Experience Enhanced Stability with A&R Bob Skates Double Runner Strap-on Skates Review

Everything seems simple, you can't go wrong, right, right) You forgot to drill a hole for one of the straps! I had to dig it up with nail clippers and cut it with a knife. On both skates! Right ankle. I'm sure you will agree with my changes.

I bought an extra skate strap for my little one. They arrived but there were no holes in the back to thread the straps through. Along with this one I received 2 other gifts and there was no return receipt. So now I've paid for the gifts if I can't return the defective one. I cannot return skates. so very disappointed.

These are the ones I grew up with in Canada. Perfect for toddlers to develop a love of skating before they are ready to balance. My one and a half year old child skated very well on these skates and has a lot of fun with them! The straps keep her securely on the shoe without slipping and the blades are not too slippery so she can enjoy her first experiences on the ice. Highly recommended!

The slot through which the strap goes is not open on any of the skates! You can only thread the tape from one side. Please advise how to fix this or am I doing something wrong. The quality of the skates is very good. However, the situation with the strap - the hole for the strap is closed! PLEASE HELP! We're having a big family figure skating party at our house.

My 2 year old daughter loved the ice cream when she climbed on these. A few ideas, questions. 1: The rear strap had to be drilled out to get the strap through as there was no hole. It's just weird, but easy to fix. 2: Do they need to be sharpened? She was all over the ice. No matter how she stood, her feet went straight for her. 3: Yes, they seem cheap, but they work, so I'm not worried about that. She will likely outgrow them by next season.

I bought this despite the mediocre reviews. The reviews are correct in that the plastic clasp on the strap is not very good. Our biggest problem is that it's difficult to get the straps tight enough for the boot to attach properly to the skate. But once we learned how to do it with extra care, it worked pretty well and was certainly worth the very reasonable price. I have yet to try the skate laces trick the other reviewer tried, but if the adjustable lock stops working I think the skate laces…

Overall I'm happy with them. To get my 18 month old son on the ice. It still can't skate on its own (I have to support it) but the wide double runners make it easy for me when I'm skating too. I think it's great for little kids because they can use their own boots or shoes. It was very quick to take them off as my son decided he was "done" skating without having to change or care for shoes and then 2 minutes later wanted to "skate" again and we could . I hope the parents of the little ones…

Buckles slip when tightening. You are useless. The band is super cheap. The rest works fine. We just tied her up. I have to somehow adjust it with the extra buckles to make it work BUT my son liked them and was able to move around the ice very easily. Edited - tied up, the straps banged on the ice, tried the new buckles I had on old backpacks but they wouldn't hold and came loose, I had to buy new straps from Amazon for buckles. That's a lot for them to work. They're good for kids who don't…

Super cheap product, clearly mass produced in China or somewhere in China. The suppliers of these skates can (and should) do a few things to ensure they meet the standards of customers in a first world country. First, the holes where the straps were supposed to go are blocked and sealed with plastic due to a manufacturing defect. It looks like they came out of a hot mold and the hole melted. I had to heat a screwdriver with a plumber to punch holes. The buckles that clamp the straps don't work…
