Hi!
I've just bought DD some of these for her birthday (as requested but unsure she'll really like it - hence cheap buy!!). They're High School Musical quad skates and only available in S11 and J2...but billy bargain I think! Nearest entry level roller skate is £30... Available through their ebay outlet too.

Sorry...can't do link! as too newbie

Just so you know. These are SERIOUSLY bad skates!! I bought some last year and the wheels are hard plastic and so they do not 'skate' they slide on many surfaces.

Please be very careful with any child you put in these, or buy some PU/polyurethane/urethane wheels for them and switch them over so they do not slide in them and they can actually skate.

Sorry...please don't shoot me down for this!! I'm just so reluctant to buy something she may never get on with for £30 (that's an expensive present in our family...). I'm not expecting them to be the best, however as an introduction to something we may want to invest more into later then I'm happy with that. I hope I haven;t disappointed anyone if they too buy some

I bought these when they were £15 a few years back and they are a bit crappy tbh but these were only for my daughters first skates and she learned to skate absolutely fine with them and she wore them out without any accidents.Then at the christmas time i invested in a decent pair so i think you have a bargain there for £8
