Riedell Topaz Adult Ice Skates - Competitive Figure Ice Skates with Stainless Steel Capri Blade

I sized according to the chart and they fit me perfectly. No defects on my skates and they are way more comfortable than my Jackson Artiste.

My daughter has been skating for years. She has needed new skates and these are PERFECT for her! They are tight and thick around the ankles which makes it great for figure skaters!

I recently took ice skating lessons (as an adult) and these were the skates I picked. I love them so much and they are very beautiful. What I didn't know was that with any kind of ice skate, blades tend to rust quickly, which is the case with mine. Overall, I'm extremely happy with my purchase and would recommend to a friend. The gems were the cherry on top.

Very soft and comfortable boots

Gorgeous skates really, very well made and comfortable

My wife recently purchased these skates. To be clear, she is not a competitive skater, but an avid enjoyer of getting out on the ice every winter. We now live in a place where there is a nearby lake that freezes over every winter and so she wanted to own skates that she has at the ready whenever the skating urge strikes. Also, given it's a lake, there kind of are not rental options around.She is a runner and wanted to make sure she got a higher quality pair skates that would support her ankles and wouldn't abrade her skin, etc. These are really nicely made for comfort and support, so they have fit the bill. The ankle area is much more nicely padded than we were used to expect from rentals as kids. The blade is super high quality and I suspect will last a long time before we need to find a place to get them sharpened. They also just have a look and feel of high quality construction overall.She did get one skate in at a local rink and found them surprisingly comfortable right out of the box. She is going to need to break them in a bit, of course, but a really good start with them the first go around.Perhaps these are overkill for her recreational needs, but this may very well be the last pair of skates she'll need to purchase. She can't wait for the winter now!

I ordered size 11 which is what I wear in most shoes. I also wear size 11 Bauer hockey skates that fit fine. But I could barely jam my foot into these. And yes I did remove all the paper from the toes of the boot. Clearly these are designed to be very tight up front, but I will never understand why some manufacturers think that having your foot squeezed so tight that the bones are scrunched and no blood can flow is somehow great for athletic endevours. I don’t buy Nike’s for the same reason.In addition, these arrived scuffed, even though they were clearly fresh from the manufacturer.Returning these and wont even try 12s cuz these are just to narrow.

Beautiful white, grey + teal accent skates1. True to size - Be warned that there is a small piece of paper in the toe of your skates that may have you thinking the sizing is way off - it’s not. I wear a 37 in Birkenstocks, and a 7 in dr. Martens. The size 7 ice skates were perfect after the toe paper was removed.2. These have some bling. There are three gems on the back of each ankle, and a bar of gems at the toe of your laces. The ankle gems seem permanent, but the toe bar could probably be removed.3. The boots do not come with a dust bag, or anything more than the temporary blade covers. If you’re giving these as a gift, I’d also get a pair of blade covers and a storage bag.
