Do y'all remember the old fisher price skates that had this same premise? These are soooo much better!! I've used mine four times now, and each time has been a delight. Firstly, the packaging was so cool! A long box was delivered with the skates next to each other lengthwise and came with a cute little envelope with a thank you message from the company, and a sticker!
The skates are of very good quality; they're a bit on the heavy side, but I think that's because of the quality - doesn't affect the use. They have a nice, thick rubbery/plastic footbed that offers good grip and wide enough for my Bohempia Herlik barefoot shoes.
The bindings are sturdy, and the adjustable nature are just what my feet needed. I have them set on the smallest setting as I wear US size 8 shoes (EU 38, 24.5cm). The clicking motion to tighten both straps is reminiscent of ski boot bindings and extremely forgiving to loosen/tighten for the smallest of adjustments.
The wheels work well on rough terrain. I mainly use my mine on sidewalks, outdoor basketball courts, and the occasional walk through the grass or rocks if I can't stop in time (ha!). Even with decent gaps in the middle of the concrete sidewalk, the skates feel solid. I've been playing around with the front brakes, though I'm not used to them, as I grew up with roller blades. The change from roller blades to roller skates has been pretty forgiving, with the exception of turning of braking. Absolutely a learning curve on my part, no fault of the skates.
I bought one pair to see how they worked before I bought a second pair for my kiddo. Now that I've used them, I'm hesitant to recommend them for much smaller feet than my own, though the website advertises US size 6. There's a considerable amount of room (1.5"-2") between the front of my shoe and the front of the skate footbed, but I'll let my kiddo give it a shot in US size 6 shoes and see how they work.
Overall, loooove the product!! Smiles for miles :)

Snowfeet 99cm Ski Blades
These ski blades are a blast to use. Super easy to control, quick to turn, and way more forgiving than traditional skis.
They’re great for carving and navigating crowded slopes without feeling bulky. I felt comfortable on them within just a few runs.
Also a big plus—they’re lightweight and much easier to carry around than full-size skis.
Only trade-off is at higher speeds, where longer skis still feel more stable—but for overall fun and maneuverability, these are hard to beat.
Definitely worth it if you want something fun and easy to ride.

Went to the snow board park with the 65s. A lot of people were asking about Snowfeet. The kids borrowed them and said they enjoyed them.

I had a lot of fun with the 99s. They are easier to turn than skis. The kids tried them as well and boasted about them. Highly recommend.
