My father in-law is a lifelong hockey fan and player, even in his sixties. He plays on a local team and accidentally broke his ankle last winter while playing the last game of the season. He now has a plat in his ankle but is determined to return to the ice for the coming season in just a few weeks.
My husband and I would like to find him a pair of skates that offers maximum ankle support, but since neither of us know much about skates, we were hoping you could offer some suggestions. Your help is greatly appreciated!
Ice Skates with Maximum Ankle Support?
in my opinion any new pair of skates offer great ankle support as long as they fit properly however i prefer ccm tacks or Nike-Bauer vapours both high quality skates at a medium price
Reply:I skated for 20 years in a professional Ice show. Custom boots cost a lot . In the range of 600 dollars, and that was 30 years ago. What I used to do is get a piece of leather sawn on top of the boot around the ankle and it worked great for about a year and than I would do it again. All my peers starting doing also. Your father inlaw could use his old skates which would fit and get the leather sawn on.
hope this helps.

Reply:If he is in his 60s he probably won%26#039;t wear the skates you get him. They%26#039;ll hurt and he%26#039;ll go back to his old ones.
Reply:I always went with ccm tacks, best skate for the price. Then I%26#039;d always take a roll of white hockey tape and wrap my ankles after I put my skates on, I couldn%26#039;t stand having my ankles flop around in my skates.
Reply:when it comes to the best support Tacks are the best. He has to actually go into a sports store %26amp; have his foot molded to the actual skate giving him the best support that any other skate has..you can find Tacks at any sports store I suggest that you don%26#039;t even consider play it again or used skates. They will not fit his foot properly. They may be a bit more expensive but it will be worth it.

Where to buy cheap ice skates?
I recently went ice skating and realised that I really liked it. I am willing to pay £35 for a pair of nice ice skating boots but I don%26#039;t seem to be able to find any. Most of them are figure skating boots and I really don%26#039;t want them. Do you know anywhere I can get some decent but cheap ice skates from?!
Thanks
Where to buy cheap ice skates?
Decent and cheap don%26#039;t often go together. Most people buy either hockey or figure skates, but there is an alternative. Jackson makes an inexpensive, mediocre skate called the %26quot;Softec%26quot; that looks like a running shoe. They come with either a hockey or figure skating blade. You can%26#039;t use them for advanced hockey OR figure skating because the boot and blade are only intended for beginners. The boots are a bit stiff and forward-leaning, like a ski boot, but the inside is well-padded and comfortable. CCM makes a similar skate that might be available in your area.
Good luck.
EDITED TO ADD:
You can buy Riedell versions of the Jackson Softec from SkateBuys - they ship internationally.

Reply:You can try e-bay, but I%26#039;m not really sure where you can get skates for $35. Play it again sports is where I got my first pair of skates for about $40, but I don%26#039;t know if they have any of them in the UK (I%26#039;m assuming you are in the UK, because you are using Euros). Most pairs of decent figure skates usually cost about $75-$100, but you can buy some less expensive ones that work.

Reply:You can usually buy used skates at a low price. Make sure that the blades are in good condition. It also helps that the skates are already broken in.
I wouldn%26#039;t suggest using e-bay if you want to get a cheap pair, you can%26#039;t see how sharp the blades are. If they are really dull, you may have to spend around 80 bucks to sharpen them at a pro shop and you never know what condition they are in.

How do you tie Ice Skates?
I like to tie my skates really hard-so usually I like it very hard, and lately I%26#039;ve been having a lot of trouble tying it tight enough. Does anyone know any tricks on how to tie ice skates? So, if Im going skating and I put my skates on, I want to know how to tie them tight once on my feet. Thanks!
How do you tie Ice Skates?
I find this way very good for me, and I%26#039;m sure you will as well!
If you have ever laced up shoes from scratch its just like that. Cross one lace over each side on each hook, skipping 1 hook as you go, and then do the same on the other side. Make sure at the bottom you pull nice and tight to make it firm all the way up.
But you must also remember sometimes is not all that good to have it very tight around your ankles, as it can stop you from bending as low as you can go with things like. %26quot;shoot the duck%26quot;, %26quot;little man dips%26quot; and %26quot;sit spins%26quot;.
If the laces are a bit too long, or you want extra ankle support, try wrapping the extra lace string round the top of the boot, then tie. You can also cross the laces over each other at the top, to make it tight.
I hope this help you, and good luck with your skating!
Reply:start tieing them tight from the begining. dont pull ur hardest at the end, just make sure its really tight around ur angcle and around ur leg. the tighter the better

