Choosing the best skates for you
We want you to come to the shop to be properly fitted with the most suitable boots and blades for your level, aspirations and budget. We always try to give the most competitive price.
Most entry to intermediate level ice figure sets are sold unsharpened, this can cost up to £25 extra! We presharpen all our skates in store.
Our extensive stock includes the UK range of Belati, Risport, Edea and Graf. Prices of sets (including blade) start from £139.00. We stock from size 24 (UK 8 jun) – 46/47 (UK 12).
Please note it is really important for you to buy accurately-fitting, strong and comfortable boots.
Our online shop showcases and offers a range of ice figure sets, boots and ice hockey skates to buy instore and online. [map].
Fitting
As a general rule, you should buy ice skates as close to the accurate foot size as possible. Make sure you buy strong leather or micro-fibre (never plastic) boots with a good instep and heel supports. Soft ice skating boots are dangerous and must be avoided. The blade should be of high quality steel for it to retain its sharpening. If you see very cheap skates – ask yourself why? With regard to skates, you very much get what you pay for.
In our opinion, Edea tend to be slightly narrow fitting. Risport and Graf will work for narrow or regular fitting. Belati (unless custom-made), tend to work best for regular or wide fitting.
Blades
We supply all models of John Wilson, MK & Ultima figure & dance blades. Most sizes of Coronation Ace are in stock along with Gold Seal & Pattern 99 too.
