Review overview
SMILE skates are comparatively good and stable on ice. Dressing them is easy. The model is really suitable for mastering the basic basics of riding... But some consumers pay attention to the insufficient reliability of the fastening. Also, these mounts are somewhat long and can "drag" along the ice.
Evaluating Sofia White JR, they pay attention to their strength and reliability. Such skates retain their shape for a long time, even with very active exercises. The design of this model is also quite pleasant. But it is worth noting that sometimes it is "small in size". In general, the product justifies its cost.
Popular Jumper JRs allow you to at least skate the season without problems and accidents. A comfortable fit on the leg was also noted. It is quite convenient to move these skates apart, adapting their size to changing needs. The design is designed for 2-3 seasons. The only weakness is occasionally feet are cold.
Among the women's figure skates, Bella stands out for the better. It is not only convenient, but also a visually beautiful product. Its advantages are also:
- convenience of lacing;
- high-quality fixation on the leg;
- ease.
The Marvel model is praised for:
- beauty and convenience;
- decent value for money;
- a decent level for beginners to go out on the ice;
- high quality fasteners;
- ergonomics of the inner part.
Choosing Lawal, you can rest assured:
- no risk of squeezing and other inconveniences;
- the use of comfortable natural materials;
- perfect compliance with requests in an inexpensive price segment;
- the opportunity to master the basics of figure skating (but for a professional lesson, they need equipment of a higher level).
Reviews of the NDW 550 skates emphasize that they hold the foot well.... The thermal insulation is also at a decent level. This model looks stylish outwardly and meets all the needs of amateur hockey players. What is nice, it fits even on wide feet. Only in some cases there are complaints about difficulty with tightening, but this is largely a subjective moment.
