Are these difficult for a kid who is just starting? My 5 year old is size 12- should I get youth Y11-1?

These are perfect for beginners. My daughter was 5 and she loved these. Start her out inside on the carpet till she gains some confidence then on to a tile floor before letting her outside. Make sure she wears her helmet and pads. And yes, that is the right size.

This ones should be just perfect for your child. They ate light and easy to handle. Good Luck

I purchased this size for 5 & 6 yr. olds. AT first they might have worn thick socks...but they sure got a lot of wear out of them. And I got my moneys worth. Too big is better than too small. They can at least grow into them.

I ordered the infant pair (small) for my 1 year old. His head circumference has always been in the 80th+ percentile. I don't remember how much he weighed last summer when I bought them, but this summer he is 2 years old (March) and weighs 30lbs. They still fit him comfortably. At first he wasn't coordinated enough to really keep them on, now that he's older he actually enjoys them. (If the kids are really young I'd recommend getting some with a head strap, however the upside is that these are pretty much indestructible as many of the reviews state). Good luck!

It really seemed that a size 13 in kids is super close to a size 1 to me. I would just get a size 1 for both. Hope this helps.

When I bought skates I bought one for me and another for my daughter. I bought my shoe size women 7 and they fit perfectly. For my daughter, I used her shoe size and got it one size bigger. The fit was good not too roomy and she had some space for growing. In your case if your niece is an exact 5 in childrens size and if you want some growing room, I would recommend that you buy a size 5 in women, if she already wears 5 women size, then i would recommend you buy a size 6. You cant go wrong with a little bigger size, these skates are durable and they last long and at 10 yrs old, i'm sure she is growing fast.

My twins girls are 7 and on the small side. They normally wear size 12 - 12 and a half. We purchased size 13 for them and they fit them fine. They probably run a little smaller than, but pretty much true to size. If you want a little leeway for growth, it wouldn't hurt to order 1 size larger than their usual shoe size. I hope this helps you out a little!

Not sure...sounds like you're on the bubble between Peewee and Youth. If it helps, our 7-yr-old daughter got the Youth size when she was 51" tall and wore them comfortably.

Hi Dan, a size 5.5 shoe is covered by our SMALL size in the Footminders Comfort and Casual models. The Kids model is for small children, your son wears a young adult shoe size. Plesae let us know if that answered your question, thanks!

I purchased the next size up from my child shoe size and they both fit great and they were able to wear them for a while. Definitely go a little bigger cause you are able to tighten them with the strap around the ankle. Hope that helps :)

My daughter just turned 4 and is about 39 1/2 in tall. with the twelve she could put both feet on the ground and with no training wheels to start she looked more comfortable. I look at it like trading one for the other she fit the 14 a little better but more balance and control starting and stopping on the 12 which I think is more important. I would go 12 especially if you have younger kids. We have a younger daughter so if she only gets one year out of it no big deal

It is very true that these rollerblades run small. We originally bought them, in the "1-4" size for our 6-year old who was then just into size 12 shoe. They fit her from the first day and lasted for two years until she became a size 3 shoe. At that time we bought the next size up, the "5-8" and she is still wearing them and is not even a size 4 shoe yet. Her little sister (size 12) inherited the 1-4's and wears them at the smallest adjustment. So while they may not be exactly right for your 10-11 daughter right now they will fit her soon and will then fit her for a good few years.

my son is 11 & the thinks this board is very large. When I did my research, they suggested this size for kids just above his size/weight/age. I chose it because the site suggested you go up if you are straddling areas. My son is a beginning beginner too. I suggest a size down for your son unless he's really tall. (My son is 4'9"). As far as the street goes - I've had no complaints from him but he's still learning (just got his in April). Good luck :)

It's kind of tricky, I'll explain; my little girl is shoe size 1, the first pair I bought her, a size 1-3, fitted her the right length, but they were tight and narrow, so I bought her a second pair, a size 3-5, they fitted her the right width, but with the water in the pool they tended to slip off her feet, so it all depends on your kid's feet and stroke. XXS=1-3, XS=3-5.

Good mornign Adrian. Yes, the Small Inline Skates are recommended for sizes 12.5-2. I hope this information is helpful to you. Meghan - HearthSong Customer Service

I think this is too big for a 7 year old. Child large would be better. But I think these are also too advanced for the goalkeeping a 7 year old is doing. You could always gave them taken in.

Hi Casey -- these are designed for 4+ years old but should fit the 9 & 11 year old just fine. They are tight on most adults but still fit the more petite adults just fine on the largest setting; that said if you order and they don't fit you can return them to Amazon. Feel free to reach out to us (the sellers) if you have any other questions.

the ones I got and had to return ran very small for their size. I would say go up one or even two sizes... but they also run more toward lean kid... if got any kinda size that's not thin, you might have a problem... going up in size to fit body will prob make legs long....
