Review: Very comfy, and they seem to be good for a new skater. - So comfortable! When I read the reviews that said these were too wide, I knew I had to buy them. As a guy with a size 13E flat foot, finding comfortable things to put on my feet is a little tricky. These were the ticket. I will need to toss in an arch support insert, but other than that, they are great. The blades come very sharp, with a very pronounced hollow grind. In fact, they were too sharp. However, after a few hours on the ice, they wore down to a normal sharpness. They cut in well, support my ankle well, and all in all are pretty damn good. Especially worth what I paid. I don't think these would be good for anyone who did more than skate around a rink, but for my needs, they are wonderful.
Review: American Athletic Cougar Hockey Skates Review - I was looking for inexpensive hockey skates that had good ankle support to use for recreational pond skating. I decided to give these a try since they appeared to be the closet to what I was looking for (I liked the idea of the velcro strap for support). They arrived quickly and fit perfect (I wear an 11 and ordered an 11). I also ordered my wife a pair (in the pink style) as a xmas present and she said the size was true to her shoe size. We got them sharpened by a local guy and our first time out on the ice was just as we hoped! Good ankle support, comfortable, warm, easy to put on/take off. My wife and I were both pleased with the purchase. We had no issues so far with the velcro strap or the laces breaking; but due to other reviews we will make a conscious effort not to over tighten them just in case. Overall I would buy this product again and feel for the price range the quality, design and style exceeded our expectations.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I wear a woman's size 6 - is 6 the correct size? Or are the sizes listed men's?**
