Buying Used Skates
To preface, I don’t play ice hockey but I want to get into it. I play roller and ball at the moment. Finding skates that don’t cost a fortune have been difficult to me and a play it again has a pair of 3S skates that felt really good for $60 and I’d be trading stuff in for store credit that may cover the whole cost. My issue is that I never know how well a skate fits until I use them because I only start to feel pain 5-10 minutes into a session.
The issue is they are definitely used and I don’t have experience with really worn skates as I don’t play roller that hard/often. Here’s a listing I found on sls that has similar wear. Cant remember off the top of my head if it’s better or worse than the play it again skates. Would you buy skates in this condition for $60/store credit?
