My 7 and 10 year old daughters have these shoes and they never tire of them.  They wear them everywhere, but school.  They no longer mind going to stores or on walks with the dog because they can skate!  And I have never heard so many people ask where they got them.  We hear kids telling their parents "I want some shoes like that, Mommy!"  The shoes are durable too.  Order a size larger than your child wears in shoes.
