How to choose a pair of skates

  • May 23, 2024May 23, 2024

Knowing how to choose a pair of skates can save you some time and money in the future. Coming from someone who has bought skates that did not work out, I would like to provide a bit of guidance. Here is what I learned. First, it’s better to buy your first few boots at a lower price. You might not like them as time goes one. Second, I recommend trying on that first pair of skates before you buy them. Finally, have an idea of how you intend to skate before you make your purchase.

Choose a pair of skates at a lower price

This can be a better option if you prefer to hold on to a little bit of cash. Remember, this first pair is more like a test purchase. You’re feeling them out to see if this is the style and brand that you want to stick with permanently. There are many parts to consider when making this initial purchase. You will need to know the size of the toe stops, the length of the laces, the type of plate, the wheels and the bearings that will be associated with your skate. With all of this factored in, you’ll have a better idea of how much you will need to spend for that perfect pair.

Try on the boot before you buy

I know from experience how much it can slow you down to have a boot that doesn’t fit correctly. You don’t want a boot that’s too big. There will be too much space in the heel and the toe. Then, the boot will wobble on your foot, and you don’t have the support that you need. Your boot could also end up being too small. You don’t want to be in pain while you’re skating. Also, let’s assume you’re buying a pair of boots for a pair of plates that you have. If your boots aren’t the proper size, then they won’t fit the plates. It’s best to have all of your equipment together for the purchase.
