Ice Hockey Skates
Ice hockey skates have gone through many phases since the first person attached a metal blade to the bottom of his boots for a cautious trek onto the ice. Today, there are so many different brands and styles to choose from, it can be hard to know which skate is the right one for you. Most brands offer the same type of options on their skates at various pricing levels. The nicest pairs of Bauer, CCM and Easton skates will all have very similar features and options. Entry-level ice skates provide you with a stainless or carbon steel blade, basic padding and maybe some moisture wicking for around $100. Mid-level skates in the $140 to $200 range offer improved materials with more effective latex padding, better quality blades and increased moisture control, with some fit customization. When price is not a question, you can purchase the best technologies in your skates from comfort to performance. Fitting Your Ice Hockey Skates
Ice hockey skate sizes tend to run one to one and a half sizes smaller than your tennis shoes and need to fit your feet very snugly. Never purchase skates with a little too much room, thinking you can wear thicker socks or two pairs of socks to make up the difference. If your skates are too tight and uncomfortable, a local shop can use one of several methods to stretch them out for you.
