Buy one number bigger, feel comfortable, love ❤️ it..... but there was one problem. They were not sharpend, need to do it at the store.

5 Happy Kicks
I bought these skates for my daughter who started figure skating lessons about a month prior. I did take them to be sharpened after I received them also requested heat molding to break them in faster. My daughter loves her skates! She skates very well in them. And Dicks sells them at a great price with coupons! My initial order was too big. I called and Dicks exchanged them easily for me. I ended up getting the same size shoe that my daughter normally wears.

The original skate was too small I got online with Dick's Chat line and within a few minutes a return was processed and a replacement skate was ordered in the correct size. I received the replacement skate in 3 days and the return slip was emailed to me the same day. Dick's went ahead and shipped the skate without me having to purchase the same pair and before they received the incorrect pair back in stock. This was not Dick's error but mine, I ordered the wrong size. The skate is great it looks like a good quality of material and is what I expected. For sporting goods Dick's will get my business.

My daughter found these skates to be very comfortable and ran true to street shoe size.

Ca n't wait for my 8 year old granddaughter to use her new skates. Her dad played hockey so he will be a marvelous teacher. My daughter unfortunately has cancer but used to ice skate and is looking so forward to her daughter learning to skate. She picked these skates out herself and we are so excited to try them out! Your store has never disappointed us and is always our first choice with any athletic equipment- my granddaughter played softball this spring for the first time at 7 and we purchased all her equipment from Dicks. Very very happy with the quality and helpfulness we receive from your employees as well as online purchases. God Bless.

5 Attie
This is a great basic skate for the recreational skater. They 're just like the skates I remember from childhood, they get the job done& the price is right. I read mixed reviews about sizing, some said true to size& others said order larger than street size. I normally wear about a 7. 5 so I ordered an 8& it's perfect.

5 sktmom02
This skate has a comfortable fit and is true to size. My daughter loves it. We tried some other brands but this is her favorite.

5 thaa
I recently purchased these skates because I ca n't afford$ 150 skates at the moment. They are great quality for it's price. Did n't need major sharpening when I received it. They work great on the ice. I can do some jumps just do n't go too hard on it. I recommend using these skates for beginning classes but if you want to get into major competition I suggest spending the extra money to buy competition skates. I usually wear a size 7. 5/8 and I purchased a 7, it fit nicely.

5 Future Figure Skater
It is more than just the name when it comes to product. I wanted a quality buy built to last year's. I am satisfied that this was exactly what I was looking for. And now we will make memories with them. Thanks again!

As a young boy we could n't afford hockey skates so I always wore my sisters figure skates. Much later when I was now on my own I took back into ice skating but this time wearing men's hockey skates. The problem with the men's skates they did n't have toe picks and that was what I really missed. These Tricot Figure Skates in ladies size 11 fit me perfect and they are exactly what I needed to be able to enjoy ice skating again. It would have been nice if they came in black but I will get useto wear white figure skates again.

Got these as a former figure skater returning to the ice for the first time in 20 years. They are very comfortable and sturdy for the price point. Blades definitely need to be sharpened right out of the box. So far really loving them!

4 KateNJ
Just received my skates, size 7 38 Euro. What the Dick ’s website doesn ’ t say is that these are C width which is wide. I have a narrow foot so that ’s not for me. I thought as I wear a size 38 in shoes the 7 would fit, but they are entirely too small and too wide. Ended up getting a size 8. 5 with B( regular) width and they fit perfect. I think the Jackson Ultima size chart( in inches and cm is extremely accurate as it showed I needed an 8. 5 and was spot on. These skates are meant to be stiffer around the ankles, and they feel stiff:-)

Perfect beginner skates ... Takes some time to break it in, just like any other shoes, but after that it works and functions real well for ice skating

See all reviews

5 DrewsMom
My daughter use this for ice skating lessons and its perfect! Takes some time to break it in, just like any other shoes, but after that it works and functions real well for ice skating lessons. It's well padded and generally well made real leather boots with poly coating. Just like all other new skating boots, its blades needs to be sharpened before first time use. Note that the street shoe size is different from skating shoe sizes. For online buyers, follow the Jackson size chart- my 9year old daughter's feet measures 9 inches, we got the 5. 5 in `` women ice skate boot size ''( with half size allowance for thick socks) and it's perfect fit. Highly recommend.

