Review on A&R Sports Blade Shield by Ben Chase

I'm new to figure skating and recently bought a cheap pair of skates that seemed to fit my street shoe size. I don't really know anything about shoe sizing or the vamp of quality skates and don't really understand the comments of other reviewers. For those as clueless as me, I've included a photo of my skates for reference with a tape measure showing the exact length of my blades (just over 11.5 inches). I bought the size large in the color royal. As far as I can tell, it fits very well. It looks well made and looks like it will last a long time. The blue color is pretty pretty too. Happy with my purchase.
