Children's figure skates

Skates figure skates for children on offer at SportanoBefore children start their figure skating adventure in earnest, it is important for parents to choose the right equipment for them. Well-chosen skates not only make it easier to learn and develop skills, but are also crucial for the comfort and safety of young athletes. Inappropriate skates can lead to injuries, reduce motivation and make children quickly lose interest in this beautiful sport.How to Choosing the first pair: what parents should know?The decision to choose the first pair of skates for a child is extremely important and requires thought. Choosing the wrong equipment can not only make it more difficult for a child to learn to skate, but can also discourage them from continuing. Therefore, parents should pay attention to a few key aspects. Fit to the foot: the most important criterion is the fit of the skates to the child's foot. They must be neither too loose nor too tight. Skates that are too loose can be dangerous as the child may lose balance and fall, while skates that are too tight can cause chafing and discomfort, which in turn may discourage the child from skating. Quality of materials and construction: parents should also pay attention to the quality of the materials used and the construction of the skates. Blades made of stainless steel are durable and not subject to rapid wear, while boots made of plastic will be lightweight and also resistant to damage. It is also good to pay attention to the lacing system - it should be easy to operate even for small hands. Foot support and stability: foot support is another important criterion. Shoes should support the ankle stably to minimise the risk of injury. Some models are equipped with additional straps or locking systems to increase stability and safety. Adjustable sizes: as children grow quickly, skates with an adjustable size can be a good option. This allows them to be 'customised' to fit your child's growing feet and extend their lifespan. Reviews and recommendations: before making a purchase, parents should also consult other users or coaches and read reviews of specific models. This can be a valuable source of information to help make the best choice. Possibility of exchange or return: last but not least, it is also worth noting the possibility of exchanging or returning the skates in case they turn out to be unsuitable. For this reason, it is a good idea to buy equipment from reliable shops that offer such options. Choosing the right skates is an investment in your child's development and safety on the ice. It is therefore worth taking the time to do it consciously and with all the key aspects in mind.Height and size: how do you adapt skates to fit fast-growing feet? All parents are well aware that children grow like yeast, and that means their feet do too. In the context of figure skates, changing foot size can be quite a challenge, especially considering that good quality skates don't come cheap and ideally they should last as long as possible. Here are a few ways to tailor your choice of skates to suit your children's rapidly growing feet. One solution is size-adjustable skates. This way, one pair can be used for several seasons, and adjusting the size is usually a simple operation that can be done at home. However, it is important to remember that even the best adjustment is no substitute for a perfect fit, so if your child's feet change size significantly, you may need to consider buying new skates. Another consideration is to anticipate changes in foot size. Some parents buy skates one size larger, hoping their children will grow into them. However, this is a risky method, as skates that are too big will not provide adequate support for the foot and ankle, which can lead to poor technical habits and increase the risk of injury. It is also a good idea to use extra insoles, which can be gradually removed as the child's foot grows. This reassures parents that the skates are tight enough to provide adequate support, but still offer some space to 'grow up'. And don't forget regular visits to a sports equipment fitting specialist. Professional measurements and fit analysis can be invaluable in the context of growing feet. It may be that minor modifications are necessary, such as thermal adjustment of the shoe or, in extreme cases, the purchase of new equipment.Materials and construction: what will work for the little ones? In terms of materials and construction, skates for children should be made of durable but lightweight materials that will not put too much strain on little feet. A good choice is skates with a firm but flexible plastic boot that will provide adequate support. The blades should preferably be made of stainless steel, which is resistant to corrosion and wear. Some modern models of children's skates also have special orthopaedic inserts to help maintain correct posture and prevent foot problems.
