  • 枫下沙龙 / 休闲娱乐 / Questions about buying ice-skates -sailor(Sailor); 2001-1-14 {430} (#21618@0)
    Yesterday I went to Canadian Tire and found so many types of skates there. As a tropical person, I totally have no idea about it. I'm wondering the following:

    1, What's the difference between hocky skates and figure skates?

    2, What should I pay attention to when buying skates?

    3, What's the quality difference between cheap ones and expensive ones? They look similar!

    Thanks in advance for your kindly response.

      球刀的刃是平的，从侧面看前后都是弧形的。滑行的时候主要靠两边的刃，易于转弯。但是一开始不好掌握，很容易摔跤。
      花刀的刃中间又一个凹槽，比较容易在冰上站立，也比较好控制。
      如果你从来没有滑过冰，我建议你卖花刀。
      好与坏的区别在于刀刃和鞋的结合怎么样。再有就是刀的钢口。
      鞋一定要舒服，否则没有一会脚就受不了了。平常的经验是买比你的其他鞋小一号的冰鞋。脚脖子是关键。有些滑冰场用的是高筒、硬帮的冰鞋，初学的时候因为脚脖子没有力气，有利于掌握平衡，但是熟练了以后，就会感觉太受束缚了
      • Thank you, David! btw, Could you recommend any sport shop selling skates? (in Toronto) -sailor(Sailor); 2001-1-14 (#21622@0)
        • I guess generally only Canadian Tire and Walmart or Zellers have the cheapest deal. Personally I don't remember some stores like FootLocker or stores in King Street W (MEC or Europe Bound) carrying such shoes. Did you try to search toronto.com? -guest:; 2001-1-14 (#21628@0)
        • No man's figure skates in these super stores. I suggest you go to some special sports shops. Unless you like the hokey skates for man. -ali(Ali); 2001-1-15 (#21757@0)
