About skate rental
Rental skates let you skate without owning a pair. You give your shoe size at the rental counter and get a pair for the session. Roller rinks usually rent quad skates, and some rent inline skates; ice rinks rent figure or hockey skates. Wear socks, and lace the skates snug around the ankle.
