Title: My left skate
Post by: sk8great on December 31, 2012, 11:59:46 AM
So on my left skate, after I get off the ice, the tongue leans to the left. This happens when I lace my skate up until the 3rd hook. But, when I lace the skate all the way up, it wont do this at all. This doesn't really happen on my right skate. Why is that? Do you think my left foot is pronated? Are there any inserts? Keep in mind that I got fitted at my pro shop (rainbo sports) before I bought these skates. They fit really well on me.

You've got the Marquis, right?
Just position the tongue correctly when you put them on, make sure it is centered and snug. Then tighten your skates up. A properly tightened skate won;t have the tongue shifting around. get 'em tight!
I usually give a firm heel thump or two when I first put my skates on to make sure my heel is firmly back where it belongs, then tighten from there. TIGHT  8)
