Rainbo Sports Rainbo Sports helps figure skaters at every level find their edge by offering the highest quality ska

Rainbo Sports is the leading figure skating retailer in the United States. Read our story to find out how we got here!

1956 – Rainbo Sports was founded in 1956 and is one of the oldest and largest retailers of figure skating equipment and clothing in the United States. We started serving the figure skating industry as a small rink shop located in the Rainbo Ice Arena in Chicago, one of the first private indoor ice arenas in the Midwest.

1973 – The first skating products catalog was introduced.

1980 – We developed the Rainbo Dealer Network, which is now represented in 44 states and 23 countries. Today – We provide figures skaters all over the world to shop with us via shopRainbo.com. We have serviced all levels of skaters and have worked with Olympic champions from Dorothy Hamill and Katrina Witt to Tara Lipinski and Evan Lysacek (who was actually a model in one of our catalogs as a kid).

There's a lot more to finding the right skates than choosing a brand or size.

Our team brings nearly 100 years of combined figure skate fitting experience to the rink. Many of our staff members are skaters, athletes, and coaches themselves, so we understand the equipment from both sides: how it's made and how it actually performs on the ice.

From helping a young skater find their first pair of boots to working with competitive athletes on their equipment, we take the time to understand each skater's needs, skill level, and goals.

And our support doesn't end with a purchase. We're here for adjustments, technical advice, and the questions that come up along the way!

A little reminder: When was the last time you had your skates sharpened?

Sharp blades make a difference in how you move on the ice. Properly maintained edges help with grip, control, and stability, whether you're working on jumps, perfecting your turns, or simply enjoying a skate.

How often you need a sharpening depends on how frequently you skate and how your blades feel on the ice. If you're noticing slipping or struggling to hold an edge, it might be time to stop by Rainbo!

Our experienced staff is here to guide you every step of the way, from choosing the right boot to finding the right fit and support for your skating.

Because the right skate can make all the difference on the ice.

Rink style, but make it cozy.

The Melrose Warmers are the kind of layer you’ll reach for before practice, after practice, and pretty much everywhere in between. Cozy, easy to wear, and a little more fun than your average rink essential.

The Jackson Entre is designed with moderate support for skaters working on single-rotation jumps, combining a secure wrap, a softer Achilles-friendly collar, and a lightweight Fusion Sole for comfort and stability on the ice.

Not to mention, the Swarovski crystal details add just the right amount of sparkle. ✨

As always, skill level recommendations are a guideline; proper fit and support should be considered for each individual skater.
