First post here... O:
Hi everyone,
Before lockdown I was considering getting new skates because I was beginning to feel that my current ones (Graf 500) weren't giving me enough ankle support, and because while they are okay for me fit-wise I think I could find better.
I was working at about Skate UK Bronze level (though I'm sure I might need to backtrack a little after such a long break, I hope to be back up to standard soon enough!!!) and have every intention of progressing as far as I can!
My question is: After this long break, do you think it would be a better idea to keep using my current skates for now, so that my body can adjust to skating the way it remembers, without dealing with the extra level of new skates? Or do you think I should try to get new skates before the rink opens again, so that I'm not having to adjust to the ice and then re-adjust to new skates soon after?
Hope that makes sense! Thanks in advance for any advice; I still feel like I don't know all that much about skates despite what research I've tried to do...
(Also, not the point of this thread, but if you happen to have recommendations for my kind of level, I'd be happy to hear them too.)
