What womans recreational figure skates to buy?

Question

my wife and i just recently took up recreational ice skating, we go to the ice rink almost every weekend. I purchased some bauer men's hockey skates and i got a killer deal on them now we are looking some for my wife but i really don't know much about woman's figure skates since we just do this recreational i need help finding some good figure skates for my wife. There are a couple that i have looked at on-line like Jackson Glacier 120 but i really don't know if they are good recreational skates.

Answer 1

Pretty much any skate will work. Rainbo sports has a great selection of them. If she would like something extra comfy with no break in period then get a soft skate. If she wants to learn a "trick" or two then she will probably need normal beginner skates, like Heidi said, the Riedell ribbon series or something similar.

Answer 2

The jackson 520 series is the perfect recreational skate! i got them a year ago for 60 bucks! they are confortable and offer lots of foot support. I highly recomend them. I am upgrading next month, and also recomend reidell skates or the jackson classic for upgrades later on.

those r the ones my 21 yr old sister got when she started recreational skating. Remember, skates are 1-2 sizes smaller than your real shoe size, so if you have an ice rink shop near your house it would be best to go   there and get them fitted and such.                    

Answer 4

What size is she? I have a pair of recreational skates that I used for 6 months when I was learning beginner stuff. I bought them for $50 and willing to sell them for $25. I'm adding soakers or guards with them for free. It is a size 6, and it fit me when I was a size 5 I believe...

You can also try Riedells, their ribbon series.
