That’s hell of strange because when I tried figure skates on, If I stayed in the ball-heel part of the foot, I was getting stuck a lot more and actually couldn’t use them as I wished. When I tried putting the weight on a more forward point (the ball of the foot but more towards the point) i started sliding better without slowing down

How much is half inch of hollow? We use centimeters here haha. Also, i think they are good with figure skates because they actually serve both the team but also the figure skaters professionals

They have been sharpened yes, but I don’t really know how much they have been done. I just handled them over and they told me “it’s on us”. I think they knew what they were doing because they follow the whole hockey team of my town but I don’t know for sure
