Great for occasional or first timers.
Date:January 8, 2013
"Purchased as my first set of skates & was unsure how frequently I would use them. Ended up skatting everyday for a month. Still use them today as a back-up. (Got them around Jan09/2009)
Decent in terms of comfort, since they do take a while to break in, but afterwards slides on easy.
An issue I had with the skate was the support for the ankles. It's very sturdy, but went up a bit too high. After making sure it was tied tightly, it would rub against my leg very roughly, eventually leaving a scab because of my everyday use.
As for the durability, I noticed that the skate warped because of how tightly I tied my laces. Visual design slightly plain since it only comes in a black & white pattern, but costs made up for the lack of visual appeal.
I recommend them for light skatting, not competitive hockey."

not for hockey
Date:September 10, 2011
"If you're just skating around for a short period time then this would be OK to get otherwise you may experienced sore ankles from the side. the paddings is very thin and your feet will rub and will eventually cause a blister.
+1 for the price though"

decent
Date:September 21, 2009
"this skate is pretty good for occasional use. the one turn-off is the fact that it rusts. i use it once a week and after the game i wipe it dry. the next i check it out, the blade is rusted. although that doesn't really affect your game, it looks pretty ugly with rust."

pretty good for first timers
Date:February 19, 2009
"i'm a guy whose never skated in his life and i bought these for the first time and i have been skating pretty much 3-4 times a week and at first it was hard finding the right tightness of the skate in order to be comfortable in, but after a bit i got used to it. i would recomend this skate for anyone who wants to start skating i no ccm is a good name brand, but i dont no how long they will last because ive only had them for about 4 weeks now, but theyre still in awsome shape."

GOOD 4 OCCASSIONAL USE...NOT GODD 4 REGULAR USE!
Date:February 14, 2009
"I just bought these skates last weekend, & they were sharpened nicely, & worked really well.
if your some1 like me, who skates hardcore, pushing the skates to their limit, then these skates are not for you. you'll be required to get these skates sharpened every week. I usually skate about 4 times a week. so do the math.
Although these skates, are problematic for a guy like me, but they are still satisfying. & very comfortable. just make sure u don't tie them too tightly.
overall out of 10 i give it 5.0"

Decent but not perfect
Date:January 27, 2009
"Purchased these today, quite a decent fit, but not perfect. Still a little too narrow but wide enough for a not as painful fit. Try to get the skates sharpened before purchase... it was a bad decision to try the skates on ice first thing without a sharpen. The skates slide really easily and did not grind into the ice easily since they were dull. Overall price was really good, pretty light. Though may recommend some insoles because the insole already is quite thin and is not as comfy as a personally purchased one."

Durable and sufficient
Date:June 5, 2008
"I bought these skates for both my 'hockey players' til the PEEWEE level - most sizes made it thru 4 years of hockey as hand-me- downs (Girl & Boy). They would have lasted longer had my second child not scuffed off the toe covers. Having an 'Experienced & Skilled' skate sharpener person makes all the difference. If that person notices a flaw BEFORE sharpening... return/exchange them. I've bought brand name skates with handicapping flaws - unfortunately not known til after the sharpening by 'unprofessional'."

Check the construction first
Date:May 14, 2008
"Great price but you get what you pay for. For the beginner skater, it's fine. But the pair I bought had a construction flaw according to a hockey/skate shop where I took them in for sharpening. They said that the right skate actually had a curve in the boot when you look at them head-on from the back (heel to top of skate). I thought it was a ploy to get me to buy new ones from them but sure enough, the boot was slightly curved. Just make sure you thoroughly check the construction first inside and out (ex. blades are not misaligned, rivets appear properly set and don't protrude up when looking inside the boot underneath the insole, and no curves in boot)."

Can't Beat The Price
Date:April 10, 2008
"I bought these for my grandson, and for the price, you get excellent quality. Strong support, well made boot. They went to my younger grandson, and the support was still there for him. Both played hockey twice a week for 6 months, and these skates still look great! We buy all our hockey equipment from Canadian Tire for them, and CCM has always stood the test of time!"

Affordable skates
Date:April 9, 2008
"These are nice skates for the price. We have only had them 1 year, and only use them occasionally at best, but they look brand new. I bought them the day before we needed them for an outing, and I was so happy they were in stock at Canadian Tire, even at end of the season. Good value to get you out there on the ice."

Great for occasional Skater
Date:January 22, 2008
"I use those skates for the second year now and I have hardily any complains. The skates fit perfectly but seem a little bit too stiff in the ankle support.
Never the less, for the money I paid I'm happy. I get around on the ice and have fun with my kids."
