Roller Skates - Healeys

Reviews

I purchased 4 packs of Blinx, 2 blue and 2 orange, to put on my kids inline skates. Of the 8 lights, only 1 of the orange and 3 of the blue worked correctly. The others either would not turn on properly or would not turn off unless the LED was removed. Even with that, I installed 4 of them on my sons new skates for his birthday. They didn't stay on 5 minutes! Not on as in 'turned on' but on as in they fell off his skates within 5 minutes of using them! Luckily no one tripped over them on the skate floor! If you buy these be aware that they are called Blinx because they blink, not steady LED lights. They are VERY bright though. The adhesive may work better on very smooth shiny surfaces like the bottom of a skateboard but do not use them on plastic, no matter how well you clean it.

These lights are awesome! I got 2 packs so that i can have two for each wheel to be more visible. The lights were even better then i expected they help me be visible from all angles. The only thing i wasn't so happy about was that one of the pieces to turn the light on got jammed about after a week. Besides for that the lights are great!

We bought these for our daugher's 4th birthday. They're not too fast, which is good for a beginner. We haven't tried to adjust them to a larger size yet, but it looks simple enough. The buckles adjust easily for a tight fit on the ankle. We found we have to hold the tongue up when she puts her foot in or her toes get stuck in the lining but that's easy enough. I wonder how long the wheels will hold up on the pavement since they look at bit rough around the edges after just a few days of very slow use.

I've purchased 2 pair of these skates for my G-kids as starter skates. They're fabulous and the kids LOVE them! They're made very well. And as always Amazon was quick, easy and painless. Always a treat to do business!

This is an amazing skate shot, my 6 year old is able to wear & take it off smoothly. It is not the high speed one though, in case that is what you are looking for then this is not what you want to buy.

We bought these for our 5 year old daughter! She wears a size 11 shoe and these fit her wonderfully at the smallest setting. She absolutely loves them. I was happy to purchase these over some of the others because they will grow with her and kids grow way too quickly!

Got these for my 5 year old granddaughter and she loves them! They will last her quite a while as they fit her at the smallest setting right now. Don't know how well they will hold up...time will tell, but they seem to be hardy looking. I needed them quickly and was able to use the Amazon Prime so they got here in two days!

My 9 year old grandson requested a pair of shoe roller skates from me for his birthday. These were just what he wanted, and he has practically "lived" in them ever since! To our knowledge, he had never even attempted to skate prior to this. They were well worth the money it cost me, since he has enjoyed them so much and gotten so much use out of them. They are also holding up very will under the "abuse" of his learning to skate!

This is the second pair of these skates for my grandson. He just outgrew the first pair after two years and passed them on to his younger cousin. The older pair was still in great shape after constant wear. The boot gives good support to the ankles. Since they are adjustable they last through several shoe sizes.

I ordered two pair of boys skates for my twin grandsons and had them shipped to Florida for Christmas. When my daughter received them, both boxes were marked "Boys". However, when my grandsons opened them on Christmas day, one pair were girls skates. It was too late to return them at that late date and both boys wanted to skate. So my review is that the skates are fine but your quality support and shipping department leave a lot to be desired.

I BOUGHT THESE SKATES FOR MY NEPHEW AND HE WAS VERY HAPPY. THE SKATES HAVE A NICE LOOK TO IT FOR BOYS!

Excellent roller skate. I bought this Roller Skate for my daughter and she loves it. Also, the services are very good. I received this product earlier than its scheduled delivery date. I have been an Amazon customer for a very long time and I still love Amazon. Thank you very much.

I'm an idiot and thought that since the brand was "roller derby" these were derby skates. ha. I now know better and I'm using these ones to learn how to skate well before splurging on some speed skates. The only issue I have with them is that the soles push up when I put my feet in them. Very annoying.

I purchased the women's roller derby roller star 550 quad skate for my eleven year old daughter. She absolutely loves them. We skate maybe once a month and the skates are actually good on a real roller rink floor. I would suggest a pair of these skates to a beginner skater. As you progress...the wheels will need to be changed.

I just bought these skates and I haven't had a pair of skates since I was a little girl! But I started to remember how to skate not but five minutes after putting them on in my kitchen! And I am having so much fun! They skate really well, I love the white and purple tires! The white is a perfect canvas for me to doodle and draw on them! I'm so excited! I only gave them four stars because frankly I just bought them and haven't been skating for very long. But i'm sure with time and practice and a LOADS of FUN i'm going to edit this review and give these neato skates five stars! I can't wait to be a roller derby girl! Oh and I bought them at Academy: Sports & Outdoors for only $35.00 so they were a great deal!

I just bought these skates for my 6 year old daughter. She was so excited to have "big girl" skates. We put them on and everything seemed great. The adjustment button functioned properly and the straps were great. Then she started to try to skate. She pushed off and went about 4 inches. The wheels barely turn. So i took them off her and tried to adjust the nuts holding the wheels on thinking they were too tight and binding the wheels. They weren't. I took a couple of the wheels off completely, held the center spindle and spun the wheel. It turned 1/2 turn and stopped. I thought maybe they needed to be greased a little so i put a little Tri-Flow on the bearings. It didn't make any difference. They are going back to Amazon today and taking my daughter to a local sports store to find her some real skates that really skate.

These skates were purchased for our granddaughters sixth birthday. She loves them and has gone skating several times. She continues to improve each time she tries them.

