K2 Skate Girl's Marlee Pro Inline Skates

I got these rollerblades for my daughters 7th birthday. She's asked for skates before, but not lately, so I knew that they'd be an unexpected surprise! Boy was I right! When she opened the box, her mouth dropped wide open. Then she squealed and hugged them! She loves them!I read reviews for several pair before I decided on these. It was important to me that they were good quality skates and comfortable to wear. My daughter said they are very comfortable. Clearly, they are, because she didn't want to take them off! She wore them for hours! Even when she took a break and watched a movie!I love that they are adjustable for sizes 1-5. Right now she's wearing them on size 2, so they will last us quite a while! And they don't look adjustable like some cheap skates do. They look like real professional rollerblades! There's just a simple button to press to set the size.Shipping was fast! I ordered them on Thursday night and was promised they would arrive Saturday by 8pm. I was a little nervous about that because her birthday was Sunday. So it was a pleasant surprise when I found they had been delivered before we even woke up Saturday morning!I literally have no complaints. These skates are perfect! The delivery was perfect! Thank you for helping me make my daughters 7th birthday a success!

Wow! Yes, I know they're pricey for kids skates, but with being adjustable they will last my daughter a long time! It is amazing how when you get high quality components it makes an experience so much nicer.Pros:Wheels roll smoothlyAdjustable boot (size 4-8) She can wear it until she's mostly grownSoft boot is much more comfortable on her feet than a hard bootThe Stability Plus cuff really does its job - no turned in anklesEasy to lace! (Seriously, their speed lace system is awesome, especially for a kid who hates to lace shoes!)Easy to loosen and un-lace - laces slide easilyEnough structure in the boot to make it easy to get foot in and out (no squashing down into the casing)Handles on front and back of the boot opening so you can tug it on easierCons: Price (I say this is a con because it might deter some people, but I am a firm believer in getting kids good quality equipment when it comes to learning something like skating. For us they have been worth every penny. I have looked at and tried out other lesser brands and I'm really happy we landed on these. I'm even saving up for a pair for myself!)

I'd like to say so far so good. These are really "as advertised" (so far anyway.)Smooth ride on the ABEC 3 bearings. Rolls smoothly on asphalt. Spin way better than any "on display" skate I've seen at retailers.Adjustable size is great. Just be sure to take out the cardboard inserts, my hand was too big to fit deep into the skate so I missed them and my kid (who is a size 4 shoe) was fitting as a 6 in these. For whatever reason, the insert fits into the boot and then a foot will fit into the insert! I was like, wow, they run small... When she went to put them on again she first put her hand in and said "Daddy, look at this!" and then she pulled one out. Turns out she's a four! lol So they do fit true to size.For the "pro" series the speed lacing is very nice. Not having to tie and untie laces every time is great and she can do it easily herself. Well worth the extra cost.They look great and she says they're comfy. Time will tell and will update if necessary.I'll be contacting Amazon about the pads pictured because they were not in the box. At this price point they should have been included as pictured because just the skates on the K2 site have a MSRP less than what Amazon is selling them for. K2 sell the pro pack for this same price that do come with pads. I'll update this as I learn more.UPDATE: I chatted with an amazon rep and was offered an exchange or small refund due to the missing pads. Opted for small refund as she has already scuffed these up a bit. If these are not supposed to come with the pads (as I just saw that they also offer the "pro pack" at an even higher cost and that does for sure come with them) they really need to change the photo or add it to the description. Still glad we got them. :)If these last a few seasons, we will be very happy. :)Small update: Day two she rode with a friend and I can tell you that the K2s are pretty quiet compared to her friends. The other pair sounded like a train going by. So that's cool. :)

Skates handle well and have good ankle support. Our daughter is very active and has enjoyed these skates. They are holding up well, despite the abuse she has laid on them.Only con...trying to figure out how to adjust the size. Was a bit challenging.

k2 makes the best skates ever!! These skates are more then worth the price. The skate is made very durable and your child will be able to put many miles on them. I have bought 2 other pairs of these, this pair was for my youngest daughter who has a size 10 toddler shoe and the small size fits her great with plenty of room to grow. The best part about these skates is being able to expand the sizes while they grow, making them very affordable. We Rollerblade 10+ miles at lease 2x a week and these hold up so well. .

Bought these for daughter's 7th birthday (size 11-2 fit perfectly with a year or two to grow). As other reviewers mentioned the Pro version has a super easy zip lace system. Entire boot strap / lace system works really well and also good secure tight fit of the boot. Wheels roll smoothly, quiet and overall excellent product. Very happy with money well spent, her favorite gift.

My daughter got a pair for Christmas. They are really good skates for kids; quality construction. It is a little difficult to adjust the size but once you get it adjusted it stays put. These have been used at the skating rink and around the neighborhood. Now that its summer they will get used more often, (1-2 times/wk) so we will see how they hold up but so far so good.

Skate are great but the protective gear did not come with the skates as indicated in the pictures.

Unsere Kinder fahren beide den K2. Das Schnürsystem ist vorbildlich. Inliner anziehen, fest an der Schnürung ziehen, zusammenrollen und verstauen und es kann losgehen. Dies ist vor allem für Kinder super, die ständig die Inliner an- und ausziehen, um z.B. mal kurz in die Wohnung zu gehen.Vor allem haben die K2 einen guten Seitenhalt. Da können die Inliner vom Discounter nicht mithalten.
