Skates
The skates I have found most reliable in my figure skating journey. Wonderful full skate options, as well as separate blades & boots depending on preference.
These Jackson skates, boots, and blades are super reliable. My first pair of skates I got in 2002 and are still in tact, then my current and second pair are 12 years old in mint condition. Quality boots and overall skates.
Jackson Skate
My very first custom pair of skates were Riedell boots and are still in good shape 31 years later. They are an incredible investment for sports lovers and have so many products not just figure skating boots, blades, or skates!
Riedell Shoes Inc
Love the new blades and the ever improving blade technology. Wonderful quality. Gives many skates before needing a reset with sharpening. My overall favorite if I could choose blades on any skate.
Jackson Ultima Legacy 8 Figure Skating Blades
Another great skate option. The Silecky Sports blades are incredible too. I love the graf for their blade and option to get the new Graf Diamond blade.

Gloves are a necessity. The thinner gloves are nice to be able to do other things while skating.
Thin Gloves
For additional warmth or a fashsion statement piece, these leg warmers are a great option for skating.
Leg Warmers
Able to stay warm but regulate your temperature nicely when working out hard and getting sweaty. Great winter item for outside sports.

Not needed but a great option to stay warm if needed. A needed item when skating at an outside rink.

Tights
Stay fashionable warm and work out without tearing them tights! These are the tights and leggings I found the most sturdy.
Very thick tights that work wonderfully. Many styles, textures, looks, and colors. Options for over the boot as well which I loved but would wear through over 1-2 months of daily use and washing daily.
Mondor Tights
Another great tight option and is my second go-to. I prefer the fun rhinestones style of this brand. Good quality and many different options with colors, fashionable looks, and over/in boot styles, etc.

Fantastic warmth option to add into your gloves or any part of you that is cold.

Great bands to work on resistance, strength, and flexibility training on or off the ice. Would recommend for warm ups before going on the ice.
