I got this for my 11 year old niece for her birthday, pretty much blind. I was just told to buy roller-skates and I piked these because I read a few reviews saying these were comfortable and some other tweens liked them. I called my brother about 10 days later to see if the fit, and he said OMG, you couldn't pull them off her even if they didn't (but they do.) He said "They are a HIT!" I was flabbergasted. Wow! That was easy!
