Would these skates work for street hockey goalies? I'd really like to pick up some skates for that position but most are out of my price range.

I mean I couldn't see why not? You dont need special goalie skates to play goalie. Just worry about the wheels, the wheel they come with are made for indoor use.

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.

I don't like these skates much. I bought them and they hurt the first time and I thought I would get used to it but I didn't. I won't wear them again. I am not sure about what goaley skates need to be like but I don't recommend these.

Yes- the skates have a hard toe and good ankle protection, even for a goalie.

Yes, my daughter uses them at the local skating rink and they perform great she loves them.

They fit in inline skates too, that's what i bought them for. I got 2 sets for them because you need 8 bearings per skate.

My first suggestion would be the adjustable 1-4 size skate -- working out just fine. If I were to order a standard skate, I'd go with a 2. Marilyn

I doubt it'd handle real pucks. It's not an ice hockey net. I'd say the 'green biscuit' street hockey pucks might even be too heavy. We're using the lighter orange plastic pucks and street hockey balls.

I bought size 2 for mine. Her street shoes are size 1 and i recommend skating shoes size 2 in this brand. I think my daughter will be able to use this 1 year before I buy next size up. Hope that helps you. BTW. for the price, it's a good pair for beginners.

Yes, I brought them last year for my granddaughter and she has skated outdoors most of the time. They are tough, fit well and a good value for the price. Buy 1 size larger than their shoe size at least.

No, these are soft rubber wheels for indoor rinks only. Great skates but not for outside.

These are very high end skates, probably unsuitable (for safety reasons) for children. Therefore those sizes are probably not childrens' sizes.

Not likely. We have only allowed our daughter on the sidewalk but our street is textured and these skates may do ok as they are made well but for a child learning to skate they would not be very sturdy for them in a street. Hope this helps:-)

I'm not an expert but I believe these are meant to be used with some type of cleat. And yes they are quite small. They look simaler to a racing pedal in size and shape. I have not used the ones I bought.

The wheels have grooves in them, I used them outdoors. Also, because of these grooves, they don't move as fast as smooth wheels would. These skates are men's shoe sizes. I can wear a men's size 7 (but in women's shoes I always have to wear an 8 or 9). Since these are men's shoe sizes, I ordered a size 7 and they fit perfectly.

No I do not use these outside. They have indoor wheels. If you want skates that go out side you will need different wheels

The problem is that my experience with the Chicago skates was that their sizes did not correlate with the regular shoe sizes. I would suggest going to a sporting goods store that carries skates or to a local skating rink and try on a pair that fits.

Ours came quite sharpened, but needed sharpening about 4 months later, and noticed an noticeable improvement in my girl's skating... Im pretty sure they can be used right away... Just check them in a couple of months maybe...Hope this help... We really loved these ones!!!

We don't have them for our 3 daughters that all have this skate or a competing brand. They are 3, 6, & 8. With that said we also only use them at the Rollar Skating rink. If our girls where to use them outside we probably would get them. Hope this helps.

It didn't stand up to street pucks, and I highly doubt it would stand up to real pucks. It is twice the money, but i would but the EZ goal as it is very well built.
