Questions & Answers
They work well both indoors and outdoors at the rink.
I believe it will be quite large for a three-year-old child. It's a good size for my seven-year-old daughter - She is currently wearing a size 31.
They're extremely tight, and the outside straps allow you to tighten them even more. They are not at all like the adjustable skates we used to have. Much, much better.
Selected User Reviews For Roller Derby Trac Star Girl's Adjustable Roller Skates
I purchased these for my 6-year-old daughter so that we could all go skating together. Before I bought these, she had never skated before, but she quickly picked it up! We changed the wheels to make the skate roll more smoothly and quickly, similar to roller skates at the rink. I wanted her to be able to skate both indoors and outdoors, so these were a pleasant surprise; she's used them both indoors and outdoors and loves them. She's been knocked down a few times, but she always gets back up. I also got her big sister a pair of skates from the same brand, which I really like. br>br>I was perplexed the first few times we put these skates on because her foot wouldn't fit both the boot insert and the skate at the same time, so we had to undo the straps, remove the boot insert, put the boot on her foot first, then put the skate on and redo the straps. I wish there were instructions for this because I was always concerned about our safety every time we did it. She can now put them on herself without having to remove the boot insert first after about ten uses, so I guess she's broken them in?.
She adores them and insists on practicing with them every afternoon after I get home from work. She'd never skated before, so I figured these skates would be a good place to start for her, and I was right. They provide good support for her foot, and they come with the wheels tightened up so she can get used to them before adjusting them for smoother operation later. My daughter is a one-size-fits-all kind of girl. The medium skate (12-inch) is the most popular size. 2) It was a perfect fit. My older child is a size 2 in clothing. They were a little too snug.
They are extremely popular with my 4-year-old daughter. Skates are an incredible invention. My daughter wears a size 12 toddler shoe, which can be adjusted to a size 2. It's ideal for new skaters. These are not children's skates; you must be able to skate in order to use them. My four-year-old daughter is learning to skate, and she adores these. They're easy to put on, adjust, and tighten up, and they fit perfectly.
These are true KIDDIE skates that may be appropriate for small children under the age of five. My daughter is eight years old and has previously used roller skates, so these simply did not meet her expectations, and I had to return them. They're lovely, but they're not what I was looking for. br>br>I got these today and thought they were simple to adjust because I had just bought another adjustable skate for my older daughter. Although that one didn't come with instructions, I was able to figure out how to adjust these after watching a video online. To make them larger or smaller, simply push in the button on the bottom side of the skate and pull or push together. The boot liner, according to my daughter, is too tight. Maybe all she needs to do now is get used to them. She does, however, seem to enjoy them so far. The real test will be when we go to the roller rink on Friday!.
Summary of the DR: Advantages: br>br>
- Liner that can be removed and washed
- The buckles are safe and simple to adjust. br>- Adapts to your child's changing needs.
- It's ready to use when you get it.
- Toe stop that can be removed and replaced
- The hardness of the wheels is suitable for both indoor and outdoor skating. br>br>Contrary to popular belief, there are a number of disadvantages to using this product.
- There is a lack of quality control.
- Once your child has mastered the fundamentals, the low-cost bearings may be a hindrance.
- A dedicated indoor/outdoor wheel will always outperform a wheel that is only used indoors. br>br>I bought these for my daughter because she wanted to learn to skate, and she still loves to use them on a daily basis after over a year of ownership, but she has outgrown one feature on which this review will focus: the wheels and bearings While I wouldn't expect a $40 pair of children's skates to include high-tech features, end ABEC- I had hoped that at the very least, they would have included bearings that could roll on their own for more than a few seconds when rating bearings. Don't get me wrong: I think it's great that you're interested in learning more I understand that these are beginner skates, and that you don't want your child slipping and sliding on their first pair, as control and balance are critical to learning everything that follows, but they could have at least included a nicer pair of quality ABEC 3 bearings, and allowed the buyer to adjust the tightness (and mobility) as the child's confidence and skill grew. br>br>Aside from that, the reason I deducted a star wasn't because of the original bearings' quality, but rather because of what happened when I attempted to replace the default bearings. I noticed that other reviewers had swapped out the stock bearings for higher-quality Bont ABEC-II bearings, so I bought a pair of Bont ABEC-II bearings. In order to upgrade and extend the skate's usability, I purchased 5 bearings from a reputable skate manufacturer, believing that I couldn't go wrong with bearings from a reputable skate manufacturer. Imagine my disappointment when I went to install the Bont 608Z bearings, which are the same size as the stock bearings, only to discover that they wouldn't fit in the axel! I wasn't sure what to make of it at first. Is it possible that it was the bearings or the skate that caused the problem? After that, I decided to test the fit with my own Atom Bionic ABEC 7 bearings, and I ran into the same issue. Upon closer inspection, I discovered that some of the axels below the threading had not been machined flush with the threading and instead jutted out just enough to prevent the installation of custom bearings, which, by the way, all met the standard 8mm size requirement on any other skate. I couldn't return or even request a replacement under warranty because we'd had the skates for over a year. It was then that I decided to use sandpaper to try to mill down the axles. I used to grind burrs with a 120-degree angle grinder. I taped up the threads to prevent damage and was able to successfully sand down enough material to allow for a proper fit with grit sand paper. Something that should have taken me 30 minutes ended up taking me well over an hour due to a lack of quality control. br>br>Again, I doubt many people reading this will care about the ability to replace the default bearings, but if your child gets to the point where they are comfortable skating and you notice it takes a lot of effort to move or maneuver, chances are it's the bearings, as the boot, liner, and even the truck, with its limited flexibility, are all pretty good for the price. br>br> She was able to turn and maneuver without the assistance of a wall or the obvious struggle that she had been displaying previously. She's even begun practicing skating backwards, which she couldn't do with the stock bearings. br>br>So, once more: The skate itself is decent for the price, especially for a beginner skate, but if you think you'll be upgrading the wheels or bearings in the future, buyer beware of potential quality control issues.
I bought these for my 6-year-old daughter for Christmas last year, and she was thrilled with the hot pink and green colors. These are excellent first roller skates for her, as she is only learning to skate. The colors are vibrant, and the quality is excellent for the price; I especially like that they can be adjusted to fit her as she grows. I did, however, follow the advice of others and go up a size. You get the most value for your money because these grow along with your child.
