Off piste a bit here. But can any ice skaters out there tell me why the girls in Dancing on Ice pull their tights down over their skates ??? I think it looks much nicer if the boots were left white. (see, the things I worry about)
They're called over the boot tights. They have tapes or hooks etc to keep them in place
Some skaters think it elongates the leg & looks better
Cos that peachy satin colour and black are the only colours you can buy. I went to a specialist dance shoe shop in Covent Garden (to buy tap shoes) and it was an education to see all the dance shoes on display. Amazingly they have a 'suede' type sole, so lord above knows how many times they have to be replaced.