My 4 yr old had been using those adjustable plastic beginner skates for the past 2 years, and was not learning how to skate in them. She had finally outgrown them, so I decided to get some skates with real wheels. I found skates almost exactly like these with the Disney Princesses on them, for $44. I am not a fan of them, so I kept looking, knowing I could always go to them as a last resort. When I saw these non-princessed skates I fell in love! When I saw the price I thought I was in heaven. When I took them out of the box I was estatic! They are beautiful, have a nice weight to them, and are easily adjustable. Lots of room to grow. PERFECT for a girl growing at the speed of light. She wears them around the house practically every day and was already skating better the first day she put them on. I HIGHLY recommmend these to everyone looking for skates for a pre-schooler. You will not be disappointed.

I took the new skates to a local professional. The professional showed me that it is very cheap skates with lousy bearings. The wheels stop instantaneously after you stop rolling the wheels. For a good skate; the wheels should continue to roll on its own for some time after you release the hand.

I bought the J10-13 size for my daughters 5th birthday, she normally wears a size 9-10 shoe, and the skates fit perfectly on their smallest setting, and have plenty of room for her to grow in the next few years. The adjustment to the boot size is tough, not something your kid will be able to change on their own, just push a button and slide the boot, but it is a little tough to slide into that smallest setting, but once in place the boot locks in place good, and won't be going anywhere until you want to make it bigger or smaller. Great skate, sturdy, plenty of support, good wheels and bearings for a beginner skate, and being a skating enthusiest myself, I think the wheels and bearings function very well, so your young skater won't be fighting to try to get the wheels to roll, and will glide with ease once they are accustom to skating. For the price it is a very well put together skate, that will grow with your young skater so they will get plenty of use out of them before they grow out of them completely, and with how fast kids feet grow, the adjustment is much welcome, and doesn't cheapen the overall skate at all. Upon searching for skates for my daughters birthday, I found that our local retail stores don't carry much for skates for little kids, if at all. I was able to find this brand at Target, but only in a boys skate. I was a little weary about buying a skate online, but with no other option I went with this skate, and was very pleased once I had it in person, and was able to see my daughter in them. The size J10-13 should work for kids whose shoe size is between a 9-13, and I couldn't find a sizing chart for this item, so that is good to know if your looking to get some for your young one. Overall, 5 star product, my daughter and me love them!

Ordered this item last week and was afraid that it wouldn't get here in time. it got here 3 days BEFORE it was supposed to, the day after it shipped. The size is RIGHT ON THE MONEY. These are for my 6 year old daughter's birthday. They are of good quality and SUPER cute. she's gonna be thrilled. THANKS AMAZON!

I got these pair of skates for my six years old daughter as a birthday gift. She loves the skates and they seem comfortable. It was a great choice for her first pair of skates. Like the other reviews mentioned the skates are good quality. She's had it for 2 months now, and tries to use them as often as possible. My daughter is slightly above average in size, but size 1 fits her good and it seems like it should fit until next year.

I bought these for my granddaughters, ages 5 and 6. The sizes I bought were perfect, so they seem to be true to size. The skates rolled great on the concrete sidewalk and even on the street. I would recommend these to anyone with little girls who want to learn to skate!

My daughter loves them. I think the material that the toe stop is made out of may deteriorate rather quickly (it seems to rub off fast; she has only used the stops a couple of times, and there is a significant amount gone), and we will probably have to replace them sooner rather than later, but we are happy with the skates in general.

The skates arrived quickly and were well packaged with no damage. The are very nice, good quality skates and my daughters love them. I'm happy with this purchase.

These skates were super cute, but they were too heavy for me, and that made them uncomfortable for me to wear. They were a little long, so they were too big for me. I usually wear a size 10 though. Not sure what socks would be best, since they are narrow as well. The leather that rests on your calf dug into my skin. I ended up returning them because it was really bought on a whim purchase.

These are cute skates! I was very excited to wear them until I tried them on and they are too big! I followed the advice of others and got a size 8, I normally wear 8.5-9 in shoes, but they were STILL too big! They 8 is a Euro size 39-40, if I had known that I would've gotten a 7. So I'm going to send them back for a 7! Also, to the people who spent money to ship them back-in the future you don't have to, just go to your account and say you want to make a return and print out a pre-paid label, I just went to the UPS store today, totally free.

Had been looking for roller skates as opposed to the blade style. All I found in stores were too expensive and didn't find a great selection. Came to Amazon and had to wait for these to come back into stock. I was so happy when they arrived!! They are even cuter in person than online! Looks just like the ones I always wanted when I was a kid! I ordered the 8 and am usually a 9.5 and they fit just right. I also had to adjust the wheel to go faster. They seem to go better on sidewalks than on the black pavement but thats ok...you just get more of a workout on the pavement. Still haven't fallen YET! Great workout and a great price!! You can't go wrong with these!!

I really love my new skates, ever since i recieved them i use my skates at least 3 days a week. I have tried roller blades and did not like them, i got hurt using them oh my goodness. But i decided to buy roller skates again like i had when i was 12 years old when i myself and my parents was stationed in germany. I had so much fun with those skates, just like im having with these skates, i have even lost some weight using my new skates i needed to loss those 5 pounds and i'm happy . Thanks a lot Michelle Denise Smith

At first I was considering buying a size smaller because the previous reviews, but something told me to get my regular size because I have wide feet. I'm a size 9 and ordered size 9 skates and they fit perfectly. So if you have wide feet, order your regular size.
