I'm new to skating and tried this. It's a great confidence builder for gliding on one foot for an extended period of time. Thanks for the tip.

Are you thick or something? That isn't how you balance on skates! And I would know cause I used to do figure!

@HVPShortz Get Bauer Supremes. They are usually under $100 and are like the ones he is wearing. They are not too stiff, have great stability and support for your ankles and are durable. It's usually better to just buy if you are interested in skating for more than a few times because rentals are broken in for other people's feet and won't fit very well. Also the cost of rentals can add up over time.
