  • Perfect starter skate!

    I’ve coached hockey at all levels of minor hockey and these are the best on the market for new skaters. One of the things kids do is lean too far back and fall backwards. The design of these allows them to catch themselves before they do improving confidence and balance. Our kids loved them and loved to skate because of them. Highly recommend! @reynolds19

  • It works!

    I chose this skates for my 3 yr old to give her an advantage and to avoid her giving up and end up hating skating while she learns. This skates does prevent painful rear falls. She stays up longer than the other older kids in her class and shes already marching and gliding forward while other kids in her class are still trying to keep their balance. @aprilligores
