K2 Marlee In-Line Skates (Red, Large, Size - 6 to 8)

I got these in-line skates for my daughters 7th birthday and she loves them. I read the reviews prior to the purchase, and it seem they would be the best fit for her. Not only are they pretty, but they are very comfortable. I would highly recommend them.

Was swayed into buying it cos of the tempting price offer, even tho I'm not much of a blader. The wheels are not as 'fast' or 'smooth' as I'd have liked them to be, and I find the fit a little awkward width-wise. If I make it comfortably loose, it gets wobbly around the ankle. If I make it too tight, I can't feel my feet after a while :P Still trying to get used to it, but I dont remember experiencing the same problem with my previous (different make) blades.

I bought the K2 Marlee In-Line Skates in July '08 for my 8 yr. old daughter's birthday. They are very well made, quality skates- unlike the ones sold at Target, Walmart, etc. The buckles are sturdy and my daughter says they are very comfortable. I bought the medium, size 3-6, and my daughter's foot is about a 3 1/2. The skates seem true to size in my opinion, giving her a little growing room. A great buy.

My only complaint is they are a bit big - even with the adjustable feature. I got the 3-6 and the 6-8 for my daughters. I'm a size 7 and the 6-8 are a bit loose fitting for me, even at the smallest setting of 6. The wheels are really smooth and the laces tuck away to be hidden when using. My girls love them and k-2 is a great brand.

These skates are JUST like the adult versions of K2 (which in my opinion is the BEST brand for skates). My little girl is 6 and had just started inline skating a little before she got these for Christmas. She put these on and took off like she'd been skating for years. They're VERY comfortable, super sturdy and solid, have great support, are very cute, and she just loves them. I can't say enough about these skates. What's even better is the adjustable size. I thought this would make them look cheap...but you don't notice at ALL. They are very well built and I would highly recommend these skates to anyone with a child who loves to skate...or one that's never been on skates at all!
