I was so excited to get home from work today to have my new sure grip skates oxfords waiting for me. I bought two sizes 8 and 9. The8 was right length but I had so much room in ball of foot and I had the ankle portion laced to touching and still loose.. I am a new skater who used to skate in the 80s. I m looking for a women’s narrow skate but not cheapies but not a thousand dollars either. Please help.

I saw a post earlier and there were a couple people mentioning the importance of “off-skate” routines- I like to work on eagle in both directions against a wall to help the flexies and stretch- what are some things y’all are doing off-skate that is proving helpful when you get back in skates?!

I’m struggling with One Leg Balance. May someone please give me some advice.

Peace family. It’s been quite a while. Back in August, I got injured while learning manuals and minimal spins. I tore two ligaments in my knee and sprained my meniscus. I thought I’d never skate again. The doctors kept telling that skating shouldn’t be my focus. Finally, 6 months later, my doctor/PT said it’s time! She wanted my to go skate but take it truly easy. I was overly excited.. I finally got the green light. So I’ve been tryna go these last few weeks and I’m just so in motivated and discouraged. My legs are weak and everything I had learned and the strength I built seems gone. I’m literally staring from the beginning. I want to just hang the skates up. I love skating but I’m just not feeling confident and I’m so nervous!! I know that was a lot but I felt comfortable sharing here.
