Frequently Asked Questions
Why do figure skates fit differently than hockey skates?
Figure skates are tighter for control and responsiveness (sizing down 0.5). Hockey skates are roomier for foot movement and speed (sizing up 0.5).
How important is proper skate fit?
Critical. Loose skates cause blisters and ankle instability. Tight skates restrict blood flow and cause pain. Proper fit is essential.
Should I wear thick socks with skates?
Use thin to medium skating socks, not thick ones. Thick socks reduce feel and can make properly-fitted skates too tight.
What if I'm between sizes?
Try both if possible. One size smaller gives better control; one size larger gives more comfort. For beginners, comfort is usually better.
