 First toddler skates March 28, 2008
Good first pair of ice skates for our three year old. Very stable on ice and easy to adjust.
However, wing nut at the bottom have tendency to become loose and needs tightening every once in a while and that is why I didn't give 5 stars.
Great for little kids March 17, 2008
These skates were great for getting a little kid out on the ice for the first time! Only problem was keeping the butterfly nut tight, but for the most part it was a great investment!
 Great for growing feet March 4, 2008
We have actually only used the skates twice, but the price of the skates was cheaper than the price of one visit to the local indoor rink, where we used to have to go to rent skates (our free outdoor rink didn't have rentals). When we did rent "real" skates, my 2 yr old hated it, I think because the skates were too binding and felt awkward for her. These are GREAT because the kid just wears his/her regular snow boots, so it is comfy for their first skating experiences. Also I love how the skates will grow with the child, and are genderless.
Bob skates February 27, 2008
We bought these for our 3.5 year old to use for his first time ice skating. I like that they fit right over his normal shoes, but would have preferred a model with a toe guard of some sort that covered the front of his shoes for safety reasons. We had one mishap in 3 hours where the bolt on the bottom came off and the skate fell apart while we were on the ice. Luckily enough, we found the bolt and the fix was easy.

I bought this for my 2-1/2 yr old daughter. She has 2 brother that play ice hockey, and was very excited to be on the ice. I thought it would be a good thing seeing how young she is, and that it was also adjustable. First thing was, the leather straps are not all secure, and my husband ended up having to put 2 or more holes in each strap. Okay...not big deal, right?
The real problem came when she tried to skate, due to the fact the screw underneath the skate keep getting loose and the skate expand out, he foot falls off. This happened over and over again the whole night, and we must have stopped to put the back on and rescrew atleast 20 times. After awhile we got tired of the whole process and went home.
She did have fun however on the ice, and with us pushing her, she seemed to glide fine. Again though, stopping every 45 seconds or so, ruined it for us.
