What is the proper way to carry ice skates?

The proper way to carry ice skates is by holding them by the blades, with the blades facing downward to prevent injury. It's advisable to use a skate bag for protection and convenience, which also helps keep the blades safe from damage. If carrying them by hand, ensure the blades are separated to avoid accidental cuts. Always be cautious of your surroundings to prevent tripping or injuring others.
