Does the right skate have a break like any normal skates?

There are no brakes on the skates. Hockey skates usually don't have brakes.

No, there are no breaks on these. Typically skates meant for hockey or more intense roller blading do not have the break.

No it does not have breaks you have to make a ice hockey stop if you really want to stop.

yup, there is break. but the front wheel is not so smooth when making turns.

I bought this pair for my daughter but the figure skating instructors said this kind of skates are not very efficient because since they are adjustable the blade and the inside of the skate messes up with the balance of the skater. This was brought to my attention many times for different instructors so I gave them away and bought the white leather pair specific for figure skating. Hope this helped

You should never go back and forth between skating indoor and outdoor with your skates. It can be very dangerous. When you are outside your wheels will become very rough and when you go indoors the wheels will not be even. Also, it can damage a wooden skate floor. Outdoor wheels need to be softer to be able to grip outdoor surfaces. A rink floor is more consistent and therefore you need a harder wheel.

yes, but as I mentioned they are hard wheels, meaning they are not of the soft variety that roll over cracks and rocks well. The board is great. I put softer wheels on it so it would be smoother for my son. Still, it is a great to learn on if you find a smoother surface, or are a pretty good rider already. Soft wheels durometer 78 (cruising) , trick wheels durometer 90-100. these are prolly durometer 99.

Yes, absolutely, that's how my son and I used them. Of course you have to try to find relatively nice streets but that applies to any pair of skates I guess

The only place I have seen these are on amazon. There is a little button where the foot goes which is the brake. When you step on the skate, it lifts the brake and rolls, when you step off the skate it immediately releases the brakes which is awesome, since it won't go rolling away. My five year old loves this and so does my seven year old.

Yes but I would use them for one or the other not both because of the condition that the wheels get in when using outdoors. Very high quality skates though

I can only base off what my daughters have said. They have a pretty stiff upper ankle and do seem to provide great support. They are not like the old fashioned floppy white figure skates. Probably not as good as a hockey type skate but what it lacks in support makes up for in comfort.

Yes. I would suggest wearing them one place or the other. But, just check the wheels for pebbles before going to the rink and you should be fine. If there is a problem, you could buy new wheels if needed.

As is uses inline skate wheels it works pretty much everywhere, where you would be able to enjoy a smooth ride with your skates too!Only problem: NO BRAKES! ...to keep your kid safe you should make sure the area is rather flat...

Yea, all the hardware is regular skateboard stuff. You could swap out the trucks/wheels/whatever.So yes, a regular skate tool will work perfectly.

hmmm. When a structure is built a jostle of any sort will make it collapse. So stepping on it in that way won't break it. We have kids not wear shoes in the house, so I can't vouch for what would happen if they were jumped on with shoes. But kids in socks step on them all the time, with no breakage. They are thin, about 1/4 inch thick with plastic bracing inside. Breakage is really not an issue. This is an absolutely wonderful open ended toy.

It works pretty well for me, it can get up to a good speed. Before I bought this I had never skated before, and now I'm decent at it. Just make sure to practice a little bit before you really use it

No sir. I skate barefoot most of the time, and it seems to have a good amount of grip to it.

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

As an long time skater myself, we had the kids blades sharpened, as it is always the best course when using any skates for the first time. It is not necessary to do so, but the kids will skate smoother and easier. Your local rink or sporting goods store should be able to do it quickly and inexpensively. Best regards!
