Re: Buying ice skates
i skate almost every day in the winter. get a decent but not too expensive pair of ccm hockey skates. too expensive usually means too stiff unless you are big and a very aggressive skater. about 80 to 150 bucks is about right. dont get figure skates.
dont buy them small like the websites tell you to unless you want to buy another pair. get them big enough for a medium heavy pair of socks. you can also put a felt liner in the bottom to take up space and give warmth. if you skate outside you need warmth. hockey players skate inside mostly and they have different needs. even outside they are very active and break their skates in easily and conform to them.
