Riedell Unisex Horizon and Opal Recreational Ice Skates - Supportive Uppers with Plush Padded Lining, Smooth Stainless Steel Blades

These fit me perfectly! I’ve used them a few times now and haven’t any complaints. They aren’t too narrow like I have had issues with others in the past. The lining is such a cute touch and makes them even more comfortable. The quality and value is perfect. I know there are cheaper options out there but I find with these you’re getting what you pay for and it’s worth the extra money!

These skates come sharp. My wife loved them. They are very comfortable and are quality skates.

Very sturdy good quality ice skates. The size is good, and they look great. I’ll definitely buy these again when my son needs a new size. It’s definitely hard to find black skates in smaller sizes, but these are perfect!

Great quality - beautiful leather uppers

I got the Riedell 110 Opal skates because I wanted something affordable to start learning on. They fit comfortably and feel supportive enough for basic skating and practicing at the rink. The quality is good for the price - the boot is soft but still gives decent ankle support, and they look really nice in person. One thing to know is that the blades come pretty dull out of the box. I had to get them sharpened before using them properly. After sharpening, they worked great and felt much more stable on the ice. If you’re just starting out and don’t want to spend too much, these are a solid choice - just plan on sharpening the blades first.

I bought the size 12 for my older son, and even with sizing up, the width was too narrow. We had to get Jacksons for him. (I bought these for my younger son in a size 6, men’s, black boot. I measured his feet according to Riedell’s sizing charts and instructions. He was supposed to fit between a 5.5 and 6 in their skates. It fit him perfectly and comfortably. He says they are much better than the rentals and he LOVES them. For women: This is where it gets interesting. My daughter and I have exactly the same size foot and we measure a 6-6.5 WIDE according to Riedell’s charts and directions. I ordered size 6 wide in Riedell Emerald. It was torturous. No way we could wear it comfortably. Both width and length were just not a fit, in our opinions. SO, we try my son’s black, size 6, Opals, and they are a perfect fit for us, and they are not wides. Huh. I hope this helps someone out there. Perhaps the men’s opal is the equivalent of a slightly larger and wider women’s boot. The sizing charts seem to reflect that, but the difference is substantial in width and for people with wider feet, this might be the answer since the lower levels of skates don’t come in widths or 1/2 sizes. A mens size might be cheaper and a much better fit for women with wider feet and/or needing 1/2 sizes.)

The size was still half size to big I wear 5 1/2 and I got a 4. They are really hard to break into. Have me blisters, but I think cause they are just a little too big. Overall they are warm and very pretty. The blade is ok need some breaking in.

My son said these are good. Very stiff at first use
