The Skater's Edge WNY

Happy New Skate Day, Nina!! Skates of your own can be the key to a wonderful experience on the ice After a few tries with rentals, Nina was ready for skates just for her ... This @jackson.ultima Softec was just the thing for this Maryland girl to beat the Buffalo chill while she's here! Happy skating!! . . . . #skate716 #skatersedge #newskateday #figureskates #figureskating #iceskating #skateshop #proshop #skatingboutique #newskates #figureskatingpost #justskatingthings #lovetoskate #skatingisfun #jacksonultima #jacksonsoftec #comfyfeet #recreationalskating #winterfun #buffalowinter #buffalonewyork #716buffalo #wny #williamsville #buffalobusiness #shopsmallbusiness #shoplocalfirst #motherdaughterbusiness

Can I be honest with you? It's hard to come up with a summation of how the end of 2020 has me feeling. I ran the emotional gamut this last year. And now that it's coming to a close, I can't really identify the feelings ... Do some of you feel the same? About things that happened that you couldn't control? About things you missed out on? Or what you tried to do instead of the plan and it went pretty well? It's a lot to reflect on, and believe me I'm looking forward to turning the page on this last chapter! The one feeling I know I'm feeling is grateful WNY's only skate shop is still here, we're healthy, and we're coming up with new ways to serve skaters in 2020 . . . . #2021 #skate716 #practicegratitude #businessowner #buffaloentrepreneur #buffalonewyork #wny #williamsville #yearend #yearinreview #figureskater #iceskater #figureskating #skatetech #skateshop #proshop #reflectandgrow #alwayslearning #alwaysgrowing #empowher #womeninbusiness #motherdaughterbusiness #thisgirlmeansbusiness #makethebestofit

Double tap to say Happy New Skate Day to Vivian! We've got some 2020 New Skate Day celebrations carrying over to the new year, and Vivian's is a classic upgrade story. Her old skates weren't supportive enough for what she was working on.... Her old skates were WAY too big for her feet! Her coaches noticed the lack of ankle support and sent her our way. We're SO glad they did!! Now she's set with Jackson Ultima Freestyles that can give her foot the support it needs in the fit that's right for her Happy skating!! . . . . #skate716 #skatersedge #newskates #newskateday #skateshop #buffaloskates #figureskating #winterfun #skatingisfun #lovetoskate #figureskatingpost #justskatingthings #jacksonskates #jacksonultima #jacksonfamily #skatinglessons #equipmentupgrade #buffalonewyork #wny #amherstny #williamsville #buffalobusiness #welovebuffalo #buffaloentrepreneur #womeninbusiness #buffalocommunity #motherdaughterbusiness #shoplocalfirst

Merry Christmas from your friendly neighborhood skate shop! We hope you're celebrating safely, or enjoying a well-deserved rest See you on Tuesday 12/29!

Sometimes feet just hurt! They aren't supposed to Skates can last a long time if you take good care of them and if they're a strong support level. Bonus points if you take a TEN YEAR hiatus like Angela did! As a result, her trusty old Riedells that were fitted to her teenage feet didn't quite feel right to her adult feet. And because her skates still had support for her, she didn't think about getting new skates.... And then she met Riedell Skates - Ice Vega, and it was love at first lace! Paired with John Wilson Coronation Ace blades and you're good to go! Happy New Skate Day Angela!! We hope you and your new boots are very happy and COMFY together

If this is what 2021 is, I'll take it! If 2021 means new customers who come to me for my expertise, and reputation in the local skating world for solving foot problems, I'll take it! If 2021 means people rediscovering skating for the first time in YEARS I'll take it!... And if 2021 means having a camera roll full of foot profile photos to discuss with my foot mentor @houstonskateandsports so I can better support skaters, I'll take it!! We've got goals and plans like you won't believe I hope your new year is off to a smooth start as well Comment and let us know the best thing that's happened so far! . . . . #skate716 #skatersedge #figureskates #iceskates #iceskating #figureskating #skateshop #proshop #skatingboutique #skatefitting #newskates #skatepuzzles #happy2021 #newyearbetterme #footcare #foottips #riedellskates #jacksonultima #JacksonSkates #edeaskates #skatesus #buffalonewyork #wny #williamsville #amherstny #buffalocommunity #buffalobusiness #buffalosmalbusiness #shoplocalfirst #motherdaughterbusiness

A little sparkle to ensure your new year starts on the right note! This @mondor.performance vest includes EVERYTHING we love: Snowflake! Reflective decoration!... Polartec lining to keep you warm! See more

A figure skater's wish list Are any of these on your list this year?? We're wishing for good health, a skate bag big enough to hold everything, and SNOW!

