I’ve had two practices under my belt with the new custom skates and so far they feel great. I’m having a little trouble finding the top of my frames, but I think that will come in time. Also, having a little numbness in the toes after awhile, but again I think when they break in that should disappear.
Of more concern was the fact that today I felt like I was losing my edge in every corner - like it was sliding out. Which of course led to a fall and some fun knee abrasions.
As I wrote in the first part of this series, I got molded for custom Hyper Sincro boots a little over a month ago. I have been impatiently waiting for the boots to arrive since I have been skating on borrowed skates that don’t fit me.
The boots finally arrived on December 20th - and of course I couldn’t use them because we were going to the Nutcracker that night. Good thing I paid for overnight shipping! I will actually skate on them for the first time this Thursday, and I cannot wait to try them out.

After missing two weeks worth of practice I finally got back to a coached session yesterday (Sunday). I’m still skating in borrowed skates that are both too big and too narrow, but I have no choice right now. That is partly why I have not skated much, plus I was giving my sore left ankle time to heal.
