Very true, and thank you Trayo.

I was very impressed with myself yesterday, I'm usually the try everything once then give up kind of person lol.

My skates had a bit of an accident with our car so new boots are a must lmao.

Will send Everglides my measurements if they get back to me and see what they recommend...I watch my new friend trip every week over her toe picks so the thought is very daunting.

Is 20cm around considered narrow?

hi, i have just returned to skating, have very narrow feet. risport seem to be good fit, the only problem is they dont come in normal shoe sizes. you may have to go for 1/2 size smaller than normal. good luck .

Congrats on passing Bex! It's a good feeling, eh? I'm in group lessons at Cov on the same night, so if you ever want to say hi just let me know.

Hey, thanks guys and sure feel free to say hi, I guess from now on I'll be the red head tripping over her ice picks lol!


My coach emailed me and recommended the Jacksons, haven't heard back from Everglides yet.

Been emailing Everglides for most of the day, I think he must think I'm a little simple bless him but I'm just so very confused when it comes to sizing.

Anyway, think I've decided on the Risport RF4's, does anyone have an opinion on these being any good for a beginner?

i have rf3's which are a tiny bit harder and they are really good. i know quite a few adults that start with rf4's i started a little lower but i am only 4'11" and still in childrent size cloths do dont need as much support. I would say rf4's are a fab choice as i am really happy with risport no matter what people say. jacksons would be too wide if you have narrow feet like the coach said
