They should sell toddler size skates at a local sports authority store in your area.

Reply:It'll help to know where you live so people can direct you to an actual store. Play-It-Again Sports has el cheapo sports equipment, but I don't know if there's one in your area because you didn't mention where you live.
Reply:I would and did take my little kiddo to a store specializing in hockey equipment. The reason being is that skates come a little different in their models (so a Bauer "7" will not fit the same as a CCM "7"), Bauer, for example, tend to be a better fit for people with long, slim feet, while CCM is generally a better match for wider feet.





Although many people tend to determine their size of shoes based on the distance from the heal to the toe, it's not a good way to buy skates (nor shoes for that matter). The measurements you need to concern yourself with are the arch and the distance from your heal to the Sesamoid bone (basically where your toes begin). If the toes then end up being "short in the skate," it's okay becasue the foot is stabile while the feet are still comfortable but snug (this is true even for regular shoes although it may take some time to get used to it in the beginning). Someone who works in a store can easily measure out your childs feet and order what you need (quick and easy). I have never heard of anyone being asked to pay for anything until you have tried the skates on and verified that they fit nicely - the stores can return any pair of skates as long as the blades hasn't been sharpened.





Also, my son has played hockey since he was 4, so I know how expensive it can get to buy new pads and gear as they grow up. I usually buy most everything from consignment stores, like Play-it-Again-Sports, and sell it back when he has outgrown something. However, skates can get a bit broken down and very uncomfortable the second time around, so I encourage you to spend a little bit more money on those as:





a) it's no fun to skate if you're not comfy.


b) We only have 2 feet and 2 ancles, and they are supposed to last us our entire lives without spares, so they're worth taking care of.





Sounds like a headache? The good news is that once you've found a model that works (in my sons case, CCM), you can usually stay with that brand and model (or the next generation of that model) as the years go by. The boot architechture doesn't change much.





Lastly, don't get caught up on all the bells and whistles. It's about having fun and enjoying innocent play. Remember that our children may love skating today, but one day they wake up and want to play the piano, at what point we all have to run out for a new Steinway %26amp; Sons and build out the living room for added space and optimized acoustics.





I wish you the best of luck, and I hope you get out there to skate as well! It's something my son still talks about and wants to do when the "season" is over and the ice time frees up.
