Ice skates come in different stiffness and weight and need to be fitted according to the skater's level and ability. It is very important to select the right pair of ice skates, because if the ice skates are too advanced for your level they will impair your ability to learn and will create more difficulty during the learning process then help you achieve your goals faster. Picking figure skates that are too low for your level is also a bad idea. They will not provide enough support during the various skating elements you might perform.
Ice skating dresses are a very important part of a figure skater's attire. Different musical programs have a certain theme to them and of course the outfit should fit with the music.

A necessity to all ice skaters. Skate guards are used to protect figure skating blades from damage which can happen if you walk on a hard surface or if you step on something other than a rubber floor mat. Ice Skates Soakers are used to absorb the moisture and to protect the blade from the elements, they help to reduce or completely remove the corrosion.
Every skater has to carry their gear somewhere so we carry a wide variety of bags for every taste. Small ice skating bags or big we got them all. For the most part the bag that stands out the most is the Zuca Bag, Zuca is a company based out of Milpitas, CA. It was originally designed by a mom who did want her kid to carry so many heavy books in school and as we may know the books in school are extremely heavy nowadays. Zuca bags are made of two parts - the frame and the insert. Zuca Inserts come in a plethora of different colors and designs, over a hundred Zuca Insert designs to be precise can be found in our Figure Skating Store. The frame is what makes the Zuca Bag an incredible piece of luggage. Zuca frame can support up to 300 lbs. of weight and is made from aircraft grade aluminum to be as light as possible for a metal bag. Zuca bags have a telescoping handle and 4 wheels. Two of the wheels light up by a small dynamo located inside of the wheels. It generates electricity and produces a light when the bag is rolling. The frame comes in seven different colors and can be combined with any Zuca Sport Insert to make up an enormous amount of possible combinations. You can be as creative with your Zuca bag as you want, the possibilities are endless.
