What better place to buy ice skates than in Holland? Hans Brinker would have loved modern skating emporium Skatezone which stocks well over 150 models of ice skates and also carries every other kind of skate. For beginners, figure skaters, racers, or those looking for ice hockey skates (and equipment), the shop carries top brands such as Viking, Raps, Bauer, CCM, Zandstra, Graf, A merk, and a host of others. There is a large variety of noren, the most popular style of skates for adults, but they also have traditional Dutch wooden training skates for children. These have double blades so kids can keep their balance.
