I have now purchased 2 pairs of these within the past few months and am very happy. Great skates for kids to learn on. I will be buying a third pair soon.

Got these skates for my child for Christmas. Fit is perfect (the standard 1.5 size bigger than the shoe size) and love the velcro option! Velcro holds really well and my kid loves the fit. A great option for a beginning skater.

Our son tried these on and loved the feel and velcro. It was great to just have them sharpened in the store. We'll see how they do on the ice, but he's working on standing and skating.

My child wears a 12Y shoe and ordered 11Y in skates. Fits as should and holds the ankle well. The Hook and Loop straps are a bit stiff but work well with the boot. For the price and a beginner skater learning to skate for hockey at the age of 5 this is a great introduction skate.
