Do I need to sharepn brand new skates?

I got a pair of new hockey skates the other day in the mail.


This is my first pair that I've ever owned, so this is my question.


Do I NEED to have them sharpened before going onto the rink over the weekend?

You don't. Use them, get use to the feeling and then sharpen them as you please. I have one of these, and is amazing the price they are giving it for. Its like a new pen, in the beginning it wont write to prevent accidents they place a bit of wax, after is purchase you take the risk.


Enjoy your new skates and win.


Merry Xmas!
Reply:i would look that up maybe the place you bought them from can offer some advice.
Reply:You would think that you don't need to, but you'd be surprised how crude the blade edge can be right out of the factory. I would recommend getting them sharpened to make sure you get the best performance from them.
Reply:yes and get some1 else to wear em in so u wont get blissters
Reply:I'm almost 100% sure that most skates come from the factory without a hollow on the blade. I would definately take them in to a proshop to get sharpened. Talk to them about hollow radius because this factor is very important when it comes to skating and should be tailored to your weight and skating style. Good luck!
Reply:Well you dont have to get them sharpened. However sharpened skates are alot easier to skate with.
