How to Choose Your First Figure Skates
Choose first figure skates by using rentals for initial lessons, then working with a reputable figure-skate fitter when regular practice justifies ownership.
The best first skate is the one that fits the skater, the current skills, and the qualified fitter's assessment. We compare real tradeoffs and leave advanced boot prescriptions to people who can see the feet and skating in front of them.
