Im thinking of buying a pair of ice skates skatehut.co.uk - Is this a good site? And Risport RF4 good? I want a pair of ice skates Risport - RF4
It £ 100 on Skate Hut (skatehut.co.uk)
Has anyone bought from there before?
Are they a safe, secure site?
Have you had problems?
Risport RF4 is also an ice skating good buy?
Thank you (:
RF4 is a good skateboard to do single jumps in. I would not recommend it to beginners because it will bend the knees more difficult, Altea or Star Line Risport are best suited for them, but honestly, I Beginner put in something like Davos or mystical graf Jackson.
Another issue is sizing. Figure skates size does not correspond to shoe sizes, figure skates and must be equipped, ideally by a pro shop. If you have never bought shoes before ordering online may not be the best idea, to be honest. Usually people order online when they want a second pair of the mark exactly they already have.
I do not know why one of the posters above said Risport is not a good image. There are Olympic skaters skating Risport. It does however fit a very specific form of the foot (like all brands of skates really), not everyone is able to stand Risports, just as not everyone can wear Graf or Jacksons (and not all the world looks good in a skirt, whatever, it's a matter of genetics and your body).
I suggest trying Closet Kinzie. They are an online retailer renowned and international shipping.
Risport is * not * a good brand. Jackson & Riedel are good brands.
I'm afraid I can only answer a question.
I ice skating Risport RF4 and personally I think they are very good. I've never had a pair of ice skates (them), so I can not be the best person to ask. They do not really scratch easily and are very comfortable.
I bought my pair from the shop at my local rink, but you can buy them online from. The only problem is that you can see them or try to see if you like them and they are well.
Good luck with what you finally buy! :)
Try a pair in your shop first rink. Risports are very narrow. For Skateuk and star levels, they will be very good, but not much help if they do not match.
