do these skates convert to roller skates? My granddaughter has never skated before and I would like to buy a pair of roller skates convert to blades

No. The shoe part adjusts to different sizes, but they are only roller blades. My daughter was seven when she got them and doesn't have any trouble using them.

They're pretty much true to size. If you really just want these specific skates go with the 1 and she'll grow into them (you know how fast shoe sizes change) but if she's just getting into a 13, I'd go with another skate in kids sizes.

Yes but I would use them for one or the other not both because of the condition that the wheels get in when using outdoors. Very high quality skates though

It is best to get a shoe size. These skates are easily adjustable, but you need a good foot measurement as a starting point. I am always amazed at the size of my grandson's feet. <g>

I gave them as a gift to our three year old grandson; he skates in the kitchen floor right now, but I am sure he will be able to use them outdoors when the weather gets warmer; they seem to be made out of a hard plastic, but for a three year old, out door play would not be out of order, he loves them; I hope this helped;

They fit, like regular boy sizes. To me, the skates just run small so, I'd get a size bigger than your child's shoe size.

As an long time skater myself, we had the kids blades sharpened, as it is always the best course when using any skates for the first time. It is not necessary to do so, but the kids will skate smoother and easier. Your local rink or sporting goods store should be able to do it quickly and inexpensively. Best regards!

I wouldn't buy these, the bearings were shot when ours arrived. The skates are very shaky to ride on. It costs more to fix replace the bearings than the skates are probably worth. It pays to buy local, directly from a rink.

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!

Adjusting is easy and she should have the 2-5 adjustable size. These skate are real rollerblades. My daugher circles her friends whom have had skates for a year. I was suprized at the quality. I will reccomend some thicker tube socks that go up to the shin. My daughter had bruised on her shins while learning how to ride properly.

My daughter is 6, these are her first pair, she's never skated before now... She's really doing well learning in them.

The size of these skates are in U.S. sizes. They run pretty true to size as well. My daughter is between a 1 and a 2 in shoes, and wears size 2 in these skates. If she wears a 13, I'd get a size 1 skate.

They are great. My 5 year old is a level 4 ice skater. She skates faster and further than her older brothers. I take her to the University to skate in the summer where the sidewalks are immaculate. Watch for rocks and wood chips. Universities are well maintained so I don't have to worry about that. There is no indoor rink here so I had to go outdoor wheels. Hope that helps. Cherrie

I think you're correct. Not saying for sure but I'd try it. You can always return. They are good ice skates and I think she will be happy with them -- my twin granddaughters love them! Hope my answer helps you.

I bought two of them for my twin granddaughters (now 9 years old) who are in their 2nd year of wearing them and currently wear a size 2. They are average-size girls probably on the smaller end of the scale. I think the skates are pretty much the same size as shoes but may run small when heavy socks are worn so I'd look at the next size up from her current shoe size. The adjustable size skates are definitely the way to go and are working out so well.

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 daughter was just a couple of years older when we purchased them. They are adjustable and we use them but I was disappointed because they aren't as "pretty" as they look in the picture. The stickers were misplaced and coming off when we got them giving them a used look. They are great skates for beginners though because of the great support and sizing options. I just wasn't happy about giving them as a gift.
