Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

Broke Quickly - Cheap Plastic - Good Customer Service/Resolution
**Edit Update**Finally heard back from Roller Derby CS and they are sending us a replacement pair. I have updated my review from 1 star to 4 stars thanks to the great - although a bit slower than I’m used to - customer service and resolution. Hopefully the new pair last a bit longer.These seemed great when we first got them for our 6yr old son for his birthday because he wanted to learn to roller blade but after only 2 short times using them we went to put them on and the plastic clamps to tighten/loosen the roller blades cracked and broke off making them unusable. Contacted the manufacturer via email - no response. Called the CS line and talked to another rep who asked for photos of the product - sent the email and haven’t heard anything. You get what you pay for apparently…
Great beginner rollerblades! My 7 year old wears a size 13.5 or 1. Based on other reviews, I bought him these Roller Derby Tracer skates in size 2-5 and they fit perfectly! The buckles don’t tighten down as firmly as I had expected, but my son says it fits and feels fine. He has ice skated in hockey skates for years, but I couldn’t justify spending over $100 on hockey in-line skates without knowing if he’d actually like inline skating. He loves it! I got these on amazon on sale for ~$30. For that price these are amazing. My son is able to skate fast around the neighborhood and says his feet don’t hurt. He fell a couple times the first day and nothing broke. He no longer falls, and uses them daily with no complaints. I’d recommend these for beginner inline skaters.
My 5 year old LOVES these skates. So much, He brags about them and says other people must think he is so cool and feel bad their skates aren’t as cool as his 😂. So far they have held up well, are comfortable and pretty simple to put on and off (especially compared to his hockey skates!). Great value for beginner skaters like my son.
Love the looks and durability. Easy to take out the different pieces should you need to wash the liners. Value for money. Great first time inline skates.
cons - 1. Size runs on the lower end - so a 2-5 is actually 1-4 2. WHeels take a long time to break in. At first they are going to be hard as hell and wont move .... but as time goes by they get easier to rolll... however after using it over 20 times they still havent broken in and the wheels rotate like there is some friction still going on.
Great value for the price point. My son loves them! They’re comfortable, no blisters, and the adjustable sizing is great! Mine came with a missing back brake on one skate but I did order from Amazon Warehouse and this could very well have been an oversight on their part.
Los compré para mi hijo, como sus primeros patines y quedé muy satisfecho con ellos. Son muy bonitos; se ven y se sienten de buena calidad. Mi hijo dice que son cómodos y ajustables a las tallas que menciona el vendedor. Si tienes dudas, te recomiendo medir el pie del interesado en centímetros y ajustarse a las tablas de equivalencia de medidas.
