| Customer Reviews: Great recreational skates! July 8, 2010 Revolving3 (GA) I bought these for my daughter as beginner skates. I'm so glad I read others' reviews and bought one size up and they fit her perfectly! Not only they are functional and they look so pretty. You will get your money worth in just a few uses from not having to rent the skates (they usually have dirty laces and wet). Her skating coach said they are about the same quality as the rental ones. Now she's worn her pair a few times, they are even more comfortable.
Skates! June 21, 2010 BJ (TX) Love the product! Great product at a great price. I do wish to complain about the company Skate Buys, though. I initially purchased these skates in a size 13 for my daughter 2 years ago for her 5th birthday. The skates run small and we couldn't get her feet in them for her skating birthday party. I returned the skates for a replacement and waited TWO years and a TON of emails later - the customer service department kept assuring me the skates were on their way... even weeks/months later, they were STILL on their way! They never had any intentions of replacing them or refunding my money. I finally gave up and purchased them again, now in a size 3 for my daughter's 7th birthday. Thank goodness they are not expensive, but it was the principle of the matter. They are a bit too big but she will grow into them. They didn't have a size 2 available which is probably what we needed. I was too afraid to purchase the size 1 which is actually what my daughter wears for fear of them running small again.

These ice skates were too small and returned. I have not heard that my account has been credited for the return. Please credit my account.
The ice skates are fine just too small!

American Athletic 512 Girls Figure Skates
Great skate for my daughter and inexpensive.
The sizes run small on this. You might want to get a size or two larger. So much better then the rental skates -- the blade is sharp and not all dinged up. The boots probably aren't as comfortable as more expensive boots, but my daughter hasn't complained and the skates have dramatically improved her skating.
I also bought the mens skate that is basically the same model and just paid for shipping one time as sold by skatebuys through amazon with one checkout. The sizes also run small on this -- I wear a 9.5 to 10 shoe and bought a size 11 skate which fits just right. I haven't skated on sharp blades for over 20 years -- it's great(I didn't pay for the extra sharpenning and they are plenty sharp).
The boots could be a bit more comfortable especially the upper tong -- but as they break in they are getting more comfortable.
