I am not a good skater, but can skate like an average person.

Shoe selection is more critical. I need to have wide shoes, and shoes with stiffer soles and that is enough for me. If I overdo it, the next toe over can have sore joints from over loading. Usually some Advil and taking it easy and in a few days it has calmed down.

I have been wanting to return to roller skating since I recovered from my knee replacement 12years ago, My doctor said I could absolutely try skating again.
But is it possible to roller skate with a big toe amputation?
