Question Hi!
I have a friend who is starting to skate and needs a reccomendation on a good beginner boot to purchase. I am not a Quad skater - I figure skate so I don't know where to send her. I know that Riedell, Harlick, and SP Teri also make these.
Thanks.

Answer Hi,
I am on a cruise right now and not able to look up any of the information for contacting the boot companies.
You are right on the mark as far as type of boots. You might be able to search the internet for those brands and i am sure that you will be able to find one for you that works.
Figures need a stiffer boot than Dance or Freestyle so keep that in mind. They will advise you.
