 Sizing is off December 2, 2008
The sizing is way off on these skates. The package says size 6 - 12 shoes, but my son's size 10 sneaker has to be jammed into the largest skate setting and it still doesn't rest on the bottom of the skate. We tried the same skates out a couple of months ago when he wore sandals, but a thicker shoe just isn't fitting. We like the fact that you get the pads and skates together, but we'll have to return the set since we want to use the skates longer. Unless your child has a small foot, I wouldn't recommend these skates.
 Spiderman Skates April 14, 2008
I bought these skates for my 2year-old eventhough i know he is too young and he loves it. The skates even fit my 5 year-old who knows how to use it and shows her brother how. So i would say for the price this is a good buy because it came with protective gear.
 I agree--sizing is way off. January 2, 2008

My son was wearing a size 9 or 9/12 shoe when he picked out these skates, and it was NOT easy to jam even such a small size in on the longest skate setting--especially with an impatient two-year-old wanting to get going. The pads, on the other hand, are plenty big. They slid around, though, if they were loose enough that our kiddo wasn't complaining about how tight and uncomfortable they were.
Once rolling, the skates do pretty well--the wheel setup is pretty decent for starters, I think. The wheels don't stick too much or spin at a frightening speed.
Good concept--just wish we could've used it longer.
Buckle not working December 29, 2007
I agree, the sizing is off. Regular sneakers (bulky) won't work with these...only my son's size 10 Van's fit inside the skates...barely. They are great beginner skates and I love the pads. He keeps falling out of the skates because the buckle doesn't stay buckled on one of the skates, so I am going to see if I can bring them back.
A very disappointed 4 year old December 25, 2007

I bought these for my 4 year old, knowing he wouldn't be able to wear them long, but thought they would be a good beginner skate for him and then we'll get him new ones for his birthday in a few months. He wears an 11 1/2, and the shoe wouldn't even fit in his skate. We pulled out 11's, and they didn't fit with his feet in the shoes, though we could cram them in without his shoes on his feet. So, they will go back tomorrow and we'll just get him regular skates.
