Sizing is always a problem for any type of clothing or footwear item. It is hard to get the exact size needed when buying online because you do not know if the sizes run true to regular shoe sizes. Manufacturers were really good in all instances of accepting skates back and providing another size. Some people did not understand or know about sharpening the skates, so kids did fall down repeatedly and unnecessarily because of this. These were the two main problems noted in customer remarks online.
