Off-ice skates are a smart option for figure skaters looking to maintain their edge when rink time is limited or unavailable. At Willies, our technicians build custom off-ice skates by fitting trusted figure skating boots with lightweight inline frames and wheels designed for smooth outdoor or indoor use. The result is a skate that closely mimics the feel of on-ice performance, perfect for developing technique, endurance and footwork.
Our custom builds use Snow White artistic frame, paired with SpeedMax or PIC wheels depending on your skating surface. So if you're working on jumps, edges or posture, these skates offer the stability and flexibility needed. These skates are perfect for off-ice training, giving you the freedom to practice spins, jumps and footwork off the ice. If you're training recreationally or preparing for competition, our off-ice skates offer a realistic feel that mirrors on-ice movement.
Looking for a full setup or just need a conversion? Our team is here to help you choose the right configuration, with expert advice available both online and in-store. We also stock a full range of off-ice accessories including Frames, Wheels & Toe stops, to keep your off-ice skates in the best condition.
At Willies, we’re all super passionate about ice hockey and skating, so we get how essential your gear is to your performance out on the ice. That’s why we do everything possible to give you the best prices from top-quality manufacturers.
As the name suggests, off-ice figure skates are figure skates… that you can use off the ice!
They use a traditional figure skating boot from your favourite brand, so you can get that familiar feel of an ice skate no matter where you practice.
They’re slightly different from inline skates as the Snow White Artistic Chassis uses a ground-breaking three-wheel rockered design, making them extremely lightweight and manoeuvrable so that you can easily make those tight turns and artistic elements.
The support and flexibility offered by the Graf 500 off-ice figure skates are perfect for beginners, as they help to support your knee bends while you learn the fundamentals.
Ice skate fitting is a bit of an imperfect science, as everyone’s foot and skate preference is unique. Different skate manufacturers will have slightly different fit profiles, so it’s worth popping into our store at Willies in Coventry to try on a range of skates.
A general guideline is that adult skaters should wear one size down from their regular shoe size to get a comfortable fit in their skates. Once laced up, your toes should almost reach the end of the boot, your heel should feel locked in place, and your ankles should feel supported without too much pressure.
For junior skaters, we typically recommend skates the same as their shoe size to leave a little growing room, but it’s better to have a pair of comfortable ice skates for a shorter time rather than stumbling around in ill-fitting skates.
