Review on ⛸️ Riedell Skates - 19 Emerald Jr. - High-Quality Youth Recreational Figure Ice Skates for Girls with Durable Luna Blade by Marc Zitnik

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great skates but check the fit first

These skates are of high quality and have an ankle support durometer rating required for lower US figure skating classes. Size runs small, usually one size smaller. My daughter is now a US size 10, we bought a size 11 and they fit perfectly. These boots are also designed for skaters with a conical tip. RESEARCH the size and shape of different brands of skates, as well as the stiffness values required for your skater's weight and grade level, before purchasing a pair of figure skates. My niece also wore Riedell skates and they never fit her properly because they have more of a boxy sock pattern. She needed Jackson brand skates to fit her foot because the boots are molded for this particular toe pattern. If your kid is serious about skateboarding, one of these brands is a must to provide them with the right support. My daughter had one of the cheaper brands that we bought at a sporting goods store when she first started skating and she got to a point where she couldn't properly execute the skills needed to pass her class until her teacher recommended us to buy one of these. Brands. After research we turned to Riedell for my daughter's needs and these skates gave her enough ankle support to get her skills right and take her to the next level.

Pros
  • a handy item
Cons
