Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great first skates These are a good option for a first pair of skates, especially on a budget or with a hesitant child. Solid construction and could even be used in a development setting (though definitely not beyond). The strap/buckle feature makes it a piece of cake for newbie parents, and just easy for people who have grown up in a rink. The buckle is certainly not the most secure, however, and can come undone with a hard tap or if it gets snagged, but this has only happened twice in many hours of use, and taping it would alleviate this problem altogether.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great starters These are great starters. They seem to support the ankle really well and he didn’t complain they hurt. They fit the same as toddler shoe size.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Nice beginner skate, cheap buckles Using these to help my 4 year-old learn to skate. They seem to work and fit well other than that the cheap buckles are hard to work with and have popped open a couple of times. Jury’s still out depending on how long they hold up.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Keep little ones in figure skates Our son is 4 years old and has been skating for about 5 months (1x/week). Shoe size 11.5 -12 and Bauer Lil Champ Ice Skate size 10 (measured electronically). We purchased these skates bc we were told he should learn to use the skate edges and not rely on the toe pick. What no one tells you is that the problem with hockey skates is that it's difficult for littles to get their balance bc unlike figure skates (FS), they move when you're standing still (if your weight shifts forwards or backwards you move in that direction and it really can throw kids off if they're used to FS). The blade is also a tad more narrow than FS, so that can cause balance issues too. This means littles can fall easier, more often, and become frustrated quickly. Also, we found the buckles on the Lil Champ Ice Hockey Skates easily flip over (instead of the orange-red on outside the black part is), making the skates difficult, if not impossible to tighten/adjust. Another reviewer hit the nail on the head - these are more like ski boots. They are difficult to get on/off (most littles could never do it themselves) and the inner liner comes out when they are taken off. Our son hated these and refused to wear them. Would these have been okay if he'd started out with them instead of FS? Maybe, but sadly, the on/off and buckle issues were too much to overcome.

my son is 11 and he wears a size 6 youth what's a good size for him?

Asked by: LLong
These are more for toddlers. If your son is 11 we would expect that 6 size shoe to be an adult/young adult size shoe. He would want to look at size 4.5 or 5 junior skates. You may want to visit one of our stores for a complete fitting experience. Thanks!

What hollow should these skates be sharpened to? Do you recommend 1/2"?

Asked by: Lil Puck
player preference really when it comes to this - most of these skates are sharpened to a 5/8" hollow but 1/2" hollow is a popular choice as well ...1/2" will have more bite / less glide than the 5/8" hollow ...

Do these skates expand to grow with your child? They appear to be a solid mold, but double checking!

Asked by: BMac74
These do not expand or adjust in terms of length or width. They are a solid shell as you mentioned. Thanks!

My son is a toddler size 5/6. Will these skates be too big?

Asked by: Smoose5
These would be a little big. A 6/7 size would fit a shoe slightly bigger than what you have. I don't see we have that size in-stock right now and I'm sure the 8/9 size will not fit. If we get anymore 6/7 sizes we will update the website. Thanks!

My son is 2.5 and is in a size 7 now and has been for 8 months so I suspect he’ll be an 8 soon. Should I buy 6/7 or 8/9? Thanks 

Asked by: Pjsmom
Hard to know 100% but I think the 8/9 might be the best choice for you. Thanks!

Do these come already sharpened?

Asked by: Jordan47
These do not come sharpened but the edges may feel sharp. You will need to get them sharpened before skating. Thanks!

Is there any double blade options for tiny toddlers? My son is 1 and he wears a toddler size 5. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Asked by: Jillian
We only carry single blade skates and our smallest size would be a 6.