Which skates are easier for just plain old ice skating? Figure skates or Hockey skates?
I tried Figure skates my first time (was on 9-21-07) and i learned how to walk and glide, then i saw all these people just going fast with hockey skates, i might go with people on friday again, i just wanna no which skates are easier for just plain old ice skating, no tricks or ne thin
Which skates are easier for just plain old ice skating? Figure skates or Hockey skates?
Figure skates are definitely easier for plain old skating . . . especially if you are a beginner and do not have a preference to either just yet. Of course hockey skaters will say hockey skates are easier - that is what they are used to. But they are right that it can be a bit difficult switching from hockey to figure. I%26#039;ll try to explain without being biased!
Figure: The length of the blade (passed the heel in back around an inch), the toe picks up front, and flatness (though we do have a curve on it) make it easier to balance - even to just stand up.
Hockey: The blades are actually narrower, shorter (nearly same length as the boot), and rounded (no heel or toepicks or anything to stop you from rolling over frontwards or backwards). These are designed to give the hockey skaters freedom to move abruptly and quickly - more freedom means a skater needs more control.
Figure: Top hooks give more support in the boot.
Hockey: Top is laced through eyelets - no hooks - the extra support is not needed because they don%26#039;t do jumps and spins like figure skaters. The foot feels looser in the boot - compared to figure skates.
I tried hockey skates . . . and oh I was just falling all over the place with hockey skates. I instantly had new respect for hockey skaters - wink!
Hey, glad you decided to give skating a go! Hope this helps!
Reply:i%26#039;m not just saying this cuz i%26#039;m an ice skater, but i pretty much think that figure skates are easier!! much easier! (not the sport but the skates!) but i wouldn%26#039;t try using hockey OR figure skates unless your sure you want to do it and your sure oyu can be carefyl, don%26#039;t just start speeding and not know what your doing!! it can be dangerous!! but i have my own riedell figure skates, and they are still clean and in good condition!! well good luck!!
P.S.: no one get offended or anything but usually when i see boys skating (ice skating) i usually think its kind of creepy and it makes them look girly! no affense, but i have no idea even why boys do ice skating or bellet, it just looks wierd and un-boy like!
Reply:Hockey skates have no razor teeth in the front of the blades, figure skates do, with hockey skates you need to know the trick on how to accelerate. They have their own little quirks. Figure skates have those teeth and are designed just for that figures.
Reply:Figure Skates are easier than hockey skates because the figure skate blade is longer than the hockey skate blade, and figure skates also have a toe pick which can help you keep your balance better. The people whom where on hockey skates have probably had quite a bit of practice, I%26#039;m a figure skater and I can%26#039;t even skate on hockey skates very well!
Reply:Try out both, but don%26#039;t switch on and off too much unless you think that%26#039;s best. Getting used to one would prolly be better for your skating.
Reply:I%26#039;ve tried both...I prefer figure skates, but it really is a matter of preference. In hockey skates, you really have to keep your knees bent and make sure you%26#039;re pushing off your edges. In figure skates, you can get away with pushing off your toes -- it ain%26#039;t pretty -- but you can get away with it. Hockey skates are going to be more like pushing on rollerblades. If you%26#039;re going back to skate, you%26#039;ll probably have to re-adjust to the hockey skates if you go with them this time.
Reply:hockey skates, no toe pick to get in the way~
But I%26#039;m a bias hockey player so!
Reply:I have only ever used figure skates, but you should try both, and choose which you like best. No one can tell but you.
♥
Reply:To a non-skater, figure skates are going to be the easiest to skate with. Believe it or not, that toe pick will not get in your way or hinder you as many think it will. It%26#039;s not big enough. ;-) It will actually help as the natural instinct is to push straight back, and if you do that in hockey skates you%26#039;ll end up falling. Hockey skates have a shorter, rounder blade that is harder to balance on with little to no skating experience.

Best ice-skates for women?
I would like to take some ice-skating lessons (beginner) but I don%26#039;t know which brands are the most respectable and also which things I should pay special attention to when buying a pair of ice-skates...
The thing is that I%26#039;m from Argentina and in my country it%26#039;s either impossible to get a pair or they%26#039;re are outrageously expensive. Therefore, I%26#039;m planning to use Ebay to buy these, but actually, I don%26#039;t know a thing about brands and the best blade%26#039;s and boots%26#039; materials and stuff...
Can you help me?
Thanks a lot!
Best ice-skates for women?
Hey!
Ebay is a good place to buy them.
The best makes for begginers and Jackson and Riedell.
Ridell red, yellow and white ribbons are made for begginers.
Jakoson mystiques, glacier 520, classique are also for bgginers but the classique are for more intermidiate. the materials is a leather with a sole injescted platsic, as i said the tow makes aboove are the best and you wont pay stupidly high prices.
The boots come with blades already attched and you dont need to do anythink. If you can make sure they are already sharpened, and i recomend not buying second hand at this stage.
You will need a pair of blade guards to help keep the blades clean, and a normal small towel is best and cheaper then a skating towel, to try the baldes off when ever you come of the ice. A bag to carry them in also comes in handy.
So to keep it simple, i would get either Yellow ribbon riddells or jackson Mystiques - they both offer great ankle support, which is needed for begginers as they will have wekaer ankles for a while. Look around ebay sites to find the best deal! and good look!

Reply:I suggest you go to your skating rink%26#039;s pro shop and get skates fitted there. Ask about the best boot and blade for your feet and then use that information to order online. This way, you know that you are getting what you need. I suggest Riedells as a beginning skate brand!

Jackson y riedell son muy buenas marcas para los principiantes, pero debes comprarte unos que cuesten mas de 50 $, y debes recordar que si compras ciertos modelos no te duraran hasta intermedio.

Question about purchasing ice skates?
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!
Question about purchasing ice skates?
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.
Reply: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!
Reply: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.
Reply: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

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!
