Breaking in new ice skates? They are Jacksons?

I just got new Jackson Artiste ice skates yesterday, these are my first pair of ice skates because I just started lessons 2 weeks ago. They are very snug, i haven%26#039;t tried them at the ice rink yet but I%26#039;m afraid when I go, I will have a hard time skating with them because they haven%26#039;t been broken in. What do you think?


I%26#039;m wearing them in the house with the blade guards on right now, is that bad?


Thank you! :)

That%26#039;s exactly what I do too when I get new skates! Make sure you bend your ankles and knees alot to while wearing them around the house!


I wouldn%26#039;t reccomend the wet sock thing... how bad do you want the inside of your skates wet??
Reply:no thats very good that you are wearing them around the house! that is the first step. Also, have you gotten them heat fitted? It molds them to your feet so it is easier to skate and they are more comfortable. I used to have the same skates you have now but now I use ri sport because I am a higher level and because they werent right for my feet. You just need to bend a lot and wear callus pads incase you get blisters. You can buy these from any drugstore. Something that might also help is to put hot wet socks on and put on your skates. Hope I helped!
Reply:Put a pair of weat socks on and walk around in them everyday this will help break the leather in.
Reply:no thas good! and great choice, alot of my friends have the same skate...it will hurt at first but thats completely normal, all skates hurt at first. just do alot of stroking, and if u can, spins, they help break in a new skate.
