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.

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).

I ordered 1 size up from my grandsons shoe size and they were a perfect fit. They were overall pretty good starter skates.

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.

Hello...I found this skate to be true to size for me. So if the little girl wears a size 10 shoe then you should get the same size in the skate.

I would say yes, it is a good beginner board. The wheels are tight, so it is not too loosey-goosey. When she advances in her skills, you can get the wheels adjusted. Enjoy!

Good morning 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

hello...my daughter wears a size 2 shoe, I bouth 3-6 and fit very well. She wears them with thick cotton socks and has skates for a long time

At her age her feet probably aren't done growing. If she is skating outside she may want to wear two pairs of socks. Also you want to make sure she has tall socks on. An 8 will be a little big but in the long run they will last longer. I live in Minnesota and manage a skating rink. Can you rent some to see how it would work for her? We rent out many skates in a winter season.

I am a size 8 and my skates are size 6. I would say that 5 will fit her well. Check out the size chart on the dicks sporting goods website, it will be very helpful

My daughter is 7 and wears 12.5 shoes so I bought her the smallest size because it technically goes up to a size 1 (which is the next size up from 12.5). So they'd fit her now, but if her feet grow a lot in the next year you might only get one year out of them. If you get the next size up they may be a bit too big for her this year but they'd last longer as she grows.

As fast as their feet grow, I would go with an 11 or maybe even a 12. Remember, this is a training skate with a double blade. I was surprised when I got it that it was not a normal ice skate. I returned it and bought my daughter regular skates...she took to them very quickly and never needed to use this "training wheel" skate.

I would think it depends upon the build of your nephew. They may slude a bit. But then again there is growing room. There is some adjusting features, and not a lot of skates to choose from. oGood Luck!

It's a good starter skate for 3 1/2 to 4. Got it as a gift for my almost 4 yo and she loves them!

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.

Depends on what you want them for. They're not truly functional as skates, and the lock on the wheels doesn't work well. If you really want your grandson to skate, you might want to pony up for real skates. But for a relatively inexpensive starter skate, its OK.

My 11-year-old had no skateboarding experience, and he mastered it in a matter of minutes. If your child is well coordinated, it should be fine but keep a close eye out at the beginning!
