Hi,
I am skating in Jackson freestyles in the size 5c, I've had them for a little under 7 months and I had no problem with them until about a month ago.
My heels seem to be slipping (it slips and rubs A LOT more on my right foot than my left) when I do certain jumps and the top of my right skate is rubbing my calf about 2 inches above my ankle causing it to break through the skin, leaving scabs.
Is there anything I can do to stop the slipping and rubbing until these boots break down or until I can afford new skates? (I have tried different lacing techniques and Ive put things in-between the tongue of the boot and my foot but neither of these have worked)
Should I look into getting split-width skates or is it possible that the padding has just worn down?
The pro-shop I go to is being renovated so it is being closed for a week or two but I will be making a trip down there to talk to the fitter once they re-open.
Thanks!
