New ice skates or used ones?

I%26#039;m still a beginner in ice skating but i love it and decided to get a pair but i don%26#039;t know if i should get new ones or old ones


some people say that old ones are easier to skate with than new ones but i found these new ice skates in a store w/ a rather cheap price and has a huge urge to buy it

New ice skates or used ones?
I have found that it%26#039;s always best to get new skates. They kept telling me every time I got a pair that it would be hard and painful to break them in, but it was always pretty easy, I just had to take about a week and do a lot of basic things until I was able to go back to my old schedule. Don%26#039;t buy any cruddy skates, though! I had a really tough time learning because I was in a pair of skates that cost $25, and they were fine until I knew I wanted to skate. If you%26#039;re just testing skating out, then get the really cheap ones, but if you really want to progress, go for ones that are $40 - $50, they%26#039;re worth it.
Reply:Hi. I%26#039;m Monica. The rentals at my rink sucked, so after my second lesson, I went to Play it again Sports and bought a used pair for 20$. The advantages? They were already broken in, they were dirt cheap, they are still good skates, they are cool. Disadvantages? They were old, they were falling apart, they need lots of TLC. However, I am also a beginner/intermediate skater, and my birthday is next week. My friends have decided that they want to all chip in t get me my dream skates. They are Riedell Bronze Medallions, because I didn%26#039;t want too expensive skates, anyway, I reccomend Riedells all the way. By the way, I would love it if this were your best answer!
Reply:Well, it depends how old the skates are. If they%26#039;re only a few months and less than a year, then the older skates would be better since they%26#039;re broken in and it will be easier for you to bend your knees.


But if you can%26#039;t find any slightly used skates, then I%26#039;d go for the new ones. They don%26#039;t take that long to get used to and are very nice. Especially if you have enough money for them, you might as well buy the new ones.
Reply:New ones are really great, but require breaking in, as do many skates. It%26#039;s worth it though, because thay are new and your own!
Reply:Well. So did I, so did I...





But I%26#039;m not taking lessons and am relatively a beginner. Kind of jumping around from Alpha to Freestyle 1. Haha. If you are taking lessons, ask your coach. But only with a pinch of salt.





I wanted new skates, and since the one and only pro shop in my area sells only Risport skates, I was aiming for Risport RF4, which cost around SGD$280 for a new pair. But while waiting for it to arrive, there was this really new pair of RF4 in my size-- or rather half a centimetre bigger and the person insisted that i%26#039;ll grow even though I haven%26#039;t for the past five years--, and guess what? It%26#039;s SGD$200! By really new i mean ONE MONTH old. I still have to break it in. If you%26#039;re not in a hurry to buy a pair, wait.





Good things come when you wait. Don%26#039;t get something that doesn%26#039;t look maintained. Trust yourself. Do you want a cheap price or a lasting and comfy skates? It%26#039;s all you. Cheap doesn%26#039;t mean it%26#039;s bad though. You have to see how%26#039;s it for yourself.
Reply:New, with used it isn%26#039;t formed to your foot but rather someone else%26#039;s foot. I have Jackson%26#039;s and I like them. They feel good and are great for beginning skaters. What kind are you looking at?
Reply:Old ones are easier to skate in because they are broken in; just make sure they aren%26#039;t broken down. If you are not planning on becoming competative anytime soon, buying cheaper used skates is a good way to go. But, once you start competing, I would not recommend used boots. New skates are always great if you can remember to be patient while breaking them in.
