it starts off tight but then it gets loose and it makes me skate bad. I tie my laces around my ankle for support but it still loosens up. any suggestions?

get wax laces if you don't have them. I started using them and it's incredible how much tighter it makes them.If that doesn't work those skates suck. Get new ones. I'm pretty sure there's some tool that helps you tie them tighter too. I hope this helps.

Are your skates the right size? Get waxed laces and never tie your laces around your ankles. Put tape around top of your skate boot and ankle for support.

It sounds as if you might have a pair of skates that are too large to begin with. If you really need to, you can take a roll of duct tape and wrap it around your ankle areas a few times, but that won't give you the same support as if you were using the correct size skates.
You can also take another pair of laces and wrap those around the ankle support area and tie them very tightly.

Unfortunately it's part of skating. Skates are supposed to be a bit flexible to prevent injury to the ankle. The best thing to do is ankle exercises to stregthen your ankles and also flex exercises to make them more flexible. Or just keep skating and your ankles will take care of themselves.

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?

What form skate do you've? in the experience that your ankle won't be able to fill the unfavorable area in the boot, you are able to favor a boot with a much wider lace trend. Assuming you've offered the right length and warm temperature molded the boots to in tremendous condition more suitable securely, you are able to favor to attempt clinical foam to fill out the hollow. a variety of of gamers use it to help with lace bite, notwithstanding it may also help with a snugger in tremendous condition. do not bypass with thicker or double sock recommendations. that is in trouble-free words going to extend the prospect of blistering and could no longer fairly help you which includes your project in any respect.

buy waxed laces. they take a little more effort to tie, but they stay tight.
personally, i like looser laces. i dont lace up the top hole (bobby orr actually didn't lace up the top 3 holes) because it makes it easier to keep my knees bent so i can skate faster. but if you like them tight, thats fine. make sure you bend your knees a lot when you sprint (on skates, duh) so you get more power. you're supposed to have your knees at an almost 90 degree angle when youre going fast

I personally like to get some silver duct tape and wrap it around a few times. It can be hell to get it off, but its worth it.
But you could always get skates that properly fit you, too.
