There are many choices in figure skates, but unfortunately not enough knowledgeable sources in the ice rink pro shops to guide skaters to the pair that is right for them. The “unwritten rule” in the ice skating world that is passed on to those new to the sport is that cheap boot and blade sets that are sold at department stores are just not acceptable. Inexpensive figure skates may draw some buyers, but anyone who knows figure skating also knows that figure skates must be purchased from stores that deal exclusively with figure skates and figure skating supplies.
Middlebury Sports & Apparel’s experienced purchasing coaches are here to help new as well as veteran figure skaters choose the right products. Whether it is your first pair of skates or your tenth, our specialized staff will get you the fit you need according to your level.
