Osprey Quad Skates for Beginners, Adjustable Sizing, 4 Wheel Skates, Durable Safe-Lock Straps, Multiple Colours

Father Christmas ;-) brought these for my 7 year old for Christmas. He loves them. I was worried they would be a little uncomfortable given previous reviews so I brought some insoles. However, I haven't fitted them because my son has not complained of them hurting. He wears them a lot round the house! The size of these can be adjusted as your child's foot grows. Currently my son has them on the smallest setting and he is a size 13 so hopefully they will last some years. They are a good solid pair of skates. The wheels are not really loose if that is the word. The don't spin round as freely as 'adult' skates. This is great! if they were really free wheeling, he'd be on his bottom most of the time! these are great for those children who are just starting out, trying to get used to skates. they are a great price. Totally worth the money. The only thing I thought was odd was that they don't have a back stop. i'm sure ones did when I was little. All in all, I would absolutely recommend.

Great product

i got this for my 6-yo. The skates are sturdy, look good and seem appropriate for a beginner but there is a vast difference between these and higher-grade ones -- these stop too quickly and don't allow any lateral movement at all, making snake patterns (amongst the first things taught) very difficult. Costing a fraction of the pro ones, I am sure the Ospreys' bearings etc are of much different quality but also the wheels are hard plastic (rather than gel-like) with too much friction -- so too much pushing required to keep rolling. I suspect these extra pushes (which my son seems to do sideways -- could be his faulty technique) put pressure on his knees -- another lesson in the school of hard knocks that will teach him to be sedentary in middle-age, like his dad. Still, as good a beginners' skates as any I've seen in my son's skating class...

Grandson loved them for xmas

My grandson loves these skates. Being size adjustable they will grow with him. Very well made and would recommend to anyone

Product looks good quality and safely made for children

These were for my 7 Yr old little brother who has huge feet for his age since he's at a size 3 bordering a size 4. These are great, and when I got them they were on sale which meant even better value for money (I recommend waiting for a sale if possible). Not only do they fit my brother but they also fit me and I'm a size 8 (they were a bit tight at that point though to be honest but they're only supposed to go up to a size 7). They've lasted a long time, and my brother did find his feet on them quickly and they're good for beginners because they keep more balance I think.

Greay quality. Lasting skates. Comfort. Easy to use. Sizing correct. Adjustable for narrow or wide feet
