FAQ - How to choose skates!
22/03/2011 by tim.
Skating in Eastbourne means having the right equipment and Eastbourne Skate School have the most knowledgeable and experienced skate instructors around - this is how you choose skates:
1. Buy the right size - not one size too big.
2. Wear thin socks for the fitting.
3. When you first get into the boots - don’t write them off if your toes pinch at first. Do the Emergency ready position several times in them. This puts your heel in the right place and may make space for toes. NOTE that new skates have most padding at the back - and that is what gives in wearing in. It can therefore mislead when testing for the first time.
4. if the Emergency ready position doesn’t make room for your toes, they don’t fit, try another pair.
5. Your feet are not the same size! (This is normal)
6. Comfort is king! If they are not like slippers from the moment you’ve got your heel in the right place - try a new pair.
7. some skates are finished by hand and therefore vary boot to boot even in the same model. Try another boot from another box to get round the feet not the same size problem.
8. Comfort is king! you will be in these a long time - get it right first time. The difference between a £80 and £120 pair may seem a lot in the shop, but over 3+ years of use its pretty irrelevant.
9. Don’t buy cheap skates - as a beginner you want the FASTEST you can find not the slowest. This means your first try means you get lots of rolling time at LOW speeds to get used to it. The only way to get a slow skate to roll is go fast - and you don’t want to do that at first!
10. Get a decent make like K2 or Rollerblade - you get what you pay for. Kids need adjustable’s THE RIGHT SIZE not something to grow into.
