Hi,
Hope you guys are doing well. It's my first post here so I'm not really sure what I'm doing. I recently got back in to skating (after about 2 years due to school and the pandemic, the country opened up again after lockdown and we continue to have low cases to the rinks are open), using a new pair of Edea Overtures (my old skates were Jackson Mystiques, but they were 2 sizes too big for me so I never really went through the painful breaking in process. I was skating today and was really struggling because I cannot lace up the ankles tight enough and keep falling in on my inside edge . I understand that to properly break in my boots I will just need to push through but I was wondering if anyone had any advice on how to soften up the ankles a bit so I can lace them tighter? I am worried that the position I am being forced to skate in right now will leave me injured and damage my skates and technique.
Side note: Skating isn't super popular in my city/country so there isn't anywhere that I can go to get them professionally heat molded.
Thanks in advance, I'm pretty stuck haha
