Children's Ice Skates These skates have two blades for added stability, making it easier to stand compared to regular skates, even for first-time skaters. I purchased these used, never used before, and I've used them about twice. The American size is a size 9. My child used these when they were in their first year of elementary school, and their regular shoe size was 16cm. The skates fit perfectly, so I've listed them as 16cm. There is some red pen graffiti, but I will send them in the original box. The light blue piping is peeling off due to deterioration. Please check the images for the condition of the blades, etc. How about these unique two-blade skates for your child's first time ice skating?
