If you mean Ice Skates for playing hockey, definetly not. These wraps are too thick. You will never get a pair of ice skates on. Also, they will not allow your feet to breath between these wraps and your skates.

I truly do not know - I ordered these for my granddaughter who lives about 3 miles from me; so I do not know where she uses them. It was my understanding that she wanted them so she wouldn't have to rent skates at the local skating rink. ????

I think the skate boots are a "D" (wide) width, so you'd need to either look for skates with an "extra wide" boot, or substitute a larger size (10, 11, or larger) to compensate for the width you need. Personally, I would go to a roller rink and see if they can measure your foot and recommend a boot in the proper size. It might cost a little more; but you won't be guessing at the size, and the skates would fit better and be more comfortable.

yes! I ordered them for my wife who is a recreational skater. Ignore all the hardcore skater reviews.. These are perfect for going out and skating a couple of times a week.

You might try a skating rink. My grandson loved his skates also. When they broke, we just purchased new ones. I was unhappy because I felt they should have lasted longer. They are cool!

I'm not sure, but my daughter has been skating indoors and outdoors almost daily since she got these for Christmas.

They can be, I would not recommend this brand. They are a cheaper skate. Spend the extra money and buy something like better

Hmmm my kids don't really skate outside because our driveway is too rough, but I don't see why you couldn't. I like these skates a lot, actually I have a pair for both of my daughters and myself because I liked them so much. They take them to the rink or skate around the house. If we have a smoother driveway, I'm sure they would skate outside with them too.

I'm not sure, but my son just turned 5 yesterday. He has tried the skates on twice so far and he still hasn't got the hang of it. He is a bit frustrated trying to figure it out.

I think you're correct. Not saying for sure but I'd try it. You can always return. They are good ice skates and I think she will be happy with them -- my twin granddaughters love them! Hope my answer helps you.

Yes, I bought them for my 6 year old niece, she had never skated and got the hang of it very quickly.The skates are adjustable so they can grow with their feet. Lots of support for their ankles.

I cannot answer this question as these skates were a gift for our granddaughter who is eight years old

Yes. Since the skates can still slip out from under the kids, pads and a helmet are a great way to protect them. At the very least a helmet should be used.

These skates are exactly what they say they are, roller derby skates, made for skating fast on a smooth surface, i supposed you could wear them on a sidewalk but i would wear kneepads!

Melissa, I think that they would probably be protective enough for ice skating. They are pretty well padded, they just don't have a hard plastic cap either inside them or on the outside. I think that you would have a fine time using them. They fit snug so keep that in mind but I used them for mountain biking, slow downhill and they worked good. The eight part that you see on the outside is pretty thick neoprene and that is the protection factor. The other thing is that if you take a really hard fall in them or any other pad, you are going to feel it in my experience. My thought is that they are a really solid pad and would probably protect you in fine fashion for ice skating.good luck and take care,Eoin Melissa, I think that they would probably be protective enough for ice skating.

When ordering remember to order men's size equal to yours. So if you are an 8 in women's order men's 7. I have worn my now for a couple of months, they have stretched a little, so you might want to order down a 1/2 if available. They have stretch but not so much that I need to even wear heavier socks. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these skates!! They are still in AWESOME shape too. I practice twice a week with my league and trust me I have been beaten up pretty good, but my skates still look new!! No duct tape or toe guards either!!
