1. How to tie shoelaces on skate shoes
Skate shoes
have shoelaces. If the shoelaces are not fastened properly, it will affect skating. How?
1. Loosen the skates and pull the laces out a little so your feet can easily fit inside.
2. Tuck the foot into the skate, make sure the sock is straight, and the foot is completely inside the skate, put the toes in first, then push the heel down completely.
3. Tighten the laces on the front half of the skates, being careful not to pull too tight in this area.
4. Tighten the shoelaces where the feet and ankles bend.
5. Once the laces are in place, wrap one lace twice around the other twice before starting to tie the hooks to keep it snug on the arch of the foot so the laces don’t slip. Meanwhile, make a criss-cross pattern with the laces and pull each hook with both hands. Some runners like to place the laces above and below the hooks, others like to place the laces underneath and then on top, either way.
Second, Is it better to tie the shoelaces tighter or looser
When tying the shoelaces of the skates, some friends are worried about the safety, so they tie the shoelaces very tightly; some friends I feel that the shoelaces are too tight and uncomfortable, so I choose to tie them loosely.
Generally speaking, the laces of skate shoes should not be tied too tight or too loose. The specific tightness can vary from person to person, depending on how comfortable and safe it is; Tighter is better, so that the foot can easily control the blade, but be careful not to tie it too tightly, otherwise it will easily cause foot pain.
In addition, when tying the shoelaces of the skate shoes, the shoelaces of the first two or three buttonholes can be tied a little loosely, and the shoelaces at the back should be tightened so that the ankles do not shake in the shoes. , so that you can lean to the sides and push hard. If the ankle feels sore after 20 minutes of sliding, it means that the shoelace is too tight. You should loosen the shoelace and rest for a while to allow the blood to circulate in the foot.
