Skate fitting

[dylanyn]

Hi! I just got my first ice skates about 1 month ago. I actually got them from amazon cos the nearest pro shop is about 1 hour away from me ( I had no choice cos my parents wouldnt drive me there). After skating on them for 1 month, i kinda feel like they dont fit me well and i struggled to do spins and other elements (even though my jumps are really good). I just wondered if i should get a smaller size and what size should i get? Here are some pictures of the skate insoles if they can help (my skates are size 7)

Welcome! What brand are your skates? What is your age, height, and weight? What shape is your foot, according to the slant of your toes (there are charts on Google). How long have you been skating (i.e., are you a beginner, or have you been skating on rented skates and only just now bought your own)? Are you taking lessons? Where do you live? There may be a real skate shop closer to you that you could get to by public transportation. I'm afraid that buying your first skates from Amazon without the input of a professional fitter is not really the safe way to do it, especially if you bought your street shoe size. (Your skates should be a smaller size than your shoes, since they need to fit very snugly with no wiggle room.)

Edit: OK, I finally got one of your images to work and I see you've got Jackson Aspires. Now we need all the information about you and your feet, to know if those were the right brand and model for you.
We'd like to help you, but we need to know more about you, particularly about your feet. Good luck!

Please, for your own safety and to prevent serious injury, don't try jumping or other advanced elements until we've sorted out which skates are right for your feet and are strong enough for your size .
