How good skates you choose depends not only on the quality of the game of hockey, but also on the amount of pleasure you get from this sport.
The skates must be made of durable and more or less rigid material so that the leg does not dangle in them and is fixed, otherwise you can easily earn yourself, at least, a dislocated ankle. Although in soft boots a person can move more freely. Therefore, focus on your level of professionalism. Thermoforming skates are considered to be the most comfortable, as they conform to the shape of your foot. You also need to choose the right size for your skates.
By far the main thing to check when buying skates is the blades. Firstly, their riveting to the boot should not be sloppy. Look at the structure of the blade, the structure should be as stable as possible.
In addition, when choosing skates, pay attention to the manufacturing company. Don't buy skates that are too cheap. They can rust very quickly, or their blade becomes dull very quickly.
