Ice Figure Skates

Please find a sample of our range. We want you to come to the shop to be properly fitted with the most suitable boots and blades for your standard and budget. If the price is not shown, please give us a call. We always try to give the most competitive price for a ‘real’ shop which actually has the goods.

Our (extensive) stock includes the UK range of Risport, Edea, Graf, Jackson Ultima, New English, Roma & Stateside Classic. Prices of sets (including blade) start from £45.00. We stock from size 24 (UK 8 jun) – 46/47 (UK 12).

We also supply all models of John Wilson, Mk & Ultima, figure & dance blades. Most sizes of Coronation Ace are in stock along with Gold Seal & Pattern 99, together with Ultima Elite and Legacy. MK & Wilson blades will be cheaper in the UK than US as they are manufactured in Sheffield.

(Please note, re skate sharpening service, we prioritise customers who have bought skates from us.   Proof of purchase is required.)

On Sizes

As a general rule, you should buy ice skates as close to the accurate foot size as possible. Assuming the boots are good quality and sufficiently strong, it is possible to wear them up to one size larger than the feet measure. Make sure you buy strong leather (never plastic) boots with good instep and heel supports. Soft ice skating boots are dangerous and must be avoided! The blade should be of good quality steel for it to retain its sharpening. If you see very cheap skates – ask yourself why? You get what you pay for.

Blades

We stock Patt 99, Gold Seal  & Cor Ace Blades (John Wilson, MK & Ultima).
