These are really cute beginner skates. These are for little kids yjat watch their other brothers and sister skates and wants to plat, Overall they work but keep in mind for small kids,

I purchased Fisher Price "Safety Skates" for my son at least 6rs ago. The were WONDERFUL! So when I found the Dora skates for my daughter I just knew I would love them and she would too. THEY WERE AWFUL -- SIMPLY A WASTE OF MY MONEY!!! First I don't these skates are for 3-6 yr olds -- the wheels go back and forth just like real skates--THERE IS NO LOCK to hold them and teach a 3 year old how to skate (perhaps thats why they give you the safety pads because a 3 or 4 year old will DEFINITELY GET HURT when they put these on. The next problem is that package says the skates will adjust to fit shoe sizes 6-12, what they don't say is that the CHILD CAN'T WEAR GYM SHOES WITH THESE SKATES because the toe of the gym shoe WILL NOT FIT INTO THE SKATE!!! I looked at the packaging and the child on the package is actually wearing some kind of casual shoe. Most parents who allow their child to skate would probably put them in gym shoes just for safety reasons!

These broke within minutes of being opened. Yes, they are cheap, but you would expect the straps to last a little longer! The stitching on the strap caused the perforations to tear at the slightest pull. Didn't bother to return at that price, but I certainly wouldn't recommend to anyone.

We bought these for my 3 year old niece, they were not very stable and she really didn't like them at all....

I purchased these for my 2 year old daughter. She wasn't quite ready for them, so my 4 1/2 year old used them. And then some neighbor kids used them at different times over here. Then my daughter used them a year or so later. They were durable, inexpensive and a decent starter skate. A kid can put these on, adjust the size and straps all without adult help. That's always a plus!
