Best Answer

You choose your hockey skates on a few main criteria. The criteria are the skaters level of experience and the budget that you want to stay with-in. Also, the use of the skate will play a role on which skate to select.

Ice Hockey skates range from beginner to expert level skates. Depending on your skill level, you can narrow down a certain grouping of skates to chose from. If you are a beginner skater then you want to select a beginner skate, the technical aspects will be different then an expert skate. Hockey skates also vary in price, they can can range anywhere from $50-$650. So based on your personal finances, you will have a budget to stay with-in. On a side note, you can usually get a deal on last years model or a close-out model, this way you can get a more technical skate for a lower price.

Last, the use of the skate. If you are just going out to pond skate then you need a pair of skates that are comfortable and usually on the lower end of the price range. You will not need skates that are expensive just to go out and have some fun. But if you are a series league skater then you need the higher technical skates.
