Would the be suitable for ice skating?

You should be able to. I wear them snowboarding so I don't move my legs as much but it's not very constricting.

Have'nt had a chance to use them yet as we are having a drought here in California.

I think they would do just fine ice skating. They may not always stand up to rough asphalt, but ice is much more forgiving. I don't see why not!

I loved this when my Achilles bothers me. Great for icing. I think you would be ok. It fits by molding around your foot so it's not by the length. Maybe your toes wouldn't be out as much but I think you would be fine I wear a 7 1/2 normally.

They do have special goalie skates for roller hockey...look into those first, then decide if you think it's worth it to spend the extra cash on goalie design.

You would most likely have to use a larger skate but it would definitely be worth a try.

My granddaughter uses them on the sidewalk. We don't have a skating rink so I really cant say. They look like shoes that could be worn at a rink but I really don't know.

Probably, but it would depend on the tread of the boot. You would want something grippy like the bottom of a skate shoe, not hard, for the pins to dig into. Five Ten makes hiking and work boots that would work great.

A 9 will work, because most skates are tight and slightly smaller than the regular shoe.

Don't see why not. I got them for my granddaughter to skate in her long blacktopped driveway.

I would say yes. The wheels are good material, high quality and can be used indoors and outdoors.

These are rink skates, not for outdoor. For outside skates you will need a harder compound of wheels and bearings specially made for outside skating.

yes! I ordered them for my wife who is a recreational skater. Ignore all the hardcore skater reviews.. These are perfect for going out and skating a couple of times a week.

My twins have a wider foot and started in this boot. It was not the right boot for them. I would look at the Jackson boots since they are made a bit wider. Jackson makes a great skate at comparable price for beginner skaters as well and they have a much softer top.

Defintely!! There are horrid cold, but I guess you can put ice in them if you forget.

Hockey skates are a subcategory of ice skates. They are firmer/stiffer/more stable around the ankles and do not have a toe-pick like figure skates and the blade is not as long as speed skates. These are good for a growing child who wants to just have fun and skate.

Both of my children have a pair of this brand of skates and neither one of them has ever taken them to the rink. They wear them inside the house sometimes but mostly outside on the sidewalks and street. Neighbor kids have worn them so they have gotten a lot of use for the past year! I imagine the wheels would be better if they were rink only but we didn't purchase them for that. We just wanted them to have a good skate and also had something to do OUTSIDE! :-)

I think you're correct. Not saying for sure but I'd try it. You can always return. They are good ice skates and I think she will be happy with them -- my twin granddaughters love them! Hope my answer helps you.

Definitely! I changed out the stopper for a plug for dancing. The metal trunk makes this an exceptional skate. I did wear out the boot after 1 year of serious use (skating twice a week) so I bought a black Riedell Boot to replace the white boot. But this sake is initially a great purchase and investment. You will also eventually change out the wheels for dance wheels (slicker - less grippy).
