I've had my Risport RF4's for months now so I know they're broken in fully, as I've been skating 8-10 hours a week during the summer. Anyway since I bought them they have always been slightly tight around the toes - especially on my left foot, but not tight enough to hurt or cut off circulation, so I've never had any real problems with them.
For the past few weeks or so I had been working on my toe jumps (I worked hard to finally land a clean lutz) I had no problem with my skates then at all.
Anyway it was the other day I was skating and after about half and hour of skating my little toe in my left foot was killing me, when I went to take off my skate it was all red and swollen. I had no idea why, I hadn't done any jumps that day as I was working on spins, so I don't know how it could have happened.
I wentto the rink the next day hoping my toe had healed slightly overnight, but when I put my left skate on my toe was in agony, the side of my skate pushing against it was putting pressure on it. I went yesterday and it was worse, it was agony to do any toe jumps and doing backspins were painful too as I'm spinning on he edge nearest my little toe.
A woman at the rink said it's most likely my skates causing the problem, do you think this is the result of skating long hours in skates that are too narrow for your feet - my feet are oddly shaped, they are only slightly narrow compared to jacksons which are WAY too wide for my feet
I'm goig to talk to coach about this tomorrow, but I'd like your advice as it's startin to affect my skating a bit
(I'm a CW skater so my picking foot is my left foot and backspin foot is my left foot - the one causing me pain)
