Riedell ice skates?
I started out with the Reidell Blue Ribbon%26#039;s and am still in them 14 months later (currently having coaching in ice dance), and only just thinking of having to upgrade my boots and blades.





If your knees fell together when you skated before, it is not necessarily your knees. Beginner skaters often don%26#039;t have the strength and the confidence to stay upright on their blades, so their feet fall inwards, which would affect a %26quot;knock kneed%26quot; look. It is extremely common.- as I said, because of a lack of strength (which very quickly develops), and also because skating on the %26quot;inside edge%26quot; of the blade feels a lot more stable.





If it is your knees or your feet, you can buy insoles that can help. There are some insoles particularly developed for skaters (I think) called Superfeet.
Reply:You usually grow out of %26quot;knocked knees%26quot; but if you still have the condition and it affected your skating, it won%26#039;t matter which skates you use.





As far as Riedell skates, they are a terrific brand.
Reply:I believe the skating would actually be helpful to get rid of the problems. Some skaters have used skating as therapy for various problems...back problems, club feet, etc. I doubt that the skates themselves caused more problems, unless they were were not fitted for your feet properly, but that wouldn%26#039;t affect your knees.





Personally, I think Riedells are great skates for beginners. Check their website. They have a chart that lists skating levels beginner to advanced and they match it up with which model skate is recommended for each ability level.





Good luck!
Reply:This is a question you should ask a qualified skate fitter or a coach who knows her/his stuff.





I grew up skating in Reidell skates only to discover a reason I was having pain in them and crappy edges was due to pronation of my feet and legs. I switched to SP-Teri and everything%26#039;s been great since then.





It%26#039;s hard to say if Reidell is a good boot. It%26#039;s more appropriate to say that it%26#039;s a good skate for SOME skaters and not for others. It usually depends entirely on the skater and their feet.
