2. Durability – Brands like Supreme, CCM, and Nike Bauer are built to last, even under heavy use.

3. Purpose – Decide whether you’re skating for fun, fitness, hockey, or style. Different skates are made for different goals.

4. Budget-Friendly Options – Don’t break the bank. Refurbished and alternative skates can give you top quality at a fraction of the price.
