Hi! Due to remodeling, my rink hasn't been open for a few weeks, so I haven't been able to go to a lesson with my new skates until tonight! They're Mystiques and I absolutely love them, except for one problem. About halfway in (30 mins), I started to have some cramping in my feet and maybe even a sensation that could be associated with them falling asleep? It wasn't too bad though, just more of a cramp. Once I got my skates of though, the pain was tremendous. I could barely move my right foot it was cramped so bad, it subsided quickly (15 min or so) but left me terrified I had tied my skates wrong or was fitted wrong. Is this all just because my feet are adjusting to new, MUCH stiffer skates compared to the absolutely crappy rentals? I read somewhere that you should only skate in 30 minute increments when breaking in skates, could this also be a contributing factor? I'm new to all of this so any help would be amazing!
Also, when is a good time to start private lessons? I'm only just in Basic 2, but a girl next to me (younger than I by a quite a bit) said that she started privates with our coach. Should I wait until I get to the higher levels, or start now? I'm fifteen.
Thanks again!
