The right „setting“ for each performance level

What is the right boot model?

We make a distinction between pure leisure skating and figure skating training, as these
two large groups have different needs. While the first group focusses on comfort and
security, the latter takes more interest in performance, support and flexibility.

Some models are only suitable for leisure skating (WIFA DUO), some for both, leisure
skating AND figure skating training (Prima, Prima Intermediate, Champion Light), and others
are competition boots. With the help of our model guide, you will be able to determine
what category you feel to belong to.

What are the right blades?

We use the word „set“ for combo offers of boots with blades mounted. For „SETS“ no
charges apply for the mounting service.

We work together with the best blade manufacturers. Even our beginner blades Mark II
(Ultima, Canada) and Flight (MK, GB) are made of best, mirror-chromed steel. They have a
good industrial ready to skate sharpening for pure recreational skaters. For beginners
it will be sufficient to sharpen the blades once a year.

Are the blades to be sharpened?

For leisure skaters the industrial sharpening is basically sufficient – our brand blades are made of
excellent steel and have a good industrial sharpening.

For first figure skating courses though, we recommend a standard figure skating sharpening
(SETs with Mark II or Flight blades). Skilled skaters who opt for the better set with cross pick
competition blades can decide whether they go for a standard sharpening with polishing or even
a professional sharpening. For competition blades, a professional sharpening is a must.
