It’s hard to be a casual skater in Minnesota. It’s so hockey-mad that you can scarcely step foot on a sheet of ice without dodging a stick-waving child prodigy, slewing between the skaters in a beat up hockey helmet.
But we’re giving it a go anyway at our house anyway. I finally got a good pair of skates.
I was astounded how fantastic these skates are. They’re generations better than the ones I learned to skate in, and some of most comfortable footwear I have. I love the pneumatic ankle padding and the fit.
For the first time ever, I really like skating and understand how someone can get better at it.
