I did ice skating when I was 8 years old and I went back today and I loved it and I Janet forgot how to ice skate is imma be doing lessons again haah

[@redm00nproductions]

I JUST GOT MY SKATES!!! Same brand too! I'm doing lessons tomorrow and I'm really excited!

[@elizalivedumb]

before you do go on the ice break into them

[@samolhok930]

This is so rad. I'm looking for some men's figure skates but i have know idea what I'm looking for. At least i know how to tie them now

[@chloejones3306]

did you get into ice skating? Im trying to get into it now as a teen and would love tips if your still doing it!

[@ZoeMoore-tt9jg]

I always hooked them backwards and today I did the way it shows it in video and I've never skated so well before, thank you ❤

[@HellmanMatt]

So hard to hear with the music playing

[@1.hannahhhh.1]

if im size 7.5 in women’s, what size would i be in jackson mystiques? i got a 7 and i have no idea if it’s too tight. it feels tight, but I don’t know if it’s supposed to be like that!

[@AeroMysticLifestyle]

When you say put it in the oven for a few minutes, my oven at home should be fine for most boots right? In that case I’m wondering at what temperature lol

[@jhowardsupporter]

yeah just took my inline liners out of the oven a few days ago. I would use a thermometer cos what you think is 80 c may be 134 c. and the heating element is usually a lot hotter like near 200 c. but the boots can probs take a bit over required temp. check what the manufacture states as the temp for heat moulding. and cranking laces certain ways may damage things after so pull them the direction it shows in the vid. n metal can be hot, dont know if it will burn the carpet or something. that would be funny tho.

[@user-zt4mw1ei3i]

Heating element 200 degrees? Farenheit, Celsius or Kelvin??

[@nakedstatue8517]

The "put them in the oven" caught me offguard ngl :'D

[@bryand6811]

is it possible to heat mold jackson mystiques? i noticed that's the skates used in the video, but i just spoke with my skate shop where i bought my skate from and i was told it's not possible to heat mold them...

[@UberGooose]

I was also wondering that..

[@ninabeann]

No it is not possible to mold mystiques. I don't know why they did that in the video. They have a pvc sole that can't be heated and they aren't made with the molding material that's on the higher level boots.

[@angelina2908]

No afraid not! You cannot mold them

[@Bianca-tj3mt]

Helpful! Thank you!

[@tinzatinza7589]

Do we need to wear a thick socks to fit the boots? Or a regular socks is good?

[@Noodles736]

So helpful!

[@rachelthesleepyperson8436]

Please help, I need advice on which skates to get after my SFR Galaxy ones. I'm going to get a better pair of skates for Christmas, and I don't know if I should get Jackson Mystique or Artiste? I know artiste are a bit more advanced so they might last me a few more grades than the mystiques. I'm 14, and I'm a skate excel (UK) grade 4 atm. By this christmas i will be grade 5 or 6, i go to 1 lesson weekly. I am very far off practicing any jumps or spins at all, so what do people think?How long do both of those skates last with good care too, do they last more than a year???

[@aether9061]

jooniskates I'm getting the Artiste next Friday (I live in US so its in 8 days). It can last over 1 year or 2 if well taken care of. It also has more ankle support and better toe pick for jumps and scratch spins.

[@nouryaffar9062]

jooniskates both have the same blade

[@Ant-gb1ep]

I want to upgrade from SFR Galaxy soon too, which jacksons should i get?

[@angelina2908]

I suggest artiste! I have skated for around 10 years and I have had the chance to have both! The artistes lasted around 2-4 years for me so they are very good tho I do keep them in "perfect" condition! I do like the Jackson Mystique but I just feel like somethings off when I use them so I would say artiste for sure!

