My son is 4, wears a size 9.5 sneaker. What size do I buy? He has NO experience ice skating, is this a good beginner skate?

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 the skate boots are a "D" (wide) width, so you'd need to either look for skates with an "extra wide" boot, or substitute a larger size (10, 11, or larger) to compensate for the width you need. Personally, I would go to a roller rink and see if they can measure your foot and recommend a boot in the proper size. It might cost a little more; but you won't be guessing at the size, and the skates would fit better and be more comfortable.

I went 1 size up, I was nervous he would outgrow them before even learning how to skate. My son wears a 2 in reg shoe, so I got a 3 in these skates... He says they fit perfect.

We ordered a shoe size up for my daughter. Some of the reviews stated that the skates ran small. We were glad that we did because they did look a little small when they received them. Our 5 year old wears a 12, so we ordered a JR13. Fits great, hope this 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.

It is very true that these rollerblades run small. We originally bought them, in the "1-4" size for our 6-year old who was then just into size 12 shoe. They fit her from the first day and lasted for two years until she became a size 3 shoe. At that time we bought the next size up, the "5-8" and she is still wearing them and is not even a size 4 shoe yet. Her little sister (size 12) inherited the 1-4's and wears them at the smallest adjustment. So while they may not be exactly right for your 10-11 daughter right now they will fit her soon and will then fit her for a good few years. It is very true that these rollerblades run small.

Hi Carla, I bought the medium for my seven yr old son . These skates can be adjusted to four sizes depending on comfort levels . You can go ahead with medium ( better to have it loose than too tight )

My daughter is 2-1/2 and wears 8/9 shoe size. Her shoes fit perfectly into the smallest setting. These are really good training skates for beginners. I bought very expensive ones for my first child and it took him much longer to learn. These are not as fast, therefore scary.

It's a good starter skate for 3 1/2 to 4. Got it as a gift for my almost 4 yo and she loves them!

My son is 4 yrs old and average size, he fits a size 10-11 (toddler) shoe now and still wears these skates and says they are comfortable!

Ice skates in general run small, so go with a size 2. You have to also factor in socks...so a size up is always good. Hope this helps!

My son is 6 and his shoe size is 2. I bought the skate number 3-6 adjustable when the foot grows. It fits him just good right now for size 3. I did not have to adjust them. I am not sure what other sizes are available but I would get at least one size bigger and adjustable. I hope this info helps.

A 9 will work, because most skates are tight and slightly smaller than the regular shoe.

The size of Skate may be 1-2 digit number larger than your regular shoes with the same size number. Which means you need to order size 3 if your child wear a size 5 of regular shoe. This is from my experience of this model.

These skates fit my son who wears a toddler 9 in shoes. He has had them since he wore about a toddler 6. The skates aren't very large but I think they would fit a little larger than a 9.

My son wears size 8 skate and is approx. 115 lbs. and 5'3". The size medium is slightly large (but useable) for him, so I think a medium should be fine for you. Good luck.

The toe hold of the skate gives some extra room and I don't think comes up far enough on his shoe to be affected by the width. Main thing would be to get his shoe into the toe hold and the strap snug around his ankle. Then you could adjust the length. I don't think it would be a problem, great skates to learn on. Hold up well.
