when u tie ur ice skates do u just tie them like you would tie your shoes or is there a special way to tie them?
How to tie your ice skates?
Here is a website that explains how to properly lace your figure skates. http://figureskating.about.com/od/bootsa...
Reply:It is important to tie your skates tighter at the ankle. A loose ankle can cause injuries. Double knot them so they dont become loose. Dont tie them too tight at the top as it wont give you much flexibility
also if you are starting with a new pair of pro figure skates and are breaking into them i would recommend you not tie the last hook to give you more flexibility and comfort when you start out. then later you can tie it to the very top
Reply:i used what is called a double knot, you tied then like you do ur shoes then take the left over and tie them again just like you would if you were tieing from the first time, but to untie is sometimes hard you have to pull only one string really hard to get them to untie or you will have a big knot. good luck
Reply:Same, just pull veeeerry tightly
Reply:...you ahve to lace them up like criss cross and tie them really tight and i would double knot.

What pair of ice skates do you recommend?
I%26#039;m looking to buy a pair of ice skates and I%26#039;m curious to which ones you recommend. The Bauer Supreme 50 or the
CCM Vecto V8.0. Which is a better skate?
What pair of ice skates do you recommend?
Are you trying to figure skate or play hockey; these sound like hockey skates. Reidel figure skates would be ok if you can%26#039;t buy customs. However your best bet for customs would be KLINGBEIL
Reply:Neither skate is better. Jacksons are the best skates. They are custom made to fit your foot, and they don%26#039;t scratch easily. Now, whichever skates you choose, you need to cook/bake them. Ask a coach about it. I know it sounds wierd, but you actually put your skates in the oven at a cetain temperature for a certain ammount of minutes, and then put the skates on your feet. The skates don%26#039;t burn you when you put them on. On the contrary, they feel rather warm and cozy. Whether you buy Jacksons or Riedell or Bauer Supreme 50 or CCM Becto V8.0, remember that its the heart of the skater that really matters!
Good Luck Shopping For Skates!
Reply:I think the best option for you is to find someone who uses either of them and ask people what they think about those skates (advantages and disadvantages) ask them if they had to change their skates which brand they will choose. By asking someone who is already skated in them is good (don%26#039;t be shy). You can also ask advice from one of the coaches, they will know better they have been in the business for years and they usually know what skates their students used and which one is better than the other.
I am personally can%26#039;t give you advice, I have never came across those skates....
Reply:These sound like hockey skates not figure skates.
If you want figure skates and you do want to go customs, Riedell would be a good bet. However if customs are what you want Klingbiel is a good choice
Reply:well my choice would be the ccm they have much more they are more stylish and you can have the blades in three different types the ccms would definatley do it 4 me ccm is a very good long lastin hardware brand that have produced ic skates for a very long time and are very good they are also very strong thank lucy

Where can I buy ice skates?
Hey... I go ice skating a lot but I%26#039;m not a hockey player or anything... But i want to buy black ice skates for girls... Where can I buy them?... It could be a store or online but it will be way better if it%26#039;s a store...
Where can I buy ice skates?
If you mean figure skates, white is worn by girls/women and black is worn by boys/men. Maybe it%26#039;s %26quot;tradition%26quot; that makes it that way (???). All the girls/women and boys/men figure skate descriptions (for the regular boot type) will be labeled that way. So there are no %26quot;black%26quot; skates for girls - as the assumption is girls wear white figure skates.
If I am not mistaken, for children%26#039;s skates, there is no difference in a girls%26#039; or boys%26#039; skates except for the color (and that the boys%26#039; usually cost a few dollars more for some reason). However sizing is different for women and men besides the color . . . men%26#039;s are wider than women%26#039;s.
But hey, if you absolutely want black - go for it - whatever you%26#039;re comfortable with. They just need to fit you right. That being said, it%26#039;s probably best if you do go buy them in person so you can try them on. And for the best fit you should go to a pro shop (the skate store at the rink or at least a shop that specializes in figure skates) and ask for the expert skate fitter. It%26#039;s possible your local sports store may carry some skates, but they may not be considered %26quot;quality%26quot; ones.
Some online shops:
Some of the pics are all %26quot;girls%26quot; skates - if you read it carefully it will say they come in black.

