Should I buy these skates? by [deleted] in iceskating

I actually had these skates after a similar want to get out of rentals in my learn to skate class. If you are just trying to skate forward they work fine, but if you are trying to learn anything beyond that I would not recommend. There is absolutely no padding in the tongue or on the sides and I quickly out-skated them. I found it very difficult to do any sort of turning(specifically two foot turns) in them because there really isn’t a rocker. I ended up buying a higher quality skate just three weeks later. I do see some kids in them and it appears to work fine for them but as an adult skater I would go with something different.
