Do these skates go over the ankles or below them?

over the ankle, my grandson loves these skates, I bought them for Christmas last year and he's still wearing them.

Both of my children have a pair of this brand of skates and neither one of them has ever taken them to the rink. They wear them inside the house sometimes but mostly outside on the sidewalks and street. Neighbor kids have worn them so they have gotten a lot of use for the past year! I imagine the wheels would be better if they were rink only but we didn't purchase them for that. We just wanted them to have a good skate and also had something to do OUTSIDE! :-)

HighI like them because I don't need to use risers. I find risers get it in the way with nose and tail slides. I've been skating since 1997. Hope this answers your question.

Hi, KKEEET. I bought these skates as a gift for a grandson. Have not given them to him yet, but I bought one or two sizes too large, purchasing heavy socks to take up the extra room. They are a bargain and very well made. Happy trails.

No, they just clear your ankle by an inch and a half or so. They don't get anywhere near my calf or soleus muscle.

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. ????

They are very very tight, but not much ankle support. I would think a specific ankle support type thing would be better.

My daughter wears a toddler 11, has the skates on the largest setting, and has not complained about the skates pinching her toes. That said, I noticed that she's wearing them way less often than she used to.

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.

Wherever there is ice (no matter how thick or thin)...the cleats will work. Most of the time the lakes are snow covered and the cleats are not needed. But, if you really want to feel secure...put them on. Trust me...you will remain vertical.

Yes, if you don't mind the little thumb tab that extends up from the basic wrap. I tried them on my ankles and they were long enough to attach securely. (Of course, I have rather thin ankles.) Hope this helps

Yes, the skates can be worn outside. They are fun for kids with having the light up feature but the lights eventually stop working. Overall still a nice buy.

yeah they do have small ankle protection, i wouldn't say a lot, but a little

No. As ankle supports go this one is good. The thickest part (still not real thick) is above a low cut shoe.

Good. They will give you a little bit of traction to get you moving again. They don't slip much, if at all, on ice.

We don't have them for our 3 daughters that all have this skate or a competing brand. They are 3, 6, & 8. With that said we also only use them at the Rollar Skating rink. If our girls where to use them outside we probably would get them. Hope this helps.

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!!
