We bought our son his first pair of skates for his second birthday at Sport Chek. The only advice I have is to make sure they fit properly. We bought them one size biger than his shoe size to make sure his toes weren't squished. He's never complained about them being sore, only if they're tied too tightly. As for sizes, the ones we bought are size 9, but I'm pretty sure Sport Chek had at least a size 7, maybe smaller.
