I am sixteen and have used hockey skates all my life. I can do small jumps and move with great ease. I was wondering if it would be hard to make a transition from hockey skates to figure skates? Is there a difference in the way they feel? Would it be hard?
You sound like you're comfortable on hockey skates. It takes around six to eight hours to transition to figure skates. Going from figure skates to hockey skates is easier - only takes an hour or two for a good skater.
The FS boots fit more tightly and come up higher on your calf.
The FS blades are flatter and longer, so heel edge turns will be tricky.
The toe pick is there. Don't rock to the front of the skate to push off, etc. unless it's intentional.
That's usually the real problem - if your basic skating skills are poor (toe pushing in this case), changing skates is difficult.
