you should look at their reccomendation chart for boots and blades


good luck with your skating! (p.s. i love figure skating but i hate the cold, isn%26#039;t that weird?)
Reply:good skates are going to be a bit more expensive than that. but i dont know, i once got a pair for $30. they werent great, but they worked well enough for beginner level. i bought them on %26quot;ebay.com%26quot; just search %26quot;figure skates%26quot; and possibly your size as well that should get you some decent deals. but again, skates arent cheap, so you have to decide whether you want good and more expensive, or good enough and cheap. hope i helped!!!!
Reply:A good brand of skate that will get you from beginning lessons up to beginning jumps and spins would be Riedell (riedellskates.com). They have a chart you can check for their suggested boot/blade models for your skill level. You can order Riedells online many places, but if it%26#039;s possibly, get properly fitted by someone with experience. Skates do not run true to shoe size. I%26#039;d hate to see you order them and have them not fit! Get your size/width and an idea of what you%26#039;re looking for and hit the internet. You%26#039;d probably want something from the ribbon or medallion series. Remember though, if you get skates that are intended for a much higher level, you may have a hard time breaking them in. Jacksons are also another good beginning brand. Once you find a good boot/blade set recommendation, also check eBay. There you can find used skates a little cheaper. Sometimes, but not often, you can find better quality skates at used sporting goods stores. Usually they have the type of skates that are only made for a few laps around the rink a year, but every once in awhile, you can find decent used freestyle skates at a steal! I was in the market for new blades and happened upon some at one of those stores. They were on a nice Harlick boot and were hardly used. Normally the boot and blade together would be about $800.....I got the set for $54 and the blades just-so-happened to be my size. :) Good luck!
Reply:There are not a lot of places where you can buy cheap skates. If you are looking for cheaper skates that are still good to use try looking in a donation store like Goodwill ( in United states) or look in ice rinks and see if they are having any skate sales.
Reply:places like ***** and target sell ice skates. They may not be the best but they are cheap and work for beginners
