Do they have your size in the womens skates? If so you can spray paint them black. But if you like the color than try to get them costum made.

There's no real rule why a man can't wear white boots. If you can find a pair to fit you, you can certainly wear them. But it's sort of an unspoken rule - men don't wear white boots. Those are ladies' boots.
If you don't mind people looking at you funny, you can wear white boots. However, boots are expensive. Most skaters only have one pair at a time. So, do you compete? If you compete, I probably wouldn't do anything that might alienate the judges. Therefore, if you buy white boots, be sure to have boot covers for competitions.
A cheaper option would be to wear your existing boots, but buy white boot covers. In fact, you could buy boot covers in several colors, and switch them out as the mood hits.

Sorry, but I saw a boy wearing white ice skates and it was one of the weirdest things I've ever seen. But then again, some people enjoy being weird. So cutsom made would probably be the way for you. I saw a few pairs once that were painted like the American flag, and another that was like Converse tennis shoes.

If you order boots from a company that does custom boots like Sp-Teri, Harlick, or even Klingbeil you can get them in whatever color you like - even white. But to get a men's boot in white, you will have to special order them which is EXPENSIVE - usually they start at about $550 and go up from there.

why would you perfer ladies skating boots? you can have them custom made, which would probably be good, but you could do that for men's boots too. Well, whatever you decide, dont be afraid to try it cause it might make you feel more confident and skate better. oh and just as a side question, (so i dont have to use my points) what level are you on? do you know how to do an axel?

Err, it is rather unusual, but you can get them! My friend had a pair because the black ones were too uncomfortable. There's no difference between men and ladies boots other than the colour. Get some from Risport or Jackson

I don't think they make white men's boots in men sizes. You could probably have them custom-made. I haven't seen any males wearing white boots, either. Start a new trend!

They don't make them in men's sizes, i guess you could get them custom, but that would be kinda wierd. Black boots look much better on men

I think you can get them custom made. But white boots get dirty more easily.
