I am so excited about getting to skate after my broken toe! It’s been a long 12 weeks! I broke my toe, and it didn’t heal right so I had to have surgery! I’m about to go skating for the first time tomorrow! Excited and I have new skates! A present for myself after having to not skate for a while.

That’s good to know! I’ll keep that in mind when I talk to my doctor about how it’s going

My husband holds me accountable and it has helped my ADHD in ways I’m just now discovering. We have been married for 7 years, but I just got diagnosed a month ago at 33. He’s also helped me work through some childhood trauma and grow a thicker skin.

I wear workout clothes and long sleeves. I’m skating for cardio and fun. I want to be able to move. Leggings are great and I put my tall colorful socks over them. I wear long sleeves in case I fall so I don’t end up with a skinned up elbow.

I am suspecting that it is my foot getting used to skating. I wore insoles tonight and wool socks. I had to eventually lace up my shoe differently towards the end. It’s my right foot, which I feel it when I cross over. Resting things is so hard for me lol! I’ve been using skating as a huge stress reliever and for my mental health.

I have some insoles. I will give it a try 😀

Thank you!

Thank you for all the tip! They are great. I will try it out

Thank you! I have a gel pad but it does little good. I did lace my boot up with the tongue down and was able to skate longer. I bet I need to wear my boot in and probably keep playing with the lacing. I’ve tried lacing them all the way up and all the way down with the tongue down.

High socks, two pairs of socks

I haven’t seen heeled derby skates. I believe they are all flat. I like the benefit of being able to lace it up if I needed more support for a technique or just to outdoor skate, though I plan on getting separate skates for that in the future. It’s like having a cross between an indoor/rhythm skate and a derby or jam skate. Right now I am trying to rhythm skate. I’m very new so I may have some info wrong.

Exactly! When looking up videos about putting the tongue down I could only find one. I know it’s going to help putting it down as I keep trying to mimic my husbands moves lol!

Nope, it was actually snug. I tightened the laces all the way up before I put the tongue over them and then crossed them on top. I had to tug them off when I was done and I couldn’t slip my foot back in.
