Then N9000 will very likely be too stiff for you then, might prohibit the learning of proper habits like edgework and proper knee bend if they're too stiff.
Stores like Play it Again Sports should have some used skates as well. They're always a go-to.
Nothing different in particular. Anyway to buy from somewhere where she can try on a few pairs?
Then why not just take him to a local shop to try on some fits and buy from them? Can't emphasize enough the importance of trying on different skates in person. Don't just use your local rink shop as a sizing station either, give them the sale if there's something proper!I’m not opposed to used vs new (although his mom may be...), but the models I’ve seen online weren’t too expensive, $45 to $60, brand new. What website would you recommend to find good used gear?
He can likely be sized in one of our local rink pro shops. Hadn’t even dawned on me.

Does anyone have any tips about sizing skates for women? I'm tempted to get my girlfriend her first pair of skates for the holidays. We've skated a few times but she always has to wear rentals and she hates it understandably. Thinking about ordering her some starter skates from a site with a solid return policy in case they don't fit well, but I'd like to have the best odds of a good fit at least.
