Hi Everyone,

Breaking in brand new figure skates can be a very frustrating and painful process. There were points in my skating career where I hated getting new skates because that meant getting blisters, losing my jumps, and having a hard time finding my center for spins. Thus, I'm super eager to share my Top 8 tips on how to best break in your brand new skates to make it a fun and enjoyable process!

1. Massage Feet
2. Lace to the Top
3. Adjust Laces
4. Edge Excercises
5. Readjust Skates
6. Check Landings + Go Thru Jumps
7. Find Center + Time to Spin
8. Have Fun!

I hope you found this video helpful! Let me know in the comment section below what skates you're wearing. Do you find breaking in new figure skates a fun or tedious process?
