Happy New Year!
Firstly lets see how my skating went last month. The first half was mostly used to work on the Nutcracke exhibition program. It was a happy time.
I also kept working on the Pre-Juve MITF to keep them ready for test. Then, as I found out my club's next test session was end of February, I've decided to use this time to change my boots.
I was unlucky to get defective boots, the inside of the boot was uneven and was hurting the sole of my foot. I've spent the last week of December breaking them in and working with the skate shop to adjust them. There was progress but it needed more work, read here how it went. i=Ultimately, it wasn't doable, they were declared a manufacturing defect.
So, wasted time... lot's of hurt and nerves later, I was issued a refund and the blades were put back on my old boots. I started writing a post with how each day of breaking in the new boots went, I will finish that post and elaborate on this more.
The first week of January I have not skated with the exception of once, on a outdoor rink that a friend rented for her birthday party. My old, sooo beloved boots, felt quite... awful. So I haven't had any drive to go skating.
I would like to go to another boot fitter. The old one took way to long to discover the problem, I mean to accept the problem I discovered. The new fitter is closed these days, he will be open Saturday, and only then I can make an appointment for fitting, if he chooses to put me in the same boot, the factory doesn't have it in stock, it is gonna take up to two months to be manufactured.
I plan to make myself go skating. I mean, I should be able to readjust to the old boots!
