Skaters Landing

I just started picking up skating but know that I want to at least get good enough to do an axel. I’ve been trying to find good skates that fit me but I guess my feet are a bit oddly shaped because it’s been such a nightmare. Enter Skaters Landing. The woman who helped me was AWESOME. She asked me a lot of questions to get a sense of whether or not the boots I tried on were a good fit and she was very attuned to my reaction trying on each boot. We went through all the beginner models, used models, and as I was starting to feel a bit hopeless/​wondering if painful feet are something I’ll have to accept, she pulled out the Risports which felt like Uggs. Since they are the priciest out of all the ones I tried, she wanted me to make sure these were «the one» and told me to take my time walking around making sure I loved them. I really felt like she truly wanted me to have the skates that were the best for me, not the skates that were gonna be the best for her bottom line. Oh yeah, and she assisted me all the while tending to other skaters and didn’t seem to make anyone feel neglected. She’s just super friendly and she was a former skater so she knows her stuff! As a newbie on the ice, I’m SO glad I came here because I had no idea what I was looking for and the last thing I wanted was someone snaking me into a purchase that was more out of their interest not mine. I’ve been to a few other skate shops and left because of that shady feeling.
Will definitely be coming here exclusively for all my future skating needs!

I have wide feet, and I have been struggling for years to find skates that will work for me at all. After a horrible experience at another skate shop, I decided to try Skater’s Landing before giving up.
Buck, the proprietor, is truly a master. He was able to look at my feet, really *listen* to the problems I was having, and figure out what was going on. Less expensive skate models aren’t available in wide widths, but rather than trying to sell me new expensive skates, he was determined to try to make the low-​end ones I already own work for me – and he did!
As someone who only expects to skate occasionally and recreationally, I really appreciated his efforts to keep my costs down, though in truth, the work he did for me would have been a bargain at three times the price. In addition, the higher-​end models that come in wide widths, which the other shop tried to sell me, aren’t really suitable for the kind of skating I intend to do, so they might have actually been a worse choice for me.
I would recommend this shop to anyone.

I love this little place.. The lady that owns the place is great, and is knowledgeable about all things skating and she sure knows how make skates fit better. she really cares about people, works hard, and is always in a good mood. It has limited hours so its always good to call ahead just to make sure it is open. Honestly I need to have customized fitting skates to properly skate and this is the go to place when need them to fit just right. Thank you skaters landing !!
