How long do figure skates usually last?

I want to get my own figure skates....how long do they last? And what brands are good?How long do figure skates usually last?
When I was competing (hence skating 3-4 hours every day) my skates would last about a year. I wore custom made Harlicks because my feet were too narrow for off the shelf boots.





When I went back to skating as an adult and only skated twice a week, I wore SP Terri's and they lasted me about 2 years so far.How long do figure skates usually last?
Usually about 6 months to 2 years, depending on what type of skates you have, how fast your feet grow, and how often you skate. Mine usually last about a year and I have Harlick skating boots and mk vision blades.





Any brand is good, it just depends on which feel the best on your feet. You probably want to find a pro shop near you that can help you find the right boot for you.
Take it from a figure skater with not only feet that are different sizes but also from someone whose feet have been royally messed up because of skating! If your feet don't have a distinctive arch, DO NOT get Harlicks. I have the most beautiful pair of Harlick custom made skates barely ever skated in because of that little known fact. Also, if you are skating recreationally they will last you about a 1 1/2 years. Also, some good advice: if you're younger and your feet are still growing then you should not get skates that you will ';grow into'; although this can be a money saver it is very bad for your feet. It can cause bone spurs and hammer toes. Skating is an amazing sport but it is so important that whoever fits you for skates does a good job. SP teri's are awesome skates and Graf skates are right up there as well. I would stay away from Riedell if you want to get competitive. Some good blades are Vision blades, whether you're doing double jumps or just starting your singles. Good Luck!
it depends whether you're still growing or not and how many hours a week you usually skate. the more you skate, the faster they break down.


about brands: I wear Riedells and they're great for me. I have a friend who wears Harlick skates and they're great for her. I've also heard that SP Teri and Jackson are also good brands.


if you have a lot of questions about the skates you have or are planning to buy, you should try asking your coach or the staff at your local skate shop.
Usually about a year, depending on how much you skate. You can tell when you have no support left in them and that's when you need a new pair. I like Riedell's skates, and Jackson's but it all comes down to personal preference.
Donald jacksons and grafs are really good the only ones ive ever used and skates tend to last between a year and two years depending if your feet are done growing and home much u use them and the jumps u are doin the higher the jumps the faster you'll break them down
Ice skates usually 1/2 a year to a year it depends if u are like a real figure skater and u do jumps and stuff probably only a half year if u just want them to just go skating and just skate they'll probably last over a year or until u outgrow them. If u want a good brand riedell skates are really good so are Jackson skates but riedells brake in faster or if your really good custom made skates are awesome but if u just want a pair of skates my favorite are riedells there the bomb
They last for about two years. The best brand would be Artists.
If your feet are still growing, then your skates will not last long at all. If you are growing out of sizes quickly, then you do not want to get a really expensive pair that you will only wear for a couple of months before you need new ones. When your feet have stopped growing or are taking a break from growing, then you can get a really nice pair. I personally wear Riedell figure skates. I have had those for almost two years. Your skates will last as long as they are comfortable for you. The wear and tear of figure skating will not do any damage to them. They just might get a little scratched up. The more times a week that you skate, the less time that they will last. When you get your skates, make sure that you get them heat molded. That is when the skates are heated up and then you put them on for a few minutes, so that the skates mold to your feet. That way, they are much more comfortable for you.

How can I figure out the name of the games that used to come standard on old 90's IBM computers?

There's a game I remember playing on my dad's IBM computer in the early-mid 90's. It was already installed when he bought the computer... came with minesweeper, solitare, etc. it was an old pixel-ie strategy game.How can I figure out the name of the games that used to come standard on old 90's IBM computers?
