Igloo Skates is a figure skating specialty shop with over 30 years of experience. The new location offers an even better selection of boots, blades, and anything for figure skating, from dresses and practicewear to tights, guards, soakers, and skate bags. Appointments are required. Reviews consistently praise the shop as the best skate shop, a great family-run business, and an amazing, very friendly shop. The owners are described as fantastic, kind, and the best in the whole country. Customers express complete trust in them, noting they truly care about the sport and put the customer's interest first. They are grateful and cannot thank them enough. The expertise in fitting is highlighted repeatedly. The owners analyze feet and goals, explain everything needed to know, and work with the customer until they find the perfect, correct skate. They take time to explain why a skate is right, do not try to upsell to an inappropriate or most expensive boot, and take all feedback into account. They also provide clear instruction on problems on the ice and on correctly lacing the boot. This results in perfectly fitted skates that customers are absolutely happy with, allowing them to enjoy skating so much more. Many customers, including those who have moved away, will only go here for fittings and sharpening, stating no one else is allowed to touch their skates. They call it the best place to get skates that really work for you and feel lucky to have this store in the area.
Wonderful service and advice from a pro. It was fast and done correctly the first time around. Great place, keep it up.

Best skate shop I’ve ever been to! Mike will analyze your feet and your goals and tell you everything that you need to know about getting the right skates. His expertise shines through. If you are having a problem on the ice, he will tell you exactly why you’re having that problem. Will be coming only here in the future!

Absolutely amazing experience dealing with Mike and Cheryl. They both had so much patience with both my daughter and myself. They spent over an hour getting the perfect fitting, teaching me how to tie the skates and so much more information that I’m so grateful for and didn’t know I needed to know.
