Lake Placid Alpine 900 Women's Traditional Figure Ice Skate

Christmas present for 10 year old new to skating but very proficient. Skates are perfect starter skates exactly as described.

The blades on the blades are not mounted perfectly straight or inline with the boot, so they are unusable. Very disappointed because they were a birthday present and they caused the recipient to have a bad skating experience. They skates are very beautiful and well made but they have not been quality checked at allOver all I would give it a 4 star for quality of the boot itself, (real leather, very flattering style and soft interior) but 0 stars for quality control.

This skates have a wonderful soft lining especially on the inside of the ankles.They are true to size, I wear a size 6.5 dress shoes and size 7 tennis shoes.Ordered the size 7 skates and they fit perfectly.

This is an entry level boot and blade, keep in mind that this blade is only nickel plated and stainless steel our sharpener at the rink told us that we would need frequent sharpenings which were 8 dollars per sharpening and it would be much more expensive in the long run, so if you would want entry level boots I suggest the Jackson or Riedell for classes and for recreational skating, these. The ankle support is a bit firm for a beginner but once you get used to it you realize it doesn't have that much ankle support for jumps or intricate moves.Also for those complaining that the sizes are wrong, you usually go down either 1 size or 1&1/2 for skating boots, so their measurements are correct.I painted my hooks and holes white because I didn't like the gold, and I bedazzled the laces with a few flower gems since I was bored.These come unsharpened and when you get on the ice with it unsharpened it's a nightmare because you'd be slipping everywhere.Other than that these are definitely better and more comfortable than rental skates, they save your feet.

The product is great and worth the money. After a one public session using rental plastic skates that killed my feet I decided the investment in proper skates would be worth it. I picked these because apparently they have some leather component in them which I can't really tell but they are comfortable and have some foam lining that forms and hugs feet nicely. Now sizing issue, I wear 7.5- 8 in shoes so after reading the reviews I concluded 7 can not be that much off. Boy, was I wrong. I was swimming in 7 which made me very frustrated. Then I was concerned that going down to 6 would not work and they have no half sizes. I took chances and ordered 6 and they are a perfect fit. This is a complete screw up and will upset many people.what would be a point to create sie jak sizing for skates? I have no idea. They have many bad reviews because if that. Please fix it if you don't want to miss on sales! Btw I got the protective sleeves and out some store shoe memory insoles for more comfort.

I am impressed at the look and feel of these skates for the price. I have not tried them on ice yet but they feel good for the price point. If you are looking for an inexpensive decent skate, buy these. The blade cover is super cheap looking so will need to get better ones.

These have a wonderful memory foam lining and a soft fake fur sort of sheep skin lining. The colored laces I bought separately. I got them sharpened before skating in them. They run true to size (I'm an 8) and my feet run a little on the wide side so that they're actually a very nice fit on me. I'm hoping to get several more years of use out of them! Very well made skates!

I have ordered half a size smaller based on the reviews and I truly regret it . The material the skates are made of os pretty hard and they are quite difficult to break into . It is very painful to skate towards the end of my session . I truly wish I had at least ordered my regular size or even sized up.
