                                                                              Why Buying Cheap Skates isn’t Always the Most Economical Choice

                                                                              Posted by Anthony Thomas
                                                                              Pandemic related restrictions have led many ice hockey players to buy, or consider buying, inline skates so that they can do some skating outdoors. Unfortunately, some of those skaters found out the hard way that buying a recreational skate isn’t always a great choice if you’re an experienced skater who skates hard, if you’re a heavier player or if you have very wide feet.
                                                                            2. Buying Inline Hockey Skates for Wide Feet

                                                                              Buying Inline Hockey Skates for Wide Feet

                                                                              Posted by Anthony Thomas

                                                                              First off, a lot of people think they have wide feet, but not everyone does.

                                                                              The biggest mistake people with wide feet make is buying a skate that’s too long in an attempt to accommodate width.

                                                                            Top
