Would these skates work for street hockey goalies? I'd really like to pick up some skates for that position but most are out of my price range.

I mean I couldn't see why not? You dont need special goalie skates to play goalie. Just worry about the wheels, the wheel they come with are made for indoor use.

They do have special goalie skates for roller hockey...look into those first, then decide if you think it's worth it to spend the extra cash on goalie design.

I don't like these skates much. I bought them and they hurt the first time and I thought I would get used to it but I didn't. I won't wear them again. I am not sure about what goaley skates need to be like but I don't recommend these.

Yes- the skates have a hard toe and good ankle protection, even for a goalie.

As in field hockey? I don't know how large they are compared to a baseball. If they're the same size then I suppose it would work. But it is intended to be at an angle and to cause pop flies, it doesn't sound like a field hockey type of play.

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

They have indoor wheels on the skates, which has ridges in them. So therefore should not be used outside. Find a skate that is labeled indoor/outdoor.

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

Yes you can... I installed them in my skates, and love them.... These are very fast, after you break them in, they are VERY fast!!!!

These are very high end skates, probably unsuitable (for safety reasons) for children. Therefore those sizes are probably not childrens' sizes.

My first suggestion would be the adjustable 1-4 size skate -- working out just fine. If I were to order a standard skate, I'd go with a 2. Marilyn

Gravel tends to get stuck in the grooves of the wheels and they need regular cleaning to make sure the grooves are free of debris. Also, if you're looking for speed, then these are not the skates for you. The grooves make them a bit slower than smooth wheels. If you are a beginner or haven't skated in many years, these are a great "starter" pair.

These work very well on mountain bikes. They would be very difficult / impossible to mount on a road bike. SKS Raceblades work very well for road bikes.

These are rink skates, not for outdoor. For outside skates you will need a harder compound of wheels and bearings specially made for outside skating.

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.

My son has had these for two years playing street hockey and just rolling around. One wheel stopped working, but did not fall off. Now we are trying to find new wheels for these.

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:-)

The problem is that my experience with the Chicago skates was that their sizes did not correlate with the regular shoe sizes. I would suggest going to a sporting goods store that carries skates or to a local skating rink and try on a pair that fits.

My kids 16 and 14, say they'll be fine on paved surface. They have used indoors at rink (skate nights, not hockey), and while not ideal there, they do ok. Outside, no complaints. These are harder than other wheels they've had, but they play pickup hockey mostly on medium asphalt.
