Riedell Sparkle Ice Skates - Comfortable, Beautiful Recreational Ice Skates for Women and Men with Supportive Uppers and Smooth Stainless Steel Blades

After getting it sharpened at a rink I used it for the first time. Feel so comfortable than most rentals I used and they are very stable, offered good support. Size wise my feet is thin and the down-half size from sport shoes strategy works well for me. As a new skater this was definitely a good purchase! Also the skater looks beautiful, giving me more motivation to enjoy my skating time.

I recently purchased these Riedell ice skates, and I’m so impressed! They’re extremely comfortable and made it super easy to glide smoothly across the ice. The fit was perfect right out of the box, and I felt like a pro skater within minutes. Highly recommend for anyone looking for quality skates—whether you’re just starting out or getting back into skating!

Beautiful white, glitter accents. Very sturdy. Felt amazing! Definitely size up. I wear a size 8 ordered a 9.

I started skating this year (2024) and I was looking for a chic style and budget-friendly skates. I tried this one out, and I was so happy!!! The ankle part is thick - which they said is meant for professionals - but I feel so supported that I am not afraid that I will break my ankle. Be sure to sharpen them upon arrival. Also, I wear 10 on women's shoes, and I got myself a size 9 on this skate. It would feel big if you wear thin socks, but since I prefer thick socks it's great for me.

My daughter is just getting into skating and the only thing that has ever held her back (besides falling on her tush) was the discomfort of wearing skates. We talked to a figure skating instructor who advised us to look for skates with a padded upper ankle support. These skates slid right on with no complaints. I asked her repeatedly after practice if her skates hurt and she said no. I’d definitely recommend these skates if your child is complaining of their feet or ankles hurting with skating.

I really strongly dislike these. They are the most painful ice skates I’ve ever put on! I measured, followed the sizing chart, and ordered accordingly, but these hurt! I have other Russell’s and they feel fine. This particular style is very uncomfortable. I wanted the sparkle but not the aches. Nope! Might return or see if someone else wants them.

I usually wear size 7.5 sneakers and so I ordered size 7 ice skates. They are too narrow and small for me so I returned them. I ordered Jackson size 7 instead and they fit fine. The item was packaged well and I was issued refund promptly. Really appreciate it!

These were recommended by our skate coach as we needed something a bit better than the baseline skates we found on Amazon. Yes, they are a bit pricier but they offer a far better ankle support which will save your ankles from an injury and are worth the money. Don’t forgot to factor in sharpening. Great for a relatively novice skater just starting to work on more advanced turns/maneuvers.

Beautiful skates, true to pictures. The sparkles add a little something that's for sure ✨ I wear 8.5 to 9 in shoe size, I ordered a 8 based off Riedell's woman size chart. The length is perfect, but they are very narrow !!! And I have rather large feet. So I hope I'll be able to "break" those real fast 😅 I did not try them yet, but they look and feel super sturdy. I wouldn't recommend them to perform jumps though. They're obviously more like high quality recreational skates. I'll update my review after a couple of weeks of use ☺️
