Ice Skates
When choosing ice skates for anyone of any age, fit is most important. The skates should fit snuggly, but they can not be too tight. If they are too loose, there is a higher chance of an ankle sprain. Always keep them laced all the way up so the ankle is supported, and also, remember that a lace on the ice means someone is going to take a spill. Children may have to get a new pair each year as their feet grow, so remember to see how the ice skates fit each winter before allowing them to put them on to skate.
