l recently bought recreational ice skates online because my local shop did not have the ice skates that l wanted. When l tried them on, it felt like it was too tight because l could barely wiggle my toes. Is it supposed to be that way or did l just get the wrong size?
l recently bought recreational ice skates (not the leather ones) online because my local shop did not have the ice skates that l wanted. When l tried them on, it felt like it was too tight because l could barely wiggle my toes. Is it supposed to be that way or did l just get the wrong size?
btw.. the ice skates that l bought are not leather

They are supposed to be really tight. They should generally be two sizes smaller than ur actual shoe size. it might hurt at first, and u might even get blisters, but sooner or later you will break them in

they should be tight enough so ur foot doesnt slip & u cant move ur heels, but u should be able to wiggle ur toes.

keep in mind that new skates take some time to break in, & u may get blisters or rubbing because the leather is adjusting to the shape of ur foot. if one particular part keeps rubbing then they may need to be stretched (go to a pro shop for this).

if u truely feel u have the wrong size talk to the company or take them down to the local pro shop if there is one. its always better to get boots fitted for u as the sizes can differ quite a lot to normal shoe sizes.

good luck

They are suppose to be tight enough so that you have support from the skates, and your feet do not slide around, but you should have enough room to slightly move your toes, so your circulation is not cut off. My best suggestion would be to go to your local pro shop to be sized for sure (remember every brand of skate runs differently size wise) so that you can get a pair that properly fits because skates that do not fit right can cause more problems than ones that do fit. Good luck!

u gotta have some room my skates are they hockey skates cuz if they are than just make sure your not cutting off circulation and enough support for ur ankle and stuff
