Re: the Nordic Ice Skating Thread

tkarhu that's awesome, I'll join there too. Thanks for the tips and overall advice. For now my goal is learn to skate first and hopefully afterwards with practice feel confident enough to join an excursion :) I was using an asymmetrical front binding adjustment and it feels too awkward to start wit...

Re: the Nordic Ice Skating Thread

Now to something completely else, does anyone know if swedish brand isvidda is a subdivision of another brand, or? I can't find any official website, no contact on the skaters package, no warranty info (!?).

Re: the Nordic Ice Skating Thread

mca80 right! i was wondering about the position of the blade in relation to the toes "line". this isvidda i'm using has the lateral adjustment and i'm very confused about that. i read somewhere that the blade should be between the big toe and the second toe (?) https://i.postimg.cc/Qtqjt4jy/draft.j...

Re: the Nordic Ice Skating Thread

@mca80 and @tkarhu nice, these tips help here too. What about the width/toe adjustment when not wearing fixed boots? Is there any general recommendation for that?
I haven't been able to skate in the past few days because it's been extra cold in south Finland.

Re: the Nordic Ice Skating Thread

Hi! New beginner ice skater here, trying to learn nordic ice skating and looking for some advice. I'm having a bit of trouble understanding how to adjust the ice skates and the boots: I got an Isvidda 45cm and a Roa hiking boot size 40. I'm happy to try out different settings until I find a good fit...
