i played ice hockey for a year and roller hockey for years, i had that propblem and a quick fix to that is go get some hockey tape and just tape it, if the whole shoelace thing doesnt work out, honestly just tape it, its easy and cheap

Don't lace around your ankle.
Try buying a nice new pair of laces, for a start. Then lace up tightening each time as you go, and overtighten at your ankle. Just before you tie your bow - again, do *not* lace around your ankle, it's a rookie move and it will make your problem worse - really haul in hard. Then tie your bow, and tie a double knot.
With a good new pair of laces and the double knot, it should be more than sufficient.
If you're a new skater, it's not your laces. It's your foot and ankle.
It takes time to build strength and get steady on your skates. I wear my skates pretty loose, particularly at the top. I like having a lot of room to bend my ankles, and don't like my skate getting in the way of my mobility.
I'm steady on my skates, even when I lace loosely. It comes from practice. Keep working at it!

I badly sprained my ankle about 3 weeks ago. I was in a hurry going down the stairs, lost my balance and landed on a bad side of my left foot, causing my left ankle to be stretched going on the inside. The first 48 hours were excruciating and the pain was un-believable. I've never had a serious ankle injury before.
So I immediately treated it using the RICE method. The following day, the bruising and swelling were so horrible. I found out that I got a second degree sprain and immediately panicked after that. I had a football game on that week and it been looking forward to it because I've been training for rt. I had teammates that had similar injuries and it took them months to fully recover, some of them stopped playing altogether. So I kinda had a short-term depression because I can't imagine myself not being able to run and play sports anymore.
Because I was so desperate to recover again, I contacted a lot of people that I know who do sports and asked them if they had similar injuries. One friend of mine, from the boy's football team in my university, told me about H.E.M. Ankle Rehab. I got a copy 4 days after I got injured. I immediately read and followed what was instructed and felt improvement on the first day. I was able to walk a bit, but I was in pain.
A couple of days after that, the swelling and bruising were subsid-ing significantly and on the fourth day, I was walking comfortably again. Although I've had felt a bit of stiffness, I continued doing what was instructed. My sister was surprised that I have recovered this fast. I told her about this book and was shocked on how effective the procedures were. I'm just so happy that this book was shared to me and how effective it is.
Heal your ankle fully & fast?

it sounds as once you've a pair of skates that are too tremendous to commence with. in case you truly want to, you are able to take a roll of duct tape and wrap it round your ankle elements some situations, yet that isn't provide you the same help as in case you've been utilising the fantastic length skates. you are able to also take yet another pair of laces and wrap those around the ankle help section and tie them very tightly.
