Are these indoor or outdoor skates...or hopefully both???

I think they are both but i only use indoors. They are for beginners and by no means a "Speed" skate. The wheels are very wide and have a strong grip on them. I think they would be better for outdoor. I agree that they are hard to skate indoors with. very comfortable on your feet though.

I bought them to use at the rink, but are more outdoor, the grip on the wheels seemed to rubbery for the rink and made it hard to skate in there!

No, probably not. These skates are in womens' sizes. You will probably need to look for skates in "girls'" sizes.

My granddaughter uses them on the sidewalk. We don't have a skating rink so I really cant say. They look like shoes that could be worn at a rink but I really don't know.

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

I can't say for sure but I can say that my daughter wears hers for indoor and outdoor skating. I will say also, that for my daughter, they really do take a beating during the 2 indoor practices each week and during the roller derby bouts as well. She uses them more on wooden floors but she has also used them on concrete, asphalt and sport court flooring. They're affordable and durable, at least they have been for us :)

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.

I wouldn't buy these, the bearings were shot when ours arrived. The skates are very shaky to ride on. It costs more to fix replace the bearings than the skates are probably worth. It pays to buy local, directly from a rink.

It's probably more for outdoor use, but I don't see why it couldn't be used indoors. I wouldn't suggest using it for both. The treads may pick up more dirt/grit outside, then may scratch the floors if used inside. As it is a rubber exterior, it may also make scuff marks on indoor floors. As long as you make sure it's clean, I don't think it would really hurt to use it inside. I've seen in other reviews where people use it for both.

Yes they are outdoor wheels. My daughter skates outside everyday after school and they have held up nicely.

I do not know. They are not wheels you would see on a ramp/park skateboard. They are softer than those for sure. I am happy with them but you may want better bearings than the kind that came with them.

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.

I am sure you can us it in door or out door but the wheels have ridges on them. Indoor wheels should be some what softer.

My daughter uses these primarily on asphalt, but can also skate on the concrete sidewalk. It may depend on te condition of the concrete too. She is a beginning level skater.

I bought the skates to be used at an indoor skating rink and yes the sizes are the same as the shoe sizes.

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

Since there are "treads", snow does build up in them. No different than the soles of a shoe, really. Not sure about icy conditions, as we avoid them.

you are buying ADJUSTABLE SIZED skates. Go to the Bladerunner website and see whatever the retailer may mean by the post!!!
