I bought these to go with my daughter who has taken up roller skating as a hobby. These are a touch narrow, but still comfortable. I love the fun colors. They came alined out of the box and ready to skate. I am sure  I will enjoy these for years to come. I normally wear a 8.5 and ordered a 9, which I am glad I did. By the end of a long skating session with tired feet, I am grateful for the extra room!!
