Say,nothing is wrong with my skates. But I would just like to know for the future. For if anything was to happen. Does anyone know if you can walk into a Rink and have them fixed? If let's say hooks came loose,blades came off or loose,etc. Or even leather ripping? If so,anyone know if Newington is one that does it? I am not worried. I just want to know how a skater would go about that. Also I go to Newington Arena to skate tomorrow. So please watch for my Rink Report.

My rink will do minor repairs like that - hooks, screws, etc. I've also had some things done at a shoe shop - had my top hooks replaced with eyelets, for instance. For anything but minor stuff I would probably take them back to the skate shop where I bought them to have the repairs done. Most people I know who have needed major things done - heels coming off, for instance, have sent them back to the manufacturer for repair.
