Question about purchasing ice skates?

Question

im going to the store dunhams soon to buy recreational ice skates, and i was wondering what to look for? I dont want big chunky plasic ones, becuase those seam to hurt my feet

so i was thinking about buying these skates that look like figure skates but it doesnt say that they are, they have laces and like a heel on them, and they are a white leather.

If i do buy figure skates would that be a problem?, are they harder to skate in than recreational skates?

thanks so much for the help!

Answer 1

the ones you are mentioning are the most common ones available. they are durable, and great for protecting your ankles because they lace up above that area and keep it firm. those are the ones i would get.

Answer 2

BUY FIGURE SKATES LEATHER ONES RIGHT TOOLS FOR THE RIGHT JOB. THEY WILL LAST YOU. DONT EVEN THINK OF GOING CHEAP.SKATING IS AN ART. I WISH YOU MANY HAPPY HOURS OF LEARNING THE ART

Answer 3

If you want skates for recreational purposes that are inexpensive but durable you need to look at Jacksons.  They are the brand I recommend for first starting out and recreational because of the quality.

Answer 4

Usually recreational skates are typically figure skates. You know if a skate is a figure skate if it has a toe pick (the jagged teeth on the front toe of a blade) on it otherwise it is most likely a hockey skate. Figure skates are easier to learn to skate in than hockey skates. Good luck!

Answer 5

i think a good skate brand for beginners are (Jackson's)

dont buy a skate just cause it looks like a figure skate! make sure it is one

a really good think is when ur buying skates have a coach or skater come w/ u and make sure the person thats fitting u knos wt their doin!!!

good luck
