wrong age info for this product!

These skates only fit up to a size 11 shoe (NOT size 12), so your child will outgrow them by the time he is 4 or 5, not 8! Tentative types will outgrow them before they learn to skate.

These ARE the skates

Our 2 1/2 year old loves these skates! They give him the balance he needs to "play hockey". The skates are easy to put on and take off. They also seem durable. I tried another pair of ready to learn "in-line" skates, but it was a waste of time, energy and tears of frustration....if you want your toddler to learn to skate and fun doing so these are the skates to buy! In fact, his cousin will be receiving a pair for her birthday!

The Best For Young Skaters!!!

These are the best skates I have found on the market for the young enthusiast. I bought my 5 year old son a pair of the Fisher Price learn to inline skates for Christmas and my 3 year old these. The Learn to inline skates have faulty closures that will not stay done, they were not worth the money, these however are the best!! I ended up throwing the learn to's out and buying a second set of these. THESE ARE THE BEST!!! You will not be disappointed. If you are trying to decide between these and the learn to inline skates, don't even waste your time with the others, get these.
