Glide Through Ice Skating

Ice skating is a great winter pass time but blisters can really put a damper on the fun.  A great way to prevent your ice skates from causing you pain is to make sure they fit! Be sure to bring along the socks or tights you plan on wearing with your ice skates because a slight change in sock thickness can greatly change the fit of your skate.  Buy your skates at a store with a professional who is trained it fitting.  Be sure your skates are not too tight or too loose, this ensures that they will not cause rubbing and blisters.  Also, go shopping in the afternoon because this is when your feet are the most swollen and ensures you to get the best fit.
