The Off-Ice Problem

A free guide for ice figure skaters, parents, and coaches.

Most off-ice skating setups quietly work against the technique you are paying for on ice. Not because skaters train wrong. Because the equipment most skaters train on has the wrong geometry. And geometry does not care how hard you work.

Inside the guide: why three wheels give two balance zones and four give three, the five ways two-zone training follows a skater back onto the ice, what correct off-ice training looks like, and a one-page checklist for evaluating any off-ice setup. Ten minutes to read. Honest about what wheels cannot do.

Check your boot

Select your boot and this returns the EDGE frame that fits. Use it as a cross-check against the sole measurement you just took.

CHECK

This is a guide. Your own sole measurement, taken using the steps above, is the number that decides your order. If the two disagree, trust the boot in front of you.

Risport Edea Jackson Aura
How it works: An EDGE frame needs at least its own size in sole length, so this picks the largest frame at or below the sole. Edea and Jackson list sole directly. Risport and Aura list blade only, so sole is estimated as blade + 5mm. Sole under 210mm means no frame fits yet. Estimated sizes near a frame line are flagged to measure. Confirm against the real boot before ordering.
