Women's Figure Ice Skates - Lace-Up Adjustable Comfortable Skates for Girls & Adults with Free Skate Guards - Perfect for Indoor & Outdoor Ice Rinks, Hockey Practice, and Recreational Skating

First, I have to give a tribute to my old ice skates. I got them when I was 14 or 15 from the J.C. Penny catalog. This was back when the penny's catalog was a thick book with glossy color pages of everything you could think of that you might need. I bought them with my baby sitting money. I think they were around $40. When you make $3 an hour that was a lot of money. I had been a self-taught mall ice rink skater for a long time always wearing the orange plastic rental skates and dreaming of my own pair of white skates that would make me a real skater. My prized white skates served me well for 30 plus years until I had to admit that they were now too small and they killed my feet.So new skates were in order now that my grown daughter is taking adult beginner lessons so that she can take her kids skating some day like I took her skating. My new skates feel soooooooo good on my feet. They are the right size (God bless) and wider than my old skates to give room for pregnancy and gravity induced foot spread over the last 30 years. Taking them out for a spin at the rink with my daughter was great fun. My skating is a. little slower and a little more convervative than it once was but brings back so many fun memories and was lovely to share that time with my daughter. For a pair of recreational, "I just want pretty white skates not rental skates" these are a great choice.
