Used skates:  Locally, Karen Bumgarner (listed in the Shop section below) sells used skates.  You can also search for local used figure skates on the WFSC Buy/Sell Facebook group (https://www.facebook.com/groups/544588591038954/), local Facebook Marketplace or look for a US Facebook group that sells used figure skating gear.    


New skates:  There are no local new skate sellers in Wenatchee.  Skates can be purchased at several stores located in the Shop section below.

  • Proper fit is critical; having your foot measured correctly is essential.  A skate fitter will select a skate appropriate for your skating level and help you fit your boot properly. ​
  • Figure skates are readily available online at sites like Amazon and the FigureSkatingStore.com.  Measure your foot using the manufacturer's guidelines.  ​


Wipe off your blades and use cloth "soakers" to cover your blades in your skate bag so that the blades do not scratch or nick.  Blade/hard guards are used to protect your blades when you are walking around the rink.  Don't store your blades with hard guards on; the moisture trapped in the guard will cause your blade to rust. Soakers and guards can be purchased online. 

​

"Air out" your skates to prevent mildew and prolong the life of the padding inside the skate.  Don't leave skates in a hot car for extended periods of time. 

​

Blades should be sharpened about every 40 hours of ice time.   Skaters need to take their skates to be sharpened by someone that specializes in sharpening figure skates.  Coach Paul Kapeikis can do it locally.

Skating Socks

Used to keep laces tucked into the skate and looking nice.  Recommended for skating shows/competitions.  Optional for practices.  

My daughter liked the Mondor brand the best.  She thought they didn't run as badly.

** Microfiber towels are best for drying blades.

Spinners

Spinner (cheap): https://a.co/d/eAExOMl

  * the cheaper spinners are all the same, just different labels/colors

Edea Spinners: https://a.co/d/5bDPvKl or https://a.co/d/fXsAFTC


DONT get the CRS spinner (https://a.co/d/2Rzem4V).  It doesn't work well for figure skaters.  Spins too fast/freely.

Skate Laces

Jackson Laces: https://a.co/d/5mFFAoC

I was told the Elite brand laces do not hold up well.

Moves in the Field App

free

On Google play (and maybe apple), there is an app called Moves in the Field.  The icon says MITF with a blue background.  This is great if your skater need a little extra coaching between lessons on what they are doing.
