First off let me say I got these to learn to skate on. The inexpensive price point was the biggest factor since I had no idea whether I’d like skating or not and I didn’t want to spend $200 right away. I got a size 6 and normally wear a shoe size 7.5 and they fit perfectly.The wheels: they’re absolutely not outdoor wheels like the listing claims. You’ll need to replace them if you want to skate outdoors since they’re way too hard. You’ll also need to loosen BOTH the trucks and wheels right out of the box. There are YouTube videos on how to do this. If you skip this step you are guaranteed to hate these or think you can’t skate.The boot: solid nice quality faux leather. The design on them although really cute doesn’t read at at a distance.The toe stop: like others have said isn’t made out of the correct material and is unusable. Learn alternate ways to stop until you can get a replacement toe stop. It’s a fixed bulls eye style toe stop...the height adjustable type will NOT fit them.The skates are adorable, and decent quality. But the ad is very confusing and misleading. When I ordered them I saw that they had soft 78a wheels. They were not. So I went back and looked again to see that it does say 78a, and a few lines down says 95a! That's a huge difference!! These wheels are not very great for outdoors. I will be upgrading my wheels. Also, the toe stop is cheap plastic too.The skates are great and look good and feel good ... however the stopper on them is crap and makes me want to give these a two or a three and the support from the company wasn't very good ... and were not helpful in finding replacement stoppers ... but since I actually really do like the skates I can't help but give them four stars. If anyone knows where to get replacement stoppers for these it would be wonderful if somehow you could respond to the Q&A I have a message there requesting more info at this link https://www.amazon.com/ask/questions/Tx1FH1LTI9PIMEE/. Thank you. UPDATE: Finally found the stopper to fit this skate ... it took months so am sharing it with you to save you the trouble as the stoppers and wheels that come with this skate are not very good ... however the skate itself is very comfortable. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00US7KXP2/ref=cfb_at_prodpg (photo is of the stopper that came with the skate).These skates are so freaking stylish I wish I had them when I was a kid! She loves the crap out of these! Very strong and durable and my daughter is Aspergers and if anything feels uncomfortable she will LET YOU KNOW!!! These are true to size. I also just put thicker socks just in case. But I did not see no blisters on her shin or foot so this is a majorrr plussss!!! I let her pick her skates. I wanted to get the black cause I thought they look more sleeker but she wanted the pinks and alot of little girls are asking their parents for them! Honestly let kids pick their own out. Haha ! Too cute love them. AwesomeThese are my first pair of skates. I have been skating outside almost everyday for about an hour each time on basketball courts and smooth sidewalks. They have lasted me about 2 months so far. I had to replace the barrings on one wheel. Not because the barrings aren’t decent quality but because the wheels aren’t very good. That being said if they had been used for strictly indoor skating they would probably be in much better condition at this point. Overall, they were a good purchase for me because I am just starting out and I wasn’t ready to commit to the moxi skate price without knowing that I was going to use them for sure. These skates are good for a trial run on roller-skating, now that I have learned all the basics on these skates I am ready for better quality skates to start learning more advanced tricks as well as start practicing my speed safely.Bought these for my 10 year old daughter. After going through the normal learning phase the last couple weeks, she’s gotten the hang and loves these skates. They are a smooth ride, stylish and well constructed. They do have a slight lift in the heel (that you can see in the picture but we didn’t notice til after we got them) so it took some time for her to adjust to the balancing more than if it was a flat skate, but as I said, a few weeks in and she’s doing great!I love these skates! I bought them 2yrs ago, and hadn’t had a chance to use them. Our local rink opened back up and my daughter decided to give them a try. She came home talking about how comfortable they were. Yesterday, I took my son and his friend to the rink, and gave them a try myself. I had to loosen the wheels, but my goodness! They were incredible! Comfortable, easy to maneuver, and cute. I would totally buy again if they became available.I followed the measurements listed and I ordered an 8 and there is about an inch of toe room but it's not too bad, but it's probably best to buy one size smaller. In the description it says that the wheels are 78a, they absolutely are not. They are a hard plastic and aren't the right wheels to use on sidewalks or streets. They're good skates for upgrading if you have the time/patience/money.J'adore mes nouveaux patin ils sont très beau et confortable
