Are big feet bad for figure skating?

Question

Experience

Answer 1

And figure bowling also.

Answer 2

Not really, I have fairly large feet and I have done well in figure skating.

Answer 3

No not at all! Big feet give you more balance which is always a plus in skating.

Answer 4

No, big feet are not bad for figure skating.

But if you are buying skates, it may take longer.   Most pro shops do not stock a lot of the ladies size 8 and above.  Just something to think about.

Answer 5

It really doesn't matter, just buy bigger skates, it won't make a difference! As long as you can balance, you'll be just fine!

Answer 6

Not at all.

Size of your feet only matter in a jumping contest! ^_^

My friend has size 10ft (girl) and figure skates. I think she's really good too.

Answer 7

Nope! Let me tell you I have BIG FEET and have figure skated since I was two years old! I can do BETTER than those with little feet and have been in international ice shows!

Answer 8

no not at all, actually, bigger feet probably help you balance and jump higher. hope this helps ♥

Answer 9

not sure if it would matter... as long as you can balance I think you would be ok.

Answer 10

well you'll only have big feet if your tall like 5'7 or 5'8. so sometimes its bad but not always.. so being tall will effect the jumping part of figure skating.

good luck

Answer 11

i dont think so. I wear a size 9 1/2 and im doing fine so far.
