Galaxy Figure Ice Skate with Pre-Sharpened Carbon Stainless Blade and Ergonomic Heel Design | Timeless and Elegant Women's and Men’s Ice Skating Nu-buck Sueded Feel Lining and Printed Side Details

Excellent Skates for a beginner, great support around the ankles. recommended to be sharpened (usually at ice rink), my son aged 11/12 is a clarks size 5 1/2 (adult sizing) E width, these are slightly to big at a 6 as would be expected, but with a thick ski sock they are very comfortable for him giving the right support. I am a 5 1/2 popped them on and they were very comfortable with a little spare room for toes obviously being an adult my foot is slightly wider than my sons. Hope this gives you a good guide. These look leather (not like the plastic ones in the ice rink) and after a few lessons he will get used to them (skaters have to get used to new boots, so if they are not as good at skating for a couple of weeks, the change of boots does affect performance - so a few practice sessions might be good.

I bought these after much research, and the reviews were great for these cheap little skates. But, always dubious, I did think maybe they wouldn't be so great for me, seeing as though I have fat little feet! I was however extremely pleased after an hour skating. The fit was perfect, although I probably would have got away with buying my actual size 5, but went a size up just in case. No pinching, no aching feet, and the skates came sharpened to perfection! I would definitely recommend these, and honestly, for this price, you won't find a better skate. Oh, also, the delivery was fast. Five stars, would've given more if I could!!!

I was aware that these are on the lower end of the scale for quality but I didn't want to spend £200 on a pair of skates that my daughter will grow out of in 6 months and probably get bored of skating (when she realises how hard it is!). I got the blades sharpened and so far they are doing well. My daughter has used them about 6 times. We're still playing about with getting the laces right in terms of being tight enough around the ankle but soft enough around the leg to allow her to bend. We bought some skate tape which was so worth it otherwise they'd be scuffed up already. My daughter reports that they are really comfortable, so much more than hire skates which she couldn't bear.

My granddaughter absolutely loves her skates - Doing so well with them ❤️

Fantastic skates, bought for daughters birthday. Bought the next size up as she is a 5 and I'm so glad I did! The 6 are a perfect fit! They come with a blade cover that is very thin and will do till you purchase proper blade guards. She said they are much more comfortable and miles lighter than the hire ones at the rink. She is not a professional, just likes skating for a hobby with friends etc so they are perfect! The blades do come sharpened, but even my local rink said after 2-3 sessions on the ice they recommend they would have to be sharpened as the factory grinding isn't quite the same standard as the ones in the rinks.

My daughter loved it, it is the best ones that she ever received!! Just needs to be sharpend!! 5/5 I recommend you to buy these ones!

The boots are cute and comfy enough but the blade is not sharp so u will need to get that sorted otherwise you'll be on your bum as soon as you try at skate on a curve!

Good product
