    They're not supposed to hurt, but if you were off for a year, it will take some getting used to and breaking in before they're comfortable again.

    In your skates, it's best to wear either nothing on your feet, thin socks or tights. Never wear thick socks, they will give you blisters, and make the whole experience a lot more painful than it has to be. You'll probably get some blisters anyways, but if you wear super thick socks, you'll get a lot more. Blister bandaids and duct tape over top of them work the best in this case.

    Hope this helps!

  • Figure skates are made of leather which can stretch and shrink. You'll have to break them in again, but make sure you wear very thick socks to protect against any bits that might nick your skin. Just wear them around the house on and off and they should feel better after some time.
