We also carry specialized blades for synchronized skating and ice dance. Rainbo also offers blade sharpening from some of the top skate technicians in the country.

How to Purchase Blades

To purchase blades, you need to know the length of the sole of the boot. Take the heel to toe measurement of the sole of the boot in inches. It is important that you are measuring the boot that the blade will be going on or the same model and size. Boot sole length can vary even among the same brand boots. Experts recommend one quarter inch (¼”) shorter than the heel to toe measurement for a non-growing foot. For a growing foot, you can buy a blade that fits heel to toe measurement. By using a longer blade, you may be able to re-mount it on the next pair of boots—but there are no guarantees. If you are not sure what length blade to buy, we would be happy to assist you.
