot shape. Break-In and Durability The Edea Chorus features a shorter break-in period compared to traditional skating boots, thanks to its memory foam and advanced materials. Skaters can quickly adapt to the boot, minimizing downtime and discomfort. The specially coated leather outer, meeting European standards (EN ISO 20345), is waterproof, hygienic, and easy to clean, ensuring durability under regular use. The SH microfiber lining and fiberglass-nylon insole add strength and stability, making the boot resilient for skaters training 10–15 hours weekly. The robust construction ensures long-lasting performance, even as skaters push their skills to new levels. Lacing System The Chorus is equipped with an advanced lacing system featuring galvanized carbon steel hooks that are lowered, lengthened, and repositioned for optimal efficiency. This design enhances hold, wrapping the ankles securely while allowing an increased range of motion for dynamic movements. The strategic hook placement simplifies lacing, ensuring a snug fit that supports the foot and minimizes movement. Edea recommends lacing looser across the toes, tighter across the instep, and looser on the upper hooks to balance support and flexibility, optimizing performance for double jumps and intricate footwork. Suitability and Training Level With a support index of 70, the Edea Chorus is ideal for intermediate skaters working on double jumps and competing at regional or national levels. It is particularly suited for skaters training 10–15 hours per week, offering sufficient support for their skill level without the excessive stiffness of advanced boots like the Concerto or Ice Fly. The Chorus serves as a natural progression from beginner boots like the Overture (support index 55), providing the additional support needed for more demanding elements. Its flexibility also adds grace to spins and footwork, making it suitable for freestyle, synchronized skating, or recreational skaters advancing their skills.Book an appointment or see if another model suits you.
