Fitting & tying Skates

A well-fitted skate should feel secure and supportive, almost like an extension of your foot. When you first put them on, your toes should gently touch the front of the boot, but as you bend your knees into a skating stance, they should ease back slightly so you’re not cramped. Your heel should stay locked in place without lifting, since that stability is what gives you control and comfort on the ice. Lacing is just as important as the fit itself. Start with the lower part of the skate snug but not overly tight, then pull firmly through the ankle area to keep your heel secure. At the top, you can adjust based on your preference: tighter for extra support, or a little looser if you want more ankle flex. The goal is always the same: skates that feel like they belong to you, offering confidence, comfort, and control every time you step onto the ice.
