Would the be suitable for ice skating?

You should be able to. I wear them snowboarding so I don't move my legs as much but it's not very constricting.

Have'nt had a chance to use them yet as we are having a drought here in California.

I think they would do just fine ice skating. They may not always stand up to rough asphalt, but ice is much more forgiving. I don't see why not!

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

They would work excellent. They come with a sticky set of feet that screw on and are very durable. My wife specifically used these for snowy, icy days this last winterand they provided excellent stability. They are very durable.

I would say yes. The wheels are good material, high quality and can be used indoors and outdoors.

I think you're correct. Not saying for sure but I'd try it. You can always return. They are good ice skates and I think she will be happy with them -- my twin granddaughters love them! Hope my answer helps you.

Probably, but it would depend on the tread of the boot. You would want something grippy like the bottom of a skate shoe, not hard, for the pins to dig into. Five Ten makes hiking and work boots that would work great.

The stabilizers do a great job on ice and snow. When you wear them in on a hard floor you might keep in mind that you can slip.

I am a 6.5 in real life, but I wear a 6 in ice skates. It is good for the skates to be a little snug to prevent injuries. I would go with the 6.

Hockey skates are a subcategory of ice skates. They are firmer/stiffer/more stable around the ankles and do not have a toe-pick like figure skates and the blade is not as long as speed skates. These are good for a growing child who wants to just have fun and skate.

It depends on kind of skating the skater wants to do. The wheels are fairly hard, so longer gliding rides aren't as possible as with the cruiser style wheels. If you want to do tricks, then the wheels should fine. I bought this as a first skateboard for my daughter to learn on. I then got a cruiser for my son. The difference in the ride-ability was noticeable.

Yes, you can skate outdoors with them without a problem. However, what I have found in doing so are unsightly scrapes and gouges on the skates from where my daughter has taken a fall on the pavement.

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.

Yes, my daughter uses them at the local skating rink and they perform great she loves them.

Absolutely! My kids both used these skates. They are well made and can be used indoors or outdoors!

I bought them to wear snowboarding. They are amazingly well built maybe even for iceskating. They are, however, VERY rigid so they may be too stiff for certain movements. Keep in mind that size M would MAYBE fit a young teen.

Hmmm my kids don't really skate outside because our driveway is too rough, but I don't see why you couldn't. I like these skates a lot, actually I have a pair for both of my daughters and myself because I liked them so much. They take them to the rink or skate around the house. If we have a smoother driveway, I'm sure they would skate outside with them too.

I think they would be too thick for that. Look for something thinner. They are also kind of stiff and would be uncomfortable for that kind of use. They are good, I wanted a heavier pair to wear when it is colder. I forgot that once I get going the cold does not matter.
