Then you need to upgrade them now, not in a year! You're saying you already have ankle problems... and yet you want to wear a boot that is not supporting you for another year? I'm in my 30s, having skates that are supportive and safe is a top priority. Injuries are awful. I rolled my ankle and was out for six weeks. If I broke my landing ankle I'd be out for months. It's not worth it. Don't skate in boots you don't feel have adequate support for what you are doing.
