Hi! I started figure skating about a year and a half ago. I’ve been wearing Jackson Evo’s since I started. Recently I noticed heel pain in my right foot while skating and when putting pressure on my heel. I went to a podiatrist and they said it was a ganglion on my haglund. They suggested I put a u shaped pad around the heel bone while skating and it doesn’t have much pain since I have done that. Still I think it may be time to get new skates but I’m still not sure. I am 16, 5’9, and weigh 115 lbs. I can do all single jumps besides axel, which I am working on learning right now. My spins are still a bit iffy and not usually my main focus. I notice my right foot buckles occasionally when I land jumps. Recently I have noticed I have to tie my right skating 2 times for it to feel tight enough. It does not have any visible creases so I’m not sure if it’s time to retire them. Let me know what you think!!!
