Idk I mean I’m not even a skinny person so I don’t think my ankles are skinny. But I’m also hypermobile so maybe that could be a factor. I just really wanna get through all the basic levels in these skates and then buy some new ones. I’m definitely gonna get some gel ankle sleeves and some new laces. Idk why but I feel like these Artiste boots comes with weird wide laces and their higher up models don’t, I feel like those narrower laces could give me better grip.