[@amywhomes7470]

I’m using edea skates- I’m not sure if that’s just British but they’re really good and extremely comfy

[@kittysinn4125]

Hi I was wondering if you could help please? Im 31 years old and a new leisure skater.. i've been a few times. I enjoy going to keep fit and exercise. I bought myself a pair of skates (thought i should have my own pair if i am going to make this a hobby) and i'm having a lot of trouble feeling stable on them. ( currently still breaking them in as they are quite painful to wear ) Model SFR galaxy adult ice skates size 6 So I am currently breaking in the boots, but its being made more difficult because i feel so very unstable and like the back of the blades do not touch the ice at all.. im not sure what it is that is causing such a difference in the way i skate?? Rental ones I am quite steady on and can go round without wobbling with some decent speed.. my own lace up boots.. i just feel really unsteady and unstable like i cant push off properly as i wobble and the skates slip at the back. I feel they are laced securely like in your video, they are freshly sharpened as well but i find balancing on them compared to the rental boot skates very difficult. does anyone perhaps please have any tips if it is possibly something i am doing?? or any idea of how i can fix it? Thanks!!!

[@Figureskatingdeals]

Hi, Kitty Sinn. It sounds like either the size or support level is not correct..can you contact us on our toll free information line and we will discuss it with you and maybe ask you for a photo to see how you are standing ...1-800-880-7505 ...Deb or Cynthia

[@anjaradonjic2316]

Following, i have pretty much the same problem, rental and my skates are pretty much the same on the ice, but off ice my skates don't have any balance and i can walk barely 2 meters in them until i lose my balance, and in rental skates i could walk normally. I tried everything, tying them tighter or lighter, it got better with tying like in the video, but im still worried...

[@jxddyl6975]

I have the same skates and they’re ok I have them in a 7 but I can dig my blades into the ice properly when going on edges and stuff and they’re sharpened properly I just don’t know lol.

[@ericathedumbass3639]

How do you fix the hooks on the skates if they’re closed? Mine are closed and I can’t properly tighten/lace them

[@vex1509]

Around The Clock Reader bend them with pliers

[@ericathedumbass3639]

vex ah, okay thanks

[@anika5094]

Why are you heating Mystiques?

[@alexshendel1984]

What’s wrong with that?

[@anika5094]

@@alexshendel1984 They aren't heat moldable...

[@gummynoodles9036]

How are the laces so small?

[@g2dayatdayataneshec.632]

hi can i ask ?if you are a begginer is it okay to use rentals? then if you master using rentals you can buy your own skates ? or buy your own skates even you are a begginer i need an answer because i want to learn ice skating :)))

[@user-ms2yr4gd5u]

hi im a beginner as well :) i started taking classes a month ago and i have used rentals for most of it to make sure that i really did enjoy skating and that i wouldn't be wasting my money on something i wouldn't do but i do love it and i just bought my jackson skates and am going to use them soon, anyway to answer your question yes it is okay to use rentals but the blades aren't as sharp and you could buy your own skates but i would suggest waiting a bit and using rentals in the very beginning then when you feel that you have the very basics down and you can skate you could buy your own. what i just wrote is kinda messy so sorry if you get confused😅 but i hoped it helped even just a little bit :))

[@g2dayatdayataneshec.632]

@@user-ms2yr4gd5u thank you for the reply and btw every week how many times do you skate :)))

[@user-ms2yr4gd5u]

Well for now I only skate once or twice a week (Friday and Saturday) I would actually want to go more often during the week to practice but I have to wait a couple months till I get my permit so I can go on my own lol but if your rink is close to you I would take advantage of that and practice a lot :)) also if this is an option for you, you could see if you could take classes so you have the basics and can move up to free style when the time comes :)

[@g2dayatdayataneshec.632]

@@user-ms2yr4gd5u ice skating sure needs a lot of expenses :(( but i can still try

[@user-ms2yr4gd5u]

kokie green yea it does:( but it’s really fun:)) we should keep each other updated 😂

[@lillyanlubean4502]

Am I suppose to wear socks when molding my skates to my feet?

[@sarahraeburn197]

Jaydien Oscar yes

[@angelina2908]

Yes that would be the most recommended

[@jongover5056]

Are you in the USA?

[@Figureskatingdeals]

We're based in Vancouver BC Canada, but our online store ships to USA - sometimes free on some products. See figureskatingdeals.com Because of our personal fitting and sharpening in-store, we've had people fly up from Oregon or drive from Washington just to get that service.
