Decently Priced Ice skates?

Question

I want ice skates for figure skating i am new to the sport adn need a decent but not to expensive priced pair as i am jsut beggining !

£35_ £50 tops

any recommendations ?? links would be helpful thanks

Answer 1

www.skates.co.uk from £39.95 were the only under £50 i could find. They weren't a well known make.

Wouldn't recommend 2nd hand skates as they will have moulded to the shape of the other persons foot.

Risport skates tyically £65, Riedell £110

Would recommend you save for a bit longer, too cheap a skate will hurt/damage your foot and put you off skating.

Answer 2

Don't get used skates. A good decent pair of skates might start @ 200.00+

Answer 3

Try ebay.com cheap new items and good quality old ones.

You also could try looking at your local rink if they have a store.

Hope this helped!

Answer 4

Sorry sweatie, your not going to find skates that cheap ,not even used ones!!! At that price your only going to find something worn out ,something that you will hurt yourself with!!!

Answer 5

I got mine off ebay for £15 inc p+p. They were the right size for me but the toe picks had been shaved off the blades  so they are only good for recreational skating now and if I get good I will be looking out for newer ones. Having said that they do take me where I want to go so far.  eBay is ok as long as you are sure what you are getting. Remember to get your blades sharpened before you first use them even if they are second hand as you won't know how long since they were last done.  MK is a good make of mass produced blade.

Answer 6

I don't know the currencey so well, but at skatebuys.com, there are ok priced skates. Riedells are about $100 for pretty good skates.

I hope this helps! :)

Answer 7

By far the best way is to go to your nearest ice rink ,they will have a shop,talk to the tutors and skate teachers,they will tell you about the best skates for you and very often will be able to sell you a second hand set of top class skates in new condition.

If you know someone in canada ask them to get them for you makes like bauer, ccm etc, tons cheaper even with parcel delievery.
