Are these suitable for rink and sidewalk?

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.

My experience with the cleats has been great traction on ice and snow. I did not notice any slippage on cleared asphalt or concrete. However inside they are very slippery on hardwood and laminate floors so I recommend taking them off as soon as you enter a building.

Yes and no. I wouldn't recommend them on grass as they would slide on you. If on concrete or other, they should be fine but don't expect to body slam people on these as they aren't super thick. And like the other said, I'd take them in every time. Rain is not your friend.

These can certainly be used outside, but they need a good flat surface - so not gravel or loose dirt. They work great on asphalt, concrete, and seamless wood.

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! :-)

yes, outdoor. I'm not quite sure what the options would be. (they can use SPD or Look cleats)

Not likely. We have only allowed our daughter on the sidewalk but our street is textured and these skates may do ok as they are made well but for a child learning to skate they would not be very sturdy for them in a street. Hope this helps:-)

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, we would never even wear them on our deck. It's best to wait till you are on ice covered ground to wear them.

These are really good. I love mine, but they run small. No need to remove on concrete, just be careful as they might slip with nothing to grip. Works great on ice tho!!

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.

No. You have to get them sharpened. Most rinks or sporting goods stores will do it for $5

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 also trail skate in these skates. I would recommend buying a set of softer outdoor wheels. The ones that come stock on the R3 aren't very good for outdoor in my opinion.

Sure. They will work in sand, mud, or snow. Anywhere you need to establish some traction and get your wheels moving a bit without spinning.

Yes I believe so. I suppose it you went to a fancy rink for professional skaters they'd have restrictions though. These are quite acceptable and even preferred over the rented skates at our local rink
