Hi everyone, posting here on behalf of my partner who’s interested in purchasing some recreational skates to go skating with me!
He plans on going once a week with me and just doing basic forward skating + laps around the rink. Nothing advanced, just skating for fun! He’s decently speedy on the ice in rentals, but they always cause him lots of pain/soreness after a public session.
He’s 5’9 and roughly 190-200 pounds, with pretty wide feet. Ideally, he doesn’t want to spend any more than $250. However given his height and weight, it’s understandable that he may possibly need more supportive skates (even just for basic skating), which tend to run more expensive. If that’s the case, he plans on just saving up a little more for better skates that would give him proper support.
Any recommendations would be super appreciated! Thanks again
