Can someone help me find the BEST figure skate for me? |
Hi im serious about figure skating and want to get the highest quality for me a total beginner. I can skate good but i suck with rentals :p i was thinking something with good foam padding because my ankles always hurt with the rentals and i want to learn forward/backward glides, spins, etc. with these skates too. I need something with really good support but easy to break in. Im not going to order online but just want to get an idea if these skates are good? These are some skates i was thinking of. does anyone know if these are good and which one in specific? http://www.usaskates.com/figureskating/j... http://www.riedellskates.com/ice/112.htm... http://www.usaskates.com/figureskating/r... For now i will skate about once a month since the nearest ice rink is 2 hours away but i dont want something thats like ocassional because in about a year i am going to skate everyday since we are moving or they build an ice rink here. I would suggest going with to your local pro shop and trying on some different pairs/sizes/brands of skates. Try keeping them on your feet for a little while, and maybe even walking around the store with them on (if they will allow you to). I would probably suggest going with the Riedell Blue Ribbon Skates. I have found that the Riedell skates seem to be comfortable, and would be fairly easy to break in for the beginner. I understand that you would like to get the highest quality skate, but since you are a beginner I would suggest staying with quality beginner skates because you don't want to get them too stiff (since higher end skates are always stiffer). Source(s): Figure Skater May I suggest visiting a local skateshop so you may try on the skates and make a further decision based of the fit and feel. The Riedel white ribbon 112 I think is the best choice of the three that you have shown. Although the Riedel blue ribbon 121 is a slightly beet skate. Keep in mind these Riedels need to be heat form-fitted, so purchase via internet will not provide that and your home oven is NOT recommended for this. Most skateshops can do this for you. Good luck |
