Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between sharpening and profiling?
Sharpening is all about creating the perfect edge on your skate blades, giving you the grip and control you need on the ice. Profiling, shapes the entire blade to suit your skating style, which can improve your speed, power, and agility, depending on what you need most.
How do I know if I need my skates sharpened or profiled?
If you’re feeling like your edges aren’t biting in the way they should, or your edges feel slow or sloppy, a fresh sharpening’s probably the way to go. Profiling is for those looking to fine-tune their performance, whether it’s for more speed or better stability. Not sure? Our team can always help you figure it out!
