RiedellSkates - 110 Opal - Recreational Ice Skates with Stainless Steel Spiral Blade for Men | Black | Size 7

Ignore any positive reviews you see of these skates. They use a mounting method that isn’t even used anymore. The weld is so week it broke after three weeks of LIGHT use. These skates offer no support whatsoever so unless you are looking for a way to waste 80 dollars, save your money and buy Jackson’s.

I wanted to learn to ice skate with my daughter, but with size 13 feet, Men's skates are expensive and the options are limited. I tried a few used skates, before buying these, but with no luck. These skates are comfortable with no blisters or sore spots. My feet hurt/burn after working on crossovers, especially when I haven't practiced for a while, but I think that's just my muscles wanting to go back to my otherwise idle activity level.I do notice that I trend to lean my ankles over way more that I should, especially with some fatigue. This is hopefully lack of muscle tone in my ankles because I don't want to think that it's these skates.I've been able to do 3 turns and just a few spins without issue. These may not be the latest and greatest model, but neither am I and these didn't break the bank. At the moment, unless theyend up going catastrophic on me, if be inclined to replace them with the same thing, if/when I wear them out.

I love my new ice skates. Very comfortable, sturdy, and elegant. Note: despite being advertised as “pre-sharpened,” you will want to have them sharpened before wearing on the ice. I advanced from Adult 1 to Adult 5 in about three months with a lot of determination and practice, but now have to upgrade my ice skates since these are not designed for intricate edge work, spinning, or jumping. They were great to learn beginning ice skating and I am still very happy to have chosen these as my first pair of ice skates.

I love these skates! I usually wear size 7.5 but these only come in 7 or 8. I got size 8 and they fit perfect so if you are 7.5 I’d suggest getting an 8.

I had a very small pair of ice skates which I learned to skate with. These skates allow more skilled figure skaters to do more tricks and skate easier. However, if you are just learning how to skate, these skates may not be the best choice. As a skater with experience, I say that they are great, are very comfortable (I have a high arch and a wide foot, so this actually surprised me!), and great quality. Their price is pretty standard, which is just fine with me. Overall, they are very nice ice skates.

I was going to buy another pair of skates that were also recommended, but settled for these as I thought they were made in America. I was disappointed when I saw that they were made in China. Their website does not disclose this information. I had checked and thought they were selling a made in America product, for those that care of country of origin. The skates themselves seem fine. I just received today and plan to skate next week with them, unless I decide to return and order the Botas Stella Skates instead.

If you're looking to get your first pair of skates, I strongly recommend these! The sizing chart they provide is accurate and the skates are comfortable! (As comfortable as skates get. You always have to expect a little pain.) After a bake and sharpen, they were lovely! I work, coach, and skate at my rink nearly every day and they have no signs of wearing at all.!!!! ALWAYS sharpen new skates. Even if the manufacturer tell you they are sharp, factory sharpening is iffy. For your safety and enjoyment, sharpening is always necessary!

Our daughter is delighted with the Skates. She loves how they feel inside, how easy they are to put them on and take them off.She is just a beginner and just started skating so we don't know how good they might be for jumps or tricks but to start skating they are pretty good.
