Hello! I got my own skates quite a while ago and for the first few months they were great! But recently i’ve been having more and more problems and uncovered a lot while trying to fix them. preface: I will be going to my fitter to get help esp since they do free adjustments, but i just wanted some more advice!
First, about me. I have flat foot (that’s right, just one LOL) and semi wide feet. My right foot seems to be cursed in that it handles all the pain, it’s flat, and has an accessory navicular bone that swells up nearly every time i skate, and hurts enough that I have to sit out for a bit, which is why I wanted to fix it!
My skate fitter put me in slightly larger skates because of my wide feet, and now my foot is able to move around a bit in the skate and my heel isn’t locked in very well! I cannot afford getting new skates so soon, so I’m trying to make my Jackson Elles work until i get new ones
I tie it tight at the ankle but if I jump enough, my foot loosens the laces and starts moving. That causes it’s own problems..
I have to scrunch my toes to keep my foot down, which absolutely devastates my arches. And the moving rubs my skates against the accessory bone and put it a bit too far forward, and it swells up and hurts.
I’ve gotten super feet yellows to address the flat foot and also hopefully help with foot locking/moving around, I’ll try that this weekend. I’m also going to get the hotspots for my accessory bone punched out and if possible, have my heel pinched so it locks easier! Anyone have any other experience or advice? I would love to skate painfree again, it’s been a while![Sad but relieved face :disappointed_relieved: 😥](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f625.png)
