Another helpful tip for finding roller skate sizes for youth skaters, if your child is in a kids 3, 4, 5, or 6 this is right on the cusp of an adult size, some children's skates will not go that large and you will have to purchase an adult size skate.
Still not sure which size to go with? Many parents will choose to go up one size to give their kiddos a little bit more time to wear those skates. You can use thick or double socks to take up the extra space at first. Another great choice would be choosing an adjustable skate. Many adjustable skates will adjust 2-4 sizes, giving you a lot more time for your child to wear that skate.
