We’ve
been frequently asked if a pair of used ice figure skates are able to be
converted into artistic inline skates. The answer is
YES if the used boots are carefully
checked and meet some simple requirements. Many skaters have successfully
made this conversion. The following suggestions will help you run through
a strategic examination of your used boots to see if they are suitable for
conversion: |
||
| ⊙ |
Be sure the used boots are still rigid and with support in both the ankle
and counter areas. |
|
| ⊙ |
Be sure the outsoles and heels are still in good condition, i.e., the
outsoles and heels are not rotten due to long periods of contact with
water/moisture. |
|
| ⊙ |
Study the pictures below. The left picture shows the most common holes
found on the outsole when the blade is removed. Usually there are 6
to 8 holes in the front and four in the heel. The right picture shows how it
looks when the Snow White frame is placed and ready to mount. As long as
the positions of the Snow White mount-holes differ from the holes for the
blade, it is safe to proceed with the conversion. |

| We can help to clarify if the existing drill holes on your used boots overlap the Snow White® holes. Send us an email telling us what boots model and size they are of your used boots, and the outsole length. We will return you a diagram with recommended Snow White® frame size and the positions of all the required holes. Following is a diagram of Snow White® frame size #15. | ||
