American Athletic Tricot Lined Ice Skates for Girls - Recreational Kids Figure Skates with Ankle Support, Padded Liner, Stainless Steel Blades - Suitable for Indoor & Outdoor Ice Skating

I bought the American Athletic 512 Girls Figure Skates (9Y) and they’ve been great so far. They feel sturdy, not like the cheap “toy” skates you sometimes see, and they offer good ankle support for a young beginner. The padding seems comfortable, and there were no complaints about rubbing or blisters after skating. The blades came sharp enough for recreational use, and with a proper sharpening they perform even better on the ice. For the price, these are a solid option if you want real skates for a child who’s learning or skating casually. Overall, good quality, nice look, and my only “complaint” is that kids grow fast — I’d buy this model again in the next size up.

I purchased two sets of skates - one for each of my granddaughters, ages 7 and 8. They love them. The skates are leather, professional skates, that are for learning how to skate. Their teacher was extremely pleased that they had theses skates because they can't be taught how to skate correctly in 'kiddy' skates (which I initially purchased 4 months prior). They do have guards on the skates (but because I didn't know this, I purchased a set of "fuzzy guards" to cover the blades. I am very happy with the price, the look, the feel and that they are leather, not plastic.

My almost 8 year old daughter went to a birthday party at the ice rink in February 2014. She loved skating and started asking me to take her ever day. I bought these skates for her a week or two later because I was paying over $3 each time to rent skates. She started taking skating school classes in April with these skates. In August, she started private lessons. She didn't have to get new skates until October, before she started learning the waltz jump. They were over $200! These skates are VERY much for beginners. They're good for learning to stay up and move on the ice. They were cheap and served their purpose. She's now skating in competitions and on a synchro team. These skates were a great intro skate to make sure she really liked the sport. They are not good once the skater starts learning any actual elements like jumping or spinning because they don't provide enough ankle support. I even bought these for my two year old too.

Loved the experience, all went smoothly!

The skates are very nice looking, a bit hard but do have a thin cushion lining. After looking at the sellers size chart and reviews, I purchased one size up. My daughter is 10 years old and wears a size 1. I purchased size 2. I figured, no problem, I will return and repurchase size 3, or maybe even 4 since she will want to wear thick socks. I go to do the return and there is a return fee of $10. I think that Amazon should have the sellers state the return fee in the listing so buyers are aware. Especially when it comes to clothes and shoes since we obviously are not able to try before buy. I have messaged the seller and hope to be able to do an exchange. I will update review depending on the customer service experience. I really was hoping to have these by Christmas but with my budget, I can’t afford the $10 return plus purchasing the new pair and not being reimbursed for the pair I’m returning until 2-3 days after they receive it. Update: the seller was responsive and resolved my issue quickly and sent out the new skates right away and I already received them. Just keep in mind that these run small and if you need to return due to this, contact the seller, they were polite and helpful.

The seem to be decent quality, unfortunately they were far too narrow in the toe box. I bought them for my 3 daughters, and I had to return all 3 pairs.

Great fit and ideal for my 8 year-old’s ice skating lessons!

I use to compete when I was a child and for 30$ this is a great deal ppl, nice skates would usually run at least $150 so anyone who complains about these when they only spent $30 needs to seriously re-evaluate their review! You get what you pay for and these are seriously intro skates that’s all. As for being intro skates only,,, my 5 year old is having a blast in them and they are way better quality then renting from the rental shop. Plus you make your money back in like 5 trips to the rink so yay. Next year I’ll be buying my daughter some nicer boots/blades but for right now. I’m super happy I got her these for only $30 bucks! THANK YOU 😆

Para comenzar me parecen excelente calidad-precio le duran 4 meses maximo porque los compro casi justos para evitar lesiones como ampoyas para el pequeño pie de mi princesa y los deja en buenas condiciones a pesar de las mil caídas que se da, aún así recomiendo siempre usar calcetas altas y gruesas

Pleasantly surprised that these slightly worn skates look brand new! Also well padded around the interior ankle making them very comfortable. I purchased a size 1 for my daughter who wears a size 13/1 shoe. There is room for a pair of thicker ski socks with comfort so these do fit smaller than other girls skates( we usually have to size down by one shoe size).

Does the job for a casual skater and good value for money. However not good for figure lessons as teacher said there wasn’t enough ankle support for turning.

Le prix excellent

Buena, relativa precio y calidad.
