Another skating blip

Today I went to flea market with Mrs. I bought tour skate blades. I thought I'd use them with my skiing shoes, I tested before buying that the shoes match with the binding of the skates. But the blades can't still be used with my skiing shoes. The shoes don't support ankles, making skating with them practically impossible. It wasn't a bad purchase though. Now I need to rent only the shoes when I want to skate with tour skates. Meaning that I only need to rent shoes for the blades ten times (or even less if I skate more than one hour at the time) for the blades to pay back their price. Not bad.
