Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

My daughter, who just received these as a gift, asked me to re-insert the little foam insert into her skate. In doing so I noticed a thick, round piece of plastic jutting up in center of the heel area of the shoe. It was the size & shape of a pencil eraser, definitely not something that you want jutting into the heel of your child's foot. I then pushed my hand further into the shoe to see if there were any more, and found a nail. The nail was sticking up into the shoe over a 1/4" of an inch. Seriously unacceptable! FYI, I am not referring to the two rivets that are visible if you remove the liner, I am talking about a metal spike sticking up into the shoe cavity. If you have or are given these skates, please remove the foam inserts and check the insides of the shoes before giving them to a child. Better yet, purchase a higher-quality skate from a brand that exercises proper construction and quality control.
