My daughter is 5 has never skated and wears an 11.5 shoe. Would these skates be a good choice for a beginner?

I have the exact same question! My daughter will be 5 in Feb. but she wears a 11. So I'm not sure which size would be best?? Depending on how accurate the 2 size options are.. The sm or med? I am tempted to get the med even though it is for size 1-4.. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My daughter was exactly the same size & no experience when we bought these for her. You'll need to walk beside her for a while. My daughter can now skate all on her own!

They would, my girls are wearing a 12 and 1 in girls. They're still able to wear them and they were beginners when I first bought them.

I bought these last year for my then 5 yr old granddaughter. She could put them on herself and were very stable.

Yes, I bought them for my 6 year old niece, she had never skated and got the hang of it very quickly.The skates are adjustable so they can grow with their feet. Lots of support for their ankles.

Yes Ashley I would recommend these skates for a beginner. They are very adjustable and easy to adjust too, they have good balance and beautiful too. My daughter is five as well and they are perfect for her. Hope this helps.

Sure it's worth it, he will learn balance, enjoy the thrill of skating, he will probably be able to use them for at least a year and maybe two years. There are other skates out there however I was happy that these skates are Fisher-Price.This company is a good one, and one that has been there for years.

I know that they run large, my size 11 foot meant getting a size 10 skate, which was still a little big on me. Tour recommends a size 4 if you wear a size 5 shoe, and eventually they recommend a size and a half difference between shoe and skate sizes. If you get a 5, you'll have room for a little bit of growth, and room for a pair or two of socks in the skates, but the 4 will fit best now.

My daughter is also 7 with an 11 shoe size. We purchased a size 12 Ice Skate for her and the fit good.

My 9 year-old daughter wears a size 1 in regular shoes. I bought a size 2 in these skates just to get a couple of years use out of them. The size 2's are a little big, but they fit well enough for her to skate around our driveway. These skates seem to run true to regular shoe size.

Choose size SMALL which is for US shoe size 11-2 (roughly from 3 years to 7 years). The skates adjust five sizes so you should get a few years out of them. These are a very good quality skate, my kids love them. Did you notice they come in Black/Red colours for boys (KS Sports Junior Merlin).

My daughter got them for Christmas and turned 4 one month later. She figured them out very quickly, likely because of being older, but she loves to use them and is only on stage 2 (where they roll forward but not backward). She really loves them. As long as it isn't an exceptionally big 4 year old that won't fit the shoe size requirements, I would say its a great gift.

I bought 2-5 size when my son's foot size was 3. He is at size 4 now, still fits perfectly. If you don't roller skate often, then choose 5-8 (they will last longer for you), unless your daughter's foot size does not grow fast.

Great skate but I'm not very knowledgeable on sizes; however, I have heard that you should buy a skate a 1/2 to full size smaller than shoe size. We got a size 9.5 for my son who wears a 10 (now 10.5) and they've fit well for a while!

We purchased these skates for our 4 year old grandson who wears size 11. He has enjoyed them and they have held up to his ruff play !! D. Schuetz

Not at all...that's the age my son n daughter started, n they are 4yo n 8yo now..They love skating,. I think the earliest the better. I would start the 2yo with the beginner skates, the plastic one's.

I went up one size for both my young daughters. My oldest complains hers are too tight at one size up. My other daughter says hers fit fine. Go up at least one size, two if you want them to last a bit and just put extra socks on. 3.5 might be too young for theses skates. My girls are fairly athletic at 5 & 6.5 and they can't do them yet without holding my hand the entire time and falling all over the place. Get wrist guards!! Most common injury is broken wrists! Good luck!

My son is 5 and wears an 11 in shoes. I got him the size 1 skates for little kids.

I don't know what your daughter's size shoe has to do with what size YOU wear :) but skates tend to run big. I wear a size 6.5-7 shoe and ordered 6.5's in these skates and they were just enough too big to be uncomfortable. I traded them back in for 6s and they fit much better. I don't know about 2 whole sizes as a half size was enough for me but plan to order a smaller size.

You should shop for girl skates instead of women's. Get her shoe size. The run a bit big. If she has a foot that is growing fast, get a 12.

I got these skates for my niece and her shoe size is 1. Fit her well and she enjoys a lot.
