What boots are good for someone with slim ankles?

Question

I have really small ankles [with big ankle bones that stick out thanks to the boots i have now], and the Risports i have now dont seem to fit right around the top and I have to tie them quite tight around the ankle before they dont feel like im going to break my ankle landing jumps. I do doubles and i was wondering if there was a better boot out there for the people like me with thin ankles or if i just have to keep sucking it up?

Answer 1

get reidells.  ask the person at the shop for a combo fit.  I have one that has a wider ball but a thinner heel.  so go and check it out.

Answer 2

Riedell makes quite slim-fitting boots.

Answer 3

I have the same problem, but with wide feet/ankles instead. I had to custom order my boots for a D boot. You could try a smaller one like A or AA, possibly. Besides these, I dont' know of any other solutions. Best of luck to you and your skating!

Answer 4

Jacksons are the best boots to get but if you go to a local ice skating shop you can pay about 20 dollars extra to have them fit your feet and ankles OR get the kind of skates with the wire at the top instead of lacing them to the top.

Hope this helps!!!!

Answer 5

honey, if you can't find any, then just get custom made....

Answer 6

Thats tricky. But before i can answer, I need to know if your skates now are heat moldable. Probably they are, but if they aren't, well then get some heat moldable skates!

I actually have pretty thin ankles too.. I wear the top of the line Jacksons, (non custom though, those i just can't afford) and they work well for me.

There are relatively thin cylindrical gel things that you can put around your ankle. You just slide them over your foot to your ankle. And i've heard they are pretty comfy too. But i think that will help fill up space.

Answer 7

Riedells are known for being slim boots. You might want to look for boots with heat molding.

Good luck!
