Houston Skate and sports orthotics center - reviews

[Sunshine247]

Has anyone else here used them?

In my quest to find an orthopedic specialist for figure skaters, I stumbled upon this skate fitter. And nothing in my area with figure skating experience. Apparently they will fit skaters in a boot with an appropriate orthotic at the same time. The fitter is medically trained although I don’t recognize the certification. They also have a large variety of skates and brands. Risport, Edea, Jackson, basically everything available in the US. which seems promising.

A skater from my rink had used them with good results but they had family in the area. It’s a 10-12 hour drive for us so I was wondering if anyone else has some feedback. I’ve found quite a bit of glowing online reviews but that’s not always the whole story of course!

I have heard good things about them, but have never used them myself.

I lived in Houston and used Patti to fit my skater. Afterwards we moved to Alaska and she fits us remotely working through videos and photos. Suggest you call the shop up and talk to Patti first before making the drive. As an FYI she writes a good column in the Skating magazine too...good luck!
