枫下沙龙 / 休闲娱乐 / Questions about buying ice-skatesYesterday 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.

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?

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.
