2011 Readers Choice Award

We are so excited to announce that Riedell has received the 2011 Readers Choice Award from About.com. Readers were asked to nominate and then vote for their favorite figure skates for entry level skaters and their favorite figure skaters of 2010-11. Riedell won for “best figure skates for new figure skaters”.

Thank you to everyone who voted. All of us work very hard to produce a quality boot for every level of skater—and from start to finish, each boot is crafted with the goal that it will help a skater reach their highest aspirations on the ice. Our Recreational and Instructional Series includes 7 boots (including the new 229 TS!) that have the stability and comfort to help beginning skaters step confidently onto the ice for the first time.

If you are a new skater, why did you choose Riedell? And experienced skaters, what advice can you give skaters new to the sport?
