How come my feet lean in whenever I ice skate?

Question

How come whenever I ice skate my feet always lean in towards the middle? When I try to skate with my feet flat, it feels like I'm standing on the outside sides of my feet. Is there anyway to help me with this and does anyone else have this problem?

Answer 1

Try tying your skates tighter!

Answer 2

You should try to improve your balance a bit, I guess, but it really doesn't matter, just like off ice, I can't really land a lutz or flip, even though doing it on ice is easier, so you gotta get the feel of ice to see. Rollerblading is a little like skating, but not too much because stroking a little different. If you really got into skating, the prices are steep- at least $150 for a pair of good or decent figure skates, about 50-150 dollars for competition entry fee, private lesson, half hour are 30 to forty five dollars, 10-20 $ for ice time, $60-$80 for a dress, the event in a performance or competition is abou t30 $ each, and buy a 80 dollar club jacket, join a club- $110 I ordered my skates from online, but check out a sports, dance or skating store for good skates. Jackson isn't bad. Probably Hobert Arena, Troy 255 Adams Street, couldn't find any closer. How good you are depends not only on talent, but hard work- train about every day, and a lot of money. If you like it, pursue it. Good luck, and remember, everyone falls.

there are many explanation for your problem:

1. the blades are not in the light place. you should go to a skate shop and have this checked out. when you have them done they will find your center of gravity and use this to reposition the skate blades

2. your skates are not tight enough. if you can but a finger between the laces and the boot they are to loose. make sure that you tighten them or you could brake your ankle

3.your skates are the wrong size. if your feet slide when you skate they are way to big. if you land a jump and your big toe hits the toe of the skate they are obvousle small.

4. . if you have wider feet you should have jacsons, but if you have narower feet you should go with Ridells. if you have your skates fitted they will tell you what skate you should have. there are many types of skates and some just need to be stretched

5. they may not have enough support. this can also be fixed by a skateshop

you should get the skate checked by a profesional to make sure that they are right for you

Answer 4

If you are using rental skates try a size smaller and tighten up the laces from the middle of the foot to the top of your ankle. You ankles are not strong and you need the extra support. Also make sure to keep your head up and look forward and not down at your feet. This should help you balance better as well.

Answer 5

rental skates like always lean in but if they are not rentals then maybe you are not tying them right. They might be too big or if you have had them like a really long time you might just need a new pair

Answer 6

if they are rental skates...
1. their too big, get a smaller size
2. tie them up tighter, u shud only be able to fit 1 - 2 fingers behind ur skate.
3. change the skate, it could just be the skate.

if their ur own skates, try lacing the laces tighter, if not, the skates are too big 4 u.

Answer 7

U can get smaller skates!! ( beginners don't understand the sizing issue )

Answer 8

you need just a size smaller. i have done that before. i winded up tripping over my skates.. so id switch them out soon

Answer 9

if your using rental skates, thats probably why. its nothing to do with the size or anything, rental skates suck!

Answer 10

it means that you should get a smaller fit or tie your laces tighter,.
sorry about spelling lol
good luck
