Because "thanks" doesn't seem to cover it, we'll say "Happy Mother's Day" instead πππ
We skaters would not be who we are without you βΈοΈ
Through driving to practice, getting our skates taken care of and fitted, trying on dresses, competition day craziness, the sweat, the blood, the tears, thank you for being there for us!
Special shout out to Dawn for being there for Claire in all the years of skating, and now almost seven years of running Skater's Edge
β¨πβ¨
Happy New Skate Day to Lillian! π
Lillian and the @jackson.ultima Freestyle Fusions go together like Claire and coffee π₯°
Her toes outgrew her last pair, so to finish up the last few single jumps we decided to do it again!
β We'll never try to sell you a higher level or stronger boot if it's not right for your skater. Skates tougher than the skater can lead to...
β οΈ Lace bite
β οΈ Shin and tendon inflammation
β οΈ Frustrating break-in period that goes on forever
β οΈ Unintended or misplaced boot stress -- if it can't move as designed it'll try to move another way, which might not be the right way!
β
We're all about the juuuust right skate for each skater π
β¨ Comfy ankle flex
β¨ Predictable and steady boot break-in
β¨ Gradual wear-down of the skate over 9-15 months of skating (we hope!)
β¨ Happy skaters π
If new skates are part of your spring season set-up schedule your fitting appointment with us today! Though the weather is warming up we're still booking a day or two out so it's always best to secure your spot on our calendar π
Happy Skating! βΈ

Here's a fun Before and After!
New skate in the middle, old pair flanking left and right β¨
Skater is a local coach who still skates for herself, and she said she was feeling the ankles not holding very well after long hours on the ice.
Same @riedell.ice 2010 Fusion boot, we changed NOTHING for her. But check out the change in shape, toebox tapering, and tongue stiffness! She said the new boots felt so much better π₯°
Letting go can be hard but we're here to help you through it! Book your fitting appointment with us today π

Happy New Skate Day to Lucy!
We just can't keep up with this skater's growing feet π
But her skills have progressed to the point of being able to manage the @jackson.ultima Fusion series and their wider toebox design.
We think the Elle will help her single jumps come along nicely and also be ready if additional skating days are on the calendar this year π Paired with a new support insole and hard guards and she's all set!

A very Happy New Skate Day to Charlotte! π
You got a sneak-peek of this skater's story yesterday π
Her old skates were gigantic on her and she had no idea!
She came in for a fitting because she thought the support was dying.
True!
She was also in a boot THREE whole sizes too big for her.
We put her in an appropriately sized boot and she IMMEDIATELY felt more control under her feet. Her final pick of the @jackson.ultima Freestyle Fusion felt great after heat molding and after putting the blade in the right position for her.
We think proper control and fit will make a huge difference in Charlotte's skating! π

Can you say right-sizing?! π±
This poor skater was suffering in skates THREE WHOLE SIZES TOO BIG β οΈ
β No shame or hate to the brand
β No shame or hate to the parents
Mistakes like these are SO EASY to make when trying to buy skates secondhand or online π
... You try the size that the size guide recommends based on your measurements and it feels tight π£
... So you go up a half size or a full size π΅π«
... And if that still feels funny maybe you try your shoe size and that feels good at first...
... And after a few weeks of skating you can't get the boot tight enough or you can't feel where your rocker is under your toe as you learn harder skills π
We see this all the time.
It's hard to know what new figure skates are SUPPOSED to feel like.
That's why we're here π
Booking for fittings is open for just this occasion!

Happy New Skate Day to Beth! π
She was incredibly uncomfy in her old skates after a few kids and a long time off the ice had changed her feet π
We thought we'd give some comfort adjustments a try, but after looking at her old skates and how her feet were shaped, we switched to a fitting!
Our @risportskates Scott Hamilton set met all her comfort and support goals, and after we punched out the toes a bit she was even happier π
Happy Skating! βΈ

Don't forget to dry! π³
Moisture hides and seeps EVERYWHERE on your skates π
Find it and wipe it as best you can to help keep your skates in secure and sound condition π
Our best tip? Air-drying the skates to allow everything to warm up to room temp and letting all the moisture evaporate outside the skate bag!
Give it a try-- your skates will thank you! π