Consistency is What does figure skating consistency look like? Consistent training on the ice... Consistently assessing your goals and progress towards them Consistent off-ice conditioning and muscle recovery Consistent skate care (boots and blades!) Consistent nutrition All 5 of these points are important but that last one truly doesn't get enough attention! Consistently fueling your body for the activity level you're at is a huge part of success as a skater. Now, Claire loves variety, but she's had the SAME pumpkin protein smoothie that tastes like almost every day this month In celebration of #NationalPumpkinDay check our stories for the recipe adapted from MyFitnessPal's blog! . . . . #skate716 #skatersedge #iceskating #iceskater #iceskates #figureskating #figureskater #figureskates #figureskaternutrition #consistencyiskey #consistenttraining #figureskatingtips #justskatingthings #figureskatingpost #icelife #rinklife #skatepractice #skatingisfun #figureskaterslife #buffalonewyork #buffalocommunity #716buffalo #buffalobusiness #womeninbusiness #empowher #nationalpumpkinday

Happy New Skate Day Katie!! When your family moves back to Buffalo, you get back to skating! We always say kids in WNY need to know how to skate like kids in Florida need to know how to swim it just makes sense!! We're so glad you found your @jackson.ultima Mystique skates to start you on the right foot! ... . . . . #skate716 #skatersedge #skateshop #skatingboutique #proshop #figureskating #figureskates #newskates #newskateday #icelife #rinklife #justskatingthings #figureskatingpost #skatingisfun #learntoskateusa #figureskaterslife #usfsa #jacksonultima #jacksonmystique #JacksonFamily #buffalonewyork #wny #williamsville #buffalocommunity #buffalobusiness #shoplocal #womenownedbusiness

Have you ever seen a happier #jackolantern ?! This one is excited to make your day with our TRICK OR TREAT SALE! Today through Saturday 10/31 you can draw from the jar a discount for your eligible purchase! ... But be careful.... There are a few tricks mixed in with the treats...

Is your Monday whizzing by like this #behindthescenes temp mount video?? Claire isn't really this quick when mounting! From aligning the center to prepping the sole, to drilling, to setting the screws, and finally checking straightness, blade mounting takes about 15-20 minutes ... And that doesn't count the blade balancing tests and further adjustments we make at your final fit appointment We take the time so your skates will glide fine! What's your boot and blade combo?? . . . #iceflys #edeaskates #edeafamily #skate716 #newskates #newboots #newblades #johnwilsonblades #coronationace #coronationacelite #skatersedge #figureskates #iceskates #figureskatingpost #justskatingthings #justskaterthings #loveyourskates #loveskating #skateboutique #proshop #skateshop #skatetech #womenintheworkshop #buffalonewyork #wny #buffalocommunity #buffaloentrepreneur #buffalobusiness #williamsville

Which sock do you think would make the best, most comfy skating sock?? Every skater has their own preference and comfort level, but due to the SNUG nature of a skate's fit we've found that the taller and thinner a sock is the better luck the skater will have being set for success on the ice! Read our blog post to learn more about the 5 ways skate socks affect your fit ... https://www.skatersedgewny.com//5-ways-your-skate-socks-af

When your mom skated competitively and got her skates from Skater's Edge, where do you think you'll be getting your skates from..? We're always so thrilled to see skaters returning to us year after year because we value that level of trust you have in us as your skate shop. We take that responsibility seriously ... But when it's the child of a long-time customer that's a whole new level! Happy new skate day Lilly!! Can't wait for those @iskateriedell Pearls hiding in the box to take you to new heights . . . #skate716 #skatersedge #skateboutique #skatingboutique #skateshop #proshop #iceskates #iceskater #figureskates #figureskater #justskatingthings #figureskatingpost #newskates #newskateday #customerappreciationpost #riedellskates #riedellpearl #teamriedell #buffalonewyork #wny #williamsville #buffalocommunity #buffaloentrepreneur #buffalosmallbusiness #buffalove
