It would be possible to stop at this, but something tells me that this option does not suit you. As a woman, I absolutely agree with you. Therefore, we turn to the second option. After all, you love your legs? They are so fragile, pampered, delicate. And most importantly - for all women they are different and unpredictable. This means that when choosing skates for figure skating, you first need to try them on. The size of your request will pick up the seller. I think that for the sake of a one-time purchase, you should not bother about the scale of sizes. Like any footwear, try on shoes for pantyhose or a sock. Do not be lazy and do the lacing completely, tighten the shoe on the leg in such a way that you feel comfortable. Remember, there should be no free space in the boot, it should fit the shape of your foot. This condition is important because figure skating is a very mobile sport, in which a lot of muscles and tendons are involved. The more tightly your foot joins with the boot, the less risk of injury from riding. If you have decided on the size, tightened the lacing, felt "comfort" - do not be shy to stand on your foot completely and make at least one step. This step will be decisive in your choice. Listen to your favorite legs, they will certainly tell you what to do next. If it is convenient and nothing fetters your movements - then the choice is correct. If there are any doubts - do not be too lazy to try on another model, believe me, your legs will be very grateful to you later.
Naturally, the convenience of skates will depend on the material from which they are made. Firms-manufacturers offer different variants with an orientation to different "wallets". I dare to remind you that you do not want evil to your legs, so try to please them in this. There are shoes that are made of plastic, polyurethane and other synthetic materials. Such skates will be strong enough and flexible. For those women who prefer beauty and grace, this will be an appropriate option. Especially for fashionistas manufacturers offer very cute models, with rhinestones, drawings, all sorts of snowflakes and other decoration. After all, if on the ice skate figuratively, then why do not we look elegant ?! Such models are more suitable for beginners, who are not yet ready to perform complex elements of figure skating.
Most women still give preference to natural skin. In these shoes, there is more chance of not freezing (the ice rink is still ice!), They do not let the moisture in and easily take the shape of your foot. Skin is skin and priorities are different for people. If you care about the price issue, then naturally such skates will be more expensive, but they will wear out faster (they will lose their form more accurately).
As for any footwear, including sports footwear, it is necessary to look after skates. Blades are afraid of rust, this should be remembered if you want to ride successfully, without problems. Nothing special to do is not worth it, but simply after each skiing wipe them dry. It will be useful to dry shoes after a skiing session, because the shoes absorb moisture from ice and sweat. Do not leave dry the skates on the battery or near an open fire. When the season of skiing ends, before removing the skates for long-term storage, blades should be oiled with engine oil - this will be a reliable protection against rust.
And one more thing: the blades may become dull with time, so you should pay attention to your skates and give them to the specialist for sharpening. If, after buying skates, it turns out that they are not suitable or simply defective, they can be returned to the store, exchanged for the same model or at a more expensive one with a surcharge for fourteen days from the date of purchase (Article 25 of the Federal Law "On Protection of Consumer Rights" ").
I think it will not be superfluous to recall that skates should be sent to the sports goods store. And do not forget that along with skates you need to purchase protective covers for blades. Now you know how to choose skates for figure skating.
Go for a drive in pleasure!
