 Good beginner skates July 29, 2010

My seven year old wanted roller skates and we could not find any at retail stores (Target, Walmart, Dicks, etc). I did not want her in roller blades yet and that was all they sold. Happily we found several types of skates on Amazon! She dislikes pink so these were perfect for her. They are very sturdy, attractive skates for a beginner. She loves them and has had no problems skating in them. I also found they ran true to her shoe size. We ordered 1/2 size larger so she could wear them with thick socks.

Finding a good pair of skates for a girl was quite a chore There are more skates out there for women then girls. We didn't want professional skates and we didn't want single line skates. I looked for wheels that were rounded on the edge so they wouldn't be such a stiff ride. These skates are great. This was my 8 year old granddaughter's first pair of skates and they were easy for her to control once she was on her own, which didn't take long. One thing I highly recommend is getting the full set of protective gear, the ones with the open fingered gloves, what a scrape saver that was because if she fell, which was quite often at first, she hit the knee pads and caught herself with her hands and elbows so every time and got right back up without a tear or hesitation to keep going. They are also good quality. They ride nice, easy to control.

Great fit. My daughter loves them. Only complaint - they smell like band aids.

 Nail sticking up into shoe! May 2, 2010

My daughter, who just received these as a gift, asked me to re-insert the little foam insert into her skate. In doing so I noticed a thick, round piece of plastic jutting up in center of the heel area of the shoe. It was the size & shape of a pencil eraser, definitely not something that you want jutting into the heel of your child's foot.
I then pushed my hand further into the shoe to see if there were any more, and found a nail. The nail was sticking up into the shoe over a 1/4" of an inch. Seriously unacceptable! FYI, I am not referring to the two rivets that are visible if you remove the liner, I am talking about a metal spike sticking up into the shoe cavity.
If you have or are given these skates, please remove the foam inserts and check the insides of the shoes before giving them to a child. Better yet, purchase a higher-quality skate from a brand that exercises proper construction and quality control.
