Horizon Ice Skates: Perfect For Skaters Just Starting Out

The Riedell Horizon is a casual, entry-level ice skate set that beginners and parents can enjoy. This model is a great choice for skaters starting their first lessons or recreational skaters looking for fun on the ice at a value price. The boots’ lightweight construction and support make learning to glide, stop, and turn natural and enjoyable.

Why Horizon Skates Are Ideal for Entry-Level Skaters

• Light support rating (20) gives flexibility and control for beginners.
• Soft, padded liner and rolled collar keep feet comfortable during longer sessions.
• Ergonomic toe fit provides a modern shape for natural foot positioning.
• PVC outsole reduces maintenance while keeping the boot lightweight.
• Affordable price makes them a great choice for new skaters.
• Stainless steel blades offer grip and glide for basic skating skills.

Features for Beginners

Designed with first-time skaters in mind, the Horizon skate set emphasizes comfort and confidence over stiffness and precision. Its soft, padded interior supports developing ankles, while the split tongue design makes lacing easier and helps maintain a secure, flexible fit. 

The boot’s shape and materials are optimized for comfort right out of the box. That way, skaters can focus on learning, not breaking in the boot.

Comfortable Support

The Horizon’s plush lining and rolled collar provide soft cushioning around the ankle for all-day comfort. The supportive design helps stabilize new skaters without feeling restrictive, encouraging natural movement and balance. 

Whether you’re practicing edges or taking your first turns, the Horizon provides reliable support that grows with your confidence.

Quality Materials

Built from durable synthetic materials, the Riedell Horizon offers both longevity and low maintenance. The lightweight PVC outsole resists moisture and requires no special care, while the synthetic uppers remain flexible over time. 

Inside, a breathable padded liner keeps feet warm and comfortable. Together, these quality components make the Horizon a worry-free option for recreational skating.
