Anyone know the ABEC rating for the bearings? Do they move pretty smoothly? My twins are 4 and in size 9-10 shoes. Will the J10-12 be too big?

Bearings in my daughter's pair are just fine. Go for the larger size because their feet will grow into them Very soon.

They are smooth. Bearings? I don't think they will be too big, there is a lot of padding and adjust.

For a 6 year old I would recommend getting the size 1-4. Your grandson would probably fit into the J10-13 right now but on the largest setting. It's best to get the bigger ones so he can grow into them.

M-L, im 10 and works for me, and a friend of mine is 10.5 and works too. The fins are a little stiff so, prepare for newbies blisters

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.

We ended up calling Roller Derby and directly asked them. She said the Y is for Youth but doesn't understand why they would even add it to the size. They are children sizes and told us just to purchase the 13 vs selecting Y13. Hopefully that is right. I will find out in a couple days when we get the skates and if there is an issue I will post another comment.

I've been using this in my pantry closet for 4 months, and the bearings are working fine. They look like they should be in it for the long haul. Good luck with your shopping!

They fit in inline skates too, that's what i bought them for. I got 2 sets for them because you need 8 bearings per skate.

Hi,G.castaneda, I use mine for jointing the shoe is long enough for most of what I do. You might want to get a plane with a 22' shoe for the longer boards you may want to join. But for most pieces up to 24' to 32' above you may get better results from a longer shoe like a 22' to 24'. Look for a cheaper brand plane in longer shoes check Amazon. Hope this helps and may God bless.Sincerely,Joseph

I just rrcently bought these skates for my 5 year old daughter who's birthday is in december after christmas. i too had a problem on ehat size to get as there is no chart...if this can help any i got the medium size as my daugtet wears a size 11 in shoes...she very petite and has a small shoe size but the lowest adjustment on the medium fit perfect for her shoe size which again is a size 11. the large size is mote for older kids such as 10 or so as i understand from numerous buyers and research prior to my purchase of this product. but they were goid built skates...i will advise that the wheels do not spin really fast when u get them and u can adjust them but if they are for a small child then thet will be fine. when my dauggter had her bday wr had it at a skating rink and thet worked perfectly for her and she was able to skate good in them...my advice would be for size 11 i would get medium for anything bigger get large...message me back if need any further assistance. i know how hard it is to get the right pair without information

I noticed that as well. I don't think it makes a difference when ordering, my daughter is 5 and wears a 12, but I ordered a JR13, and the pair fit her very well, she said they are comfortable. Even if they are a little roomy, she could wear bigger socks or an insole could work too.

My daughter is exactly the same size as yours and we got the 4's and they fit her perfect. That was last year, and theyre getting snug, so I would suggest a 5. Good skates :)

I would recommend Wellgo V12 copy pedals over the Diamondbacks. Look at Chain Reaction or Niagara Cycle Works. The Diamondbacks didn't last very long before the bearings crumbled.

I was just wondering if you ever compared them after this post? We are considering both vehicles too for our 2 children, one who is big for his age as well. We plan to try and see them at the store together (if possible) but I found your post and wondered what your result was? Thanks

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

I purchased a pair of size four for my granddaughter.They fit very well. Not too snug nor too loose either. Quality material,I believe I saw numerous sizes available, when we ordered, for a little girl, who is size 13 then I would recommend size 12 or size 11 or possibly 13. One can always get the child's foot measured at a shoe store to acquire a more accurate fitting. I hope this is of some help.These are great skates.

After some time riding in them, i noticed they dont last a lot of time. Compared to S9 Greaseballs they are very good, but please, greaseballs are the worst bearings. So, I decided to buy Zealous bearings. They rock, better than these super reds, and they cost 14 dollars. The zealous bearings have an oil the fills in scratches and over time the oil in the scratches hardens and makes a smooth ride. Check 'em out they are so much better than these and to answer your question, it will always stay that way, that happened to me, but maybe my bearings came out wrong.

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.
