Can anyone recommend any good Hockey Skates?

Hockey Skates...for a 3 year old...?

• Can anyone recommend skates that would fit a three year old? He's a size 8 currently...Would I still by them a half size smaller like I did when I played hockey or does it really ...show more

• Answer:

  DO NOT start him out with figure skates. He will get used to the tying up at the ankles and get used to the toe picks. Then when you try to switch him over to hockey skates he will trip because hes so used to the figure skates and he will feel as if his ankle isnt as supported. Im a figure skater and a volenteer coach to the younger kids and i've known many little kids who come in one day with figure skates then the next day with hockey skates and there just a mess. Whatever sport he decides to take use the proper skates designed. Also, I wouldnt buy a size smaller in anything, hes 3, hes feet are going to grown extreme amount in a year, go with a size or even 1/2 a size bigger for now. Or go with a trade up plan.
