Help on ice skating please?

Try an 9, tie super tight...

For someone who's never skated, I suggest staying close to the wall and to skate push one foot forward then bring around the next one and then push on that foot until your moving. Keep your arms out that will help with your balance and help you not to fall. You can also march on the ice, like do a little walk then glide, then walk again. Also when getting a skate size you are always supposed to get a skate that is one size smaller than your shoe size, just because skates are shaped a little differently and there purpose is different, so get a 9 next time. And what i've noticed in a lot of beginner skaters is there bending there ankles, and that makes them fall, don't bend your ankles over and keep your skates tied well so your foot doesn't move around in the boot and cause that. Hope i helped! :)
