Riedell Horizon Recreational Ice Skates, White, Size 7 — Waterproof Beginner Skates with Spiral Stainless Steel Blades

Riedell Horizon ice skates are lightweight, waterproof recreational skates designed to give beginners steady ankle support and a smooth stainless steel glide.

The Riedell Horizon blends beginner-friendly stability with durable materials so you can learn basic moves, cruise a neighborhood pond or enjoy recreational rink sessions with confidence. Built with a plush rolled collar, waterproof synthetic upper and low-maintenance PVC outsole, these skates balance comfort and longevity without the complexity of performance-level boots. The stainless steel Spiral blades are shaped for easy, predictable control on indoor and outdoor ice.

How do these skates support beginners on the ice?

The Horizon provides modest ankle support that stabilizes your foot while still allowing natural movement—ideal for new skaters who need security without feeling locked in. The padded rolled collar reduces rubbing and helps maintain a comfortable fit during longer sessions.

• Support rating: Light (20 on a 1–100 scale) for approachable stability
• Plush rolled collar cushions the ankle to prevent chafing
• Synthetic upper delivers structured fit with some flex for balance
• Traditional lacing lets you fine-tune snugness across the foot

Will these hold up for casual outdoor and rink use?

Yes—these skates use a waterproof synthetic upper and a robust PVC outsole, which resist moisture and require minimal upkeep after skating outdoors. The combination helps the boot remain usable season after season for recreational outings.

• Waterproof synthetic upper for wet-ice durability
• No-maintenance PVC outsole resists wear and salt exposure
• Reinforced stitching and materials designed for repeated casual use

How do the Spiral stainless steel blades affect skating feel?

The stainless steel Spiral blades are polished for a predictable, smooth glide that suits learning edges and basic turns. They’re shaped to promote easy control instead of aggressive carving, which helps new skaters focus on balance and basic technique.

• Stainless steel resists rust and holds an edge for recreational skating
• Blade profile optimized for stability and straightforward steering
• Prepared for use out of the box with typical recreational blade geometry

Are these the right skates for different foot shapes and sizes?

The Horizon fits many foot types thanks to its classic laced design and forgiving synthetic materials. Sizing tends to follow standard skate sizing; if you wear orthotics or need a very snug performance fit, consider trying on or sizing accordingly.

• Traditional laces allow customized tension across instep and ankle
• Synthetic upper accommodates moderate foot shape variation
• Available in common recreational sizes for men and women

Who is this for: The Riedell Horizon is aimed at first-time skaters and casual recreational users who want a dependable, comfortable skate for rink sessions and occasional outdoor outings. If you’re learning basics, cruising socially, or need a low-maintenance boot that looks clean and classic in white, the Horizon offers sensible support and durable construction without the price or stiffness of advanced figure or hockey boots.
