I'm still trying to find a pair of skates and must get them online because of lack of availability in my area, as I mentioned in my previous post. Below are some pictures of the skates I had when I was younger (Sonjia Bronze), which apparently aren't made anymore. Though I know you can't really tell how firm they are by looking at the photos (they are pretty stiff...they only look "bent" because they were worn quite a bit), I was hoping you could help point me in the direction of a skate that might be similiar... Thanks in advance for the help!

Maybe one of the lower-end Jacksons? I'd say they look a bit stiffer than the Glacier, but I'm not sure what the next boot up would be.

A better thing for us to go on would probably what level of skating you are and what elements you can do. Also, what shape is your foot- wide, narrow, average, duck (narrow heel/wide ball)?
