I started skating in January with the Jackson 500 skates, they were comfortable right out of the box. I’ve been taking lessons and want to continue through the lts levels so I found some artistes secondhand for a good price and figured I’d give them a try. I thought they’d fit the same as the 500s but not at all.. I guess all the padding is making them extremely painful in the toe area.

Do you think it’s worth taking them to a skate shop to see if they can adjust them or should I try the Elle or freestyle instead since they are a different form I guess?
