FAQ
Common questions about this kit
Figure or hockey skates?
Figure skates for beginners (the toe pick helps stability and the blade is longer/gentler); hockey skates for speed and agility once you can balance. Rent both before you buy to find your preference.
How should skates fit?
Snug — one size below your shoe size, with the heel locked and toes just brushing the front. Loose skates cause blisters and wobbly ankles; fit beats brand.
Helmet for skating?
For beginners and kids, yes — and increasingly for everyone. Ice is hard and heads are fragile. A snow or skate helmet is cheap insurance for a fall.
Sharpening — how often?
Every 10 to 20 hours of skating, or when the edges feel slick. Always dry the blades and use soakers after skating; rust ruins a blade faster than dullness.

Recreational skating and my swim kit share the fit-beats-brand gospel — snug skates and warm layers. Helmet for beginners and kids is the cheap insurance, agreed.
