My pair of skates have been worked in well, and the inside fits perfectly but I have trouble geting the skate to be tight to my ankle which I like. I have brough my fingers to bled a bit once because i waqs pulling so hard. I usually have to do it up again at least once or twice a game.

How can I get my laces tight, and my skate to fit my ankle and tops of my feet like a glove?

my only advice would be either to wear two pairs of socks, like put on a thin soccer sock first then a thicker sock over that. but i know some people get blisters from that so try it out. another thing that i dont know if you do with your laces already is if they are long enough, wrap them around the back of the skate, it might help a little.

oh and one more thing, dr. scholl's makes soles you can put in the bottom of a shoe, that might help the skate fit tighter around your foot.

or just get stronger so you can pull tighter

They have stuff called ankle tape for a reason.

The best way to get your skates tighter is to get someone else to tie them. I know it will may you look like a wuss but it will work as long as the skate tier has some strength
