How do I tie the laces on figure skates?
Dear kimblankenship, never ever wrap your laces around your ankles. This creates a pressure point on the boot that will cause a crease to form there. If you arent getting enough support from your skates, buy a new pair. If your laces are too long, buy a shorter pair. Wrapping the laces is a common cause for tendon guards to break and will invariably shorten the life of your boot upper. Watch the pros some time - none of them wraps their laces. Personally I would just lace them as I would a shoe and when you get to the hooks just cris cross the laces. Sue
