I’ve tried out roller derby a bit in the past, and my own skates finally came in the other day (I got the Riedel r3 derby skates). They fit perfectly and seem to work great, and I’ve seen everybody saying how great they are as a beginner skate, but the tongue is so uncomfortable for me. Whenever I bend my ankles (which I do a lot to stop/manuver) the tongue of the shoe bites into my foot. I was wondering if anyone else had this problem (and if they did) if they had any advice? Or alternatively, if there’s a recommendation for a good starter shoe with a less rigid and hard tongue? Thank you for the help!!!
