meteor® Inline Skates 4 in 1 voor Kinderen Jeugd Volwassen - Ideaal voor Jongens en Meisjes - Instelbare Maat

As someone who spent a lot of time skating back in the day, I thought these would be a great way to introduce my daughter to it. I wasn't expecting much, but these are made well and have all the right stuff for a comfortable and fun skate!Starting with the liners, there's a decent amount of padding in here, more than enough for little feet. There's the option to extend and collapse the liner so that you can get the right fit, and if your kid is on the younger side, or has smaller feet, this will give the boots a much longer life span as they will grow with the kids feet. To ensure a nice snug fit, the boots can be laced, strapped, and the cuff has a strap too. Use all three of these to ensure your kids feet and ankles are secure and safe.The frames are metal and can be configured in a few ways thanks to the included screws. I feel the best configuration here is inline. They can be converted into quads, and it works well, but there's no front rubber bits like quads normally have, so the natural way to push off then would be like inline skaters do, so that's why I feel that configuration is best. The rear rubber stopper can also be removed and put on the other boot if needed.What really surprised me here was the wheels. I remember kids skates having plastic wheels and no bearings, or thin rubber coating if you were lucky. These come with a full set of rubber to the core wheels. The included bearings are the exact same ones you'd find in a full size pair of skates or a skate board. This means a smooth ride, and a solid connection with the surface your kid is skating on.There's also an additional frame included for ice skating. The removal of the frames is super easy and quick, and just like the inline configuration, the boot looks like it was made for ice skating. We've not had a chance to take her out on the ice yet, but the included blades look the part.I think these are awesome. I had sonic the hedgehog skates when I was a kid, and they didn't feel like these! Highly recommended.
