Ice skating is a favorite winter (and with the advent of indoor skating rinks - not only winter) fun. Ice skating teaches great control of one's own body, coordination, seriously loads most of the muscles. Going to the ice rink is the best way to combine business with pleasure. It remains only to choose the right skates. As you know, skates are subdivided into hockey, figure and amateur (walking).

Instructions
Step 1
Outdoor skates are suitable for those who do not visit the skating rink too often and prefer just calm free skating. Here are some tips for choosing these skates:
- choose skates that fix the foot as tightly as possible;
- try on skates, after putting on the socks in which you are going to visit the rink (thin - for indoor, thick - for open air);
- check the sharpening of the skates - skates are not always sold with already sharpened blades;
- give preference to models with a rigid "glass". When choosing, pay the main attention to how comfortable it is for your foot in such skates.
Step 2
Hockey Skates Proper hockey skates should fit like a glove without causing the slightest inconvenience. It is unacceptable that the leg "walk" in the boot - it is fraught with injuries.
Step 3
Figure skates Choose shoes of medium rigidity - those that allow the leg to flex at the ankle when you do the squat Choose the size and fullness of the shoes as accurately as possible - the feet should completely fill their inner space. A leg loosely dangling in the shoe is a guarantee of injury.
