Hockey is a sport enjoyed by children and adults alike. No matter your age, it is important that your hockey skates fit properly in order to achieve optimal results. By following a few easy tips, you can ensure the selection of a proper pair of hockey skates.
Step 1
Choose a pair of hockey skates in a style 1 ½ sizes smaller than your regular shoe size---or 1 size smaller for those with wide feet.
Step 2
Put on the pair of socks you will usually wear when wearing the skates for games. Place the foot into the hockey skate, making sure it is in place by lightly tapping the butt of the hockey skate on the ground.
Step 3
Lace both skates to the top securely, making sure that the last four rivets or loops are especially tight.
Step 4
Walk around in the store wearing the skates, paying attention to the feel of the skates. Be aware of any pressure points or slippage. The proper pair of hockey skates should feel comfortable and secure on your feet.
