QnA: How do we keep my son’s feet warmer on the ice?
ASK THE SKATING PRO
Q. My 6 year old son just started taking lessons, his feet freeze…what type of socks should he wear?
A. Usually we wear one thin pair of socks, similar to dress socks. The blade conducts the cold from the ice up into the boot. If you have room to put in an insole, that may help a little. It also is helpful to warm the boots up before putting them on. I sometimes use the blow dryer in the bathroom to blow hot air down into the boot. You could also use a hairdryer.

How about zip-on boot covers that provide some insulation as well as protection for the skates?
