Hey everyone!
I've been skating at public skating sessions quite often this season, took a couple of group lessons, and I've decided time has finally come for me to max out that credit card and buy my first figure skates.
I've done a lot of research but I think y'all's opinion is kind of unbeatable. I'd love to know if you have recommendations.
This is me:
Male, 24
Body type: slim
Height: 5'7" (171cm)
Weight: 125lb (57Kg)
Skating level:
Starting to work on backward crossovers, one-foot turns, basic one foot spin.
Hope to have the same pair of skates all the way through learning lower level single jumps.
Feet measurements:
Normal arch
Slightly large big toes
Roman-Egyptian type
Right foot: US size 9. Length: 10 3/8" (26.3cm). Width: 3 3/4" (9.5cm). Heel width: 2 7/16" (6.2cm).
Left foot: US size 8.5. Length: 10 1/4" (26cm). Width: 3 5/8" (9.2cm). Heel width: 2 3/8" (6cm).
PREFERRED BUDGET: $300 max for boots and blades combined. God help me, I'm an international student living in New York City and THIS LIFE AIN'T CHEAP.
Thank you very much!!
