Answer 1

I bought mine from here: http://www.everglides.co.uk the service was brilliant.

The ones I bought were Roces Figura Top Plus - they are great, though perhaps not the best as beginners' skates because the tongues are very thick. Roces are a very good brand though...I would suggest you get ones that you can get heat moulded as they are much more comfortable that way. If you ring everglides and tell them what sort of thing you want, they will advise you on what would be the best for you. Also have a look at the 'buying ice skates' section for lots of useful info. Good luck!