Reply:From a sports store like Hibbetts Sports if yall have one
Reply:any ice skating rink sells skates, why do you want black...i mean whatever float your boat, but generally black is made for guys...you can buy white skates and get boot black covers for them..
Reply:well, if i were you i would buy my skates in white! i love white ice skates, but why do you like black? i have white redells, that i got for my birthday 5 weeks ago for my 12th birthday, and they are still in good condition! i got mine from my rink i go to for lessons, at the roseville skatetown ice arena. they have a pro-shop there, and they even have black skates for girls. but i got white reidells. good luck!
Reply:I don%26#039;t know of any stores that sell black figure skates (that%26#039;s what kind you%26#039;d want if they%26#039;re not for hockey). But if you get a pair of white figure skates, which are much easier to find, you can buy black boot covers. You put them on over your skates and they stretch out to cover up the boot. They come in all different colors and patterns, and pretty much any store selling figure skates carries them.
I did search online for some black skates and they%26#039;re very hard to find if they%26#039;re not for hockey but here are some I found:
http://www.skates.com/Riedell-Custom-Col... (lets you choose the color of your skates...it%26#039;s not cheap though, about 200)
Reply:If you want black skates, just buy a boy%26#039;s/men%26#039;s size. If you go to a pro shop, tell them you want to be fitted for boy%26#039;s skates. You can check online shops (just search for figure skates)....some have skates that look more like an athletic shoe/ski boot. They have figure skate blades, not hockey blades, but as I%26#039;ve heard from recreational skaters, they%26#039;re much more comfortable than a traditional figure skating boot. They%26#039;re called Softecs. They come in pink, blue, black, white, gray.... You can find them at rainbosports.com or other pro shops as well.
Reply:It might be hard for you to find black skates for girls. You can custom order colored skates, but it might be expensive. A cheap alternative would be to buy black boot covers and put them over white skates.

Bunga pads and ice skates?
I was wondering. Will those ankle bunga pads work for me if my problem is located at the top ice skates where the low cut is by the ankle. I notice that the bunga pads are for the ball bone part of your ankle. Will this stop my ankles from moving side to side in my skates at above the ball bone part of my ankle as well?
Bunga pads and ice skates?
They make all different types of bunga pads for specific problems. I would suggest trying on the bunga pads to see if they would fix your problem. It sounds like if your ankles are moving a large enough amount that your skates may be too large which is causing your discomfort. I would suggest talking to your local pro shop about this. It sounds like the bunga pads you are talking about would be appropriate, but if you can I would suggest trying them on to make sure that they would reduce your irritation. It is usually not a good idea to wear an ankle brace or air cast with skates, if you have an ankle injury it is best to take time off of the ice to allow it to heal. Skates aren%26#039;t usually make to fit with air casts or ankle braces. I also don%26#039;t think these would reduce any of your irritation with your skates.
Reply:Bunga pads are perfect for ice skates. I have the kind that you%26#039;re talking about and they work great. I%26#039;d be surprised if you weren%26#039;t happy with them.
Reply:well bunga pads are designed to help with all the needs of figure skaters. If you go to bungapads.com they have a wide selection on the pads to get.
If you did get bunga pads it would help with your ankle problems are at. AT the top of the skate is where alot of skaters have diffucluties with.
So yes bunga pads do help alot but you might want to buy 2 pair each. like 1 pair is one for right and left foot and the 2 pair would 2right and 2 left. if that makes sence. I have heard that they don%26#039;t last as long so yea.

What type of ice skates shold i buy ???
I have recreational ice skates and i was wondering are they any good ??? Im starting to really get into it, tricks like spins i was wondering what types of skates would be best ???
thanks in advance
What type of ice skates shold i buy ???
For spins and jumps, you%26#039;ll want a skate with more ankle support and a better blade than what comes with recreational skates. Usually for beginners, I suggest Riedells. They have decent boot/blade sets that won%26#039;t exactly break the bank. I would go to your nearest skate shop and get fitted for your skates to get the best fit for your feet. At the shop, they should be able to recommend which model to get. Sometimes you can find deals on skates on the internet, but you run the risk of them not fitting properly (size/width) and an incorrect size can not only hurt, but affect your skating. You may also want to check out Jacksons, which from what I have heard run small. Good luck and happy skating!
Reply:Depends...there are two types of ice skates: hockey and figure. The difference is the shape at the toe. I would recommend hockey skates, and some good brands are bauer, ccm, and many many others, but check out icewarehouse.com, epuck.com, and google ice hockey and you%26#039;ll find plenty of good ones. And yes, depending on the skate they can range from $50 - $600 +, just depends on what you%26#039;re doing with them.
Reply:If you go to a professional figureskating store they could probably pick out a good one. They start getting pricey like 200-300$
Reply:Well if you are into spinning around and stuff on the ice then you need %26quot;Figure Skater%26quot; skates with the toe pick. Otherwise Hockey skates for general skating, or %26quot;Racing%26quot; skates with the really long blade for racing.
Reply:id start off with a lower level reidel skate...their easily rebuilt and arent as costly as many others. they should last you a few levels before you really want to spend some money on better/higher quality skates.
