Hey all, so I recently went skating after almost 2 years of hiatus, due to the pandemic, and for the first time, I had some issues with my RF3 boots. They all of a sudden made my feet feel a little suffocated in the boot, and there was rubbing/ bruising on my ankles, and on my legs where the tops of the boot are. This was so unusual to me as I'd never before experienced this, and I have been questioning what happened. I wondered if it was my socks, or if it was due to not having skated in so long. I also wondered if it was due to having been overbooted years ago. I've heard that overbooting can mean the boots feel too stiff, and this time around, they were feeling exactly that. Back when I bought them, I was recommended them by a shopkeeper in a skating shop. At that time, I was skating once a week in group lessons. They never once hurt me or felt stiff, but perhaps I was not working as hard as I try to now (i.e. attempting to hold edges and improve in these detailed areas), with self-education on skating. It's difficult to tell. I'm worried it means I'm just going to keep having issues with them now, and tbh, there isn't a skating shop near me to get fitted again. I know RF3s are usually associated with doubles, but I've only ever been working on singles, and I haven't even tried the Flip or Lutz yet, though I am close to trying those out for the first time. It may have been that I had/ have the ability to try all singles for a while now, but haven't due to not being in lessons/ moving around/ trying to find a rink close enough. So that leads me to the last issue, do I plough on with these RF3s, or do I trade out for boots that are a lower level? Thanks
