Best skates for someone with a bad ankle?

I love to ice skate and I plan on buying a pass now that I live a mile and half away from a rink. I%26#039;d also like to buy a pair of skates so I don%26#039;t have to rent them all the time. I have one ankle that I broke in several places as a child that%26#039;s never quite healed - it turns rather easily and I%26#039;ve sprained it badly several times over the years. When I skated the other night the first set of skates felt really wobbly so I exchanged them for a pair of hockey skates that were nice and solid and felt great.





Is it weird for a woman to wear men%26#039;s hockey skates or is there a particular brand/model of figure skate/women%26#039;s hockey skate that%26#039;s more %26quot;solid%26quot; than others? I don%26#039;t intend to be out there doing jumps and such - I%26#039;m just doing it for exercise.

My favorite skates by a landslide are K2 brand Camano%26#039;s. They are made as both roller blades and ice skates, though the ice skates are harder to find. I%26#039;ve seen them available on ebay for about $79.00 which is a steal compared to the $175 or so they originally sold as.


They are considered a %26#039;hybrid%26#039; skate. They%26#039;re pretty much a blend of a hockey-like boot, but, pared down a bit and more flexible like a figure skate. They%26#039;re also gel lined to conform better to your foot and ankle.


I have a pair of both the rollerblades and ice skates. They are the only skate I%26#039;ve owned that didn%26#039;t absolutely kill my ankles after a half hour. I can skate 5 miles in the rollerblades with no ankle pain at all and the ice skate has an identical boot.


K2 makes some of the most comfortable ladies skates around. They probably have a newer model that%26#039;s just as good as the Camano, but, that was the best reviewed for comfort when I bought mine.


They do run small though. Buy one size bigger then your sneaker size..

Reply:sp-teri or harlick are the top brand for stabilizatiion.....
Reply:I would probably go with hockey skates and then tape my ankle.





If you get a chance ask your doctor/physio what tape technique is best for you.





Taping techniques vary depending on the break/








Good luck!

There are usually a lot of stores that sell skates. Ask the person working there for some with extra ankle support. And make sure you lace them very tightly.





The best way to find a good skate is to just try a bunch on.
