Hi all,
I am a beginner adult skater (28). I've been taking lessons for a month and I'm currently at about adult 1.5-ish level - working on my backwards skating.
I've been skating in soft skates (which were comfortable on my foot but I don't think were supportive enough) and I just bought a pair of Jackson Excel. I wore them at home (with guards) and my feet are in a lot of pain after that.
I took pictures (attached - and I'm sorry for foot images!) for reference - the biggest pain is definitely my small toe but there are other red areas.
I know there is always a break in period for new skates but are there any tips/suggestions on what can I do to help me avoid any skin-breaking blisters? I can already tell that my small toe will be in agony.
All suggestions and tips are appreciated!
