We will only stock top brand name skates, from companies with a proven track record for producing top quality products with excellent after sales support. You may pay a little more for these brands, but you can be sure they will stand up to the stresses and strains that skating puts on them. The old adage, 'you get what you pay for' is never more true than in the field of skating!

Canadian company providing great quality ice skates for all levels of ice skating. Jackson skates are strong and lightweight and very competitive on price.
Skates are usually low ankle boots with blades attached only at the toe. A spring keeps the heel of the blade in place against the boot, but it is allowed to separate during the push to keep the whole of the blade in contact with the ice for longer. The blades then flick back against the stop, making a loud ‘clap’, hence the name, clap skates
