Dear Sir / Madam, I have 2 questions about these skates. Are they used for outdoors or indoors? Are the sizes same with the shoe sizes? Awaiting you.

They are great for both indoor/outdoor and I got them a size smaller than my normal shoe size and they fit perfectly

I bought the skates to be used at an indoor skating rink and yes the sizes are the same as the shoe sizes.

I only used mine once. They were supposed to be for outdoors. they run really big. I got the 10 and it feels huge.

I used them indoors and outdoors and the sizes are slightly larger than shoe size so I recommend getting a size smaller than your usual shoe size

The wheels have grooves in them, I used them outdoors. Also, because of these grooves, they don't move as fast as smooth wheels would. These skates are men's shoe sizes. I can wear a men's size 7 (but in women's shoes I always have to wear an 8 or 9). Since these are men's shoe sizes, I ordered a size 7 and they fit perfectly.

I have bought three different skates and i always buy one size bigger and wear two pair of socks. Hope that helps.

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.

These skates are only for children. So you would have to check out the men skates on amazon. Hope this helps

Yes, though they are more gearing for aggressive skating. If you are merely skating down streets, or a bike path, I would opt for something cheaper. Another note, their sizes run a little small, so if you need a medium, maybe try a large.

My kids 16 and 14, say they'll be fine on paved surface. They have used indoors at rink (skate nights, not hockey), and while not ideal there, they do ok. Outside, no complaints. These are harder than other wheels they've had, but they play pickup hockey mostly on medium asphalt.

We have only ever used the skates indoors, but they are great quality so I would say you could take them out if you had a smooth place for the child to skate. I wouldn't think you'd want to use them indoors again once you have taken them out though. Hope this helps!

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!

Hi, KKEEET. I bought these skates as a gift for a grandson. Have not given them to him yet, but I bought one or two sizes too large, purchasing heavy socks to take up the extra room. They are a bargain and very well made. Happy trails.

Do you have a sporting goods store near you? Like Dick's or Sports Authority? I tried them on at the sporting good store first and them bought here. Here's a site that explains sizing http://www.inlineskates.com/Sizing-Guide-for-Roller-Skates/sizing-guide-9-3-2012,default,pg.html

Bought these for my Grandson , he is three yrs old and wears a size 9, he wears them at the smallest setting there is plenty of room for size 10 or 11, The skates are quite sturdy and well made, they will last years. He loves them, easy to use. Hope this helps

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

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>

Yes, my daughter uses them at the local skating rink and they perform great she loves them.

Oooh, she's right at that cut off. Her feet will be a size 2 by spring. I would buy the size 2-5 so she can use them for more than just a few months. These are great skates and they last a long time. My daughter has enjoyed hers for over 2 years now. She was a size 3 when we bought them and felt most comfortable when we adjusted them to the setting for size 4, so they run a little small. She wears a size 5 now and they are a bit tight. She'll get a new pair for Christmas.

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!

I think they are both but i only use indoors. They are for beginners and by no means a "Speed" skate. The wheels are very wide and have a strong grip on them. I think they would be better for outdoor. I agree that they are hard to skate indoors with. very comfortable on your feet though.
