How to choose skates for the child

Skating is capable to develop sense of equilibrium, endurance, a fine bearing and speed of reaction at the child, without telling it any more about that how many the advantage and joy will bring a joint campaign on a skating rink or sports section. But here the choice of suitable stock can drag on, despite a variety, pick up the skates suitable in all respects happens very not easy.

Instruction

1. Surely pick up skates precisely for the size to avoid injuries and to provide to the child's leg comfort. It is desirable to make fitting on dense, but not too thick sock, approximately such what he will put on also on a skating rink. Carefully lace up the chosen skates directly in shop and look whether the heel adjoins to a back densely and whether the ankle is reliably recorded.

2. Be defined in volume, rigid or soft skates will suit your child more. Rigid plastic skates reliably fix a leg, preserving against dislocations and stretchings, but at the same time limit freedom of action. Such skates are preferable to the child who is engaged in hockey section. Soft skates from genuine or imitation leather it is more convenient in a sock and allow to move more freely, it is better to use them in section of figure skating and that who rides occasionally for own pleasure.

3. Pay attention to edges which have to have smooth edges, good sharpening and a fillet along all edge. The lack of a fillet is admissible only on skates of experienced athletes and is absolutely excluded in case the child rides. Length of an edge can be different, but remember, the it is more, the maneuverability on ice is less.

4. Try to get skates only in the checked sports shops, giving preference to famous brands. Cheap analogs and fakes can consist of low-quality materials. Such edges are quickly in a stupor, jagged, become covered with rust that negatively affects quality of driving. The block from low-quality raw materials does not allow a leg to breathe, does not provide reliable fixing and also quickly bursts. All this can lead not only to short service life, but also to receiving a trauma by the child which could be avoided.
