Right foot leaning inwards

[Geoselenic]

what the title says. i have a mirror at my rink and whenever i am skating and i see myself in the mirror, my right foot is always leaning inward. i’ve retightened my skates but it still doesn’t help. any other ideas or advice? i’ve asked my coach too and she said to just tie my skaters tighter so my ankles stay straight.

Do you mean the blade is straight but your boot is bending inwards at the ankle? In which case, your boots may not be stiff enough for your size and skill level. Give us your height and weight and age stats and what your technical level is, and tell us what boots you're wearing, and we could suggest stronger boots if that's what the problem is.

Or do you mean your whole body leans in when you glide on the right foot and you curve to the left on an inside edge? In which case you may be pronating more on that one foot and need your blade moved a bit to compensate.

@Geoselenic . Yes, before we proceed any further, please clarify what you mean.
