This guide to buying skates will help you decide on which model suits your needs for you level, eight, and weight. This is our most recommended brand due to the quality for the money spent. Please talk with your coach regarding reccomendations prior to purchasing skates. If you have sizing or orthopedic issues, it is reccommended that you go to a skate shop rather than purchase directly from a retailer. Below is a list of retailers that sell Don Jackson skates. Just a reminder…if you order your skates online to ship directly to you, they will need to be sharpened prior to the first use. vIf you go through a skate shop, the sharpening should be included in the pricing.
