What Do I Need to Know About Skates?

  • The boot should provide a snug fit but with enough room to move your toes when properly laced.
  • Boots should be made of a firm material, preferably top grain leather, to provide good ankle support.
  • Hooks and eyelets should be firmly attached and the boot fully lined.
  • If the boot is too small, OUCH!
  • If the boot is too big, it will not provide the necessary support.
  • Blades should be stainless steel so they can be kept properly sharpened and hold an edge. They should be properly mounted on the boot with screws.