5 Andine
Daughter( 13 years old) adores these skates- just watching from the sidelines, it was immediately apparent she had more control and more ability to turn, spin, skate backwards, etc. Says they ’ re extremely comfortable, a perfect fit, and feel very stable/ supportive. They ’ re beautifully made to last, amazing professional quality for a great price point. Also, our Dick ’s order arrived almost 5 days early, just in time for skating.

Skates looked a bit used, it was definitely a return as there was a stain on the lace and the inside packaging was not tidy. The skate box was also damaged, so it seems like it was tossed around. I couldn ’ t wait to reorder it so it was fine. Jackson skates are popular at my rink so no negative comments on the actual skates.

They are not bad at all. I wear a woman's size 7- 7. 5 wide in shoes. The size 5 fits me perfectly! I will have to purchase inserts for a more comfortable feel. I desperately wanted these but they had none my size at Pure Hockey to try on. Although, they said they can order and have it shipped, I was just not comfortable with that. I like to try things on and see for myself, plus I was afraid I would end up receiving a used or someone's return. Okay so the radiant heated ice skate are more comfortable than my blue Hockey Bauer intermediate around the toe box area. By the way, I wear a size 4 on the blue intermediate hockey ice skate. I still like them nonetheless. I wear a size 4. 5 on the Bauer Mission inhaler FS2 Rollerblade. The size 4 fits me perfectly but I had to go with a 4. 5 because my right foot was wider. The toe box there was not great and it felt like metal was jammed into my bone. I dislike larger sizes but sadly have no choice there. 😔 Bauer needs to upgrade and make more of these skates/ice skates for wider feet. However, I do dislike around the ankle area. Once tied and standing up, you can not stand up straight at all. The way that it's build, it makes you lean forward automatically by force. I 'll be taking them out this weekend since I just purchased them yesterday. I 'll probably switch around with my twins since they have the white figure skating ones. Those does n't push ypu foward at all. Lol. I 'm glad we kind of wear the same sizes in these Bauer. Also, on the web it stated that the heated ones come presharped and ready to skate. That's great and you do n't have to spend money on sharpening them. Nothing is free anymore nowadays! Many places have fees like you would n't be believe just for sharpening.

After almost one year with them, I have to say that I am more than happy, they are very comfortable, sturdy, nice looking, and they are the best for the price. I am an “ intermediate ” as I come from rollerblading, and you can really enjoy ice skating with these ones. I ’ ve been up to 2h ice skating per session and they are super comfortable.

Frequently Asked Questions For Ice Skate For Beginners

When selecting ice skates for beginners, it's important to consider features such as comfort, support, and ease of use. Look for skates with a soft boot design that provides a snug fit while allowing for flexibility. Additionally, adjustable sizes can accommodate growing feet, and a secure closure system will help keep the skates in place.

Ice skates for beginners are typically made from a combination of synthetic materials and durable plastics. The outer shell often features lightweight materials for easy maneuverability, while the inner lining is designed for comfort and warmth. Some models may also include reinforced areas for added durability.

Yes, there are various styles of ice skates designed for beginners, including figure skates and hockey skates. Figure skates usually have a longer blade and a more supportive boot, ideal for learning balance and basic skating techniques. Hockey skates, on the other hand, are designed for agility and speed, making them suitable for those interested in playing hockey.

To ensure a proper fit for beginner ice skates, it's essential to measure the foot accurately and consider trying on skates with the socks you plan to wear. Skates should feel snug but not overly tight, allowing for some wiggle room in the toes. It's also helpful to walk around in the skates to assess comfort and support before making a purchase.

Determining the right size for ice skates involves measuring the foot length and width, as well as considering the brand's specific sizing chart. Many beginner skates come with adjustable features to accommodate growth, which can be beneficial for young skaters. It's advisable to try on skates in-store if possible, as different brands may fit differently.
