My daughter has very wide feet but needs a pair of roller skates. Any ideas for brands or sites (or, even better, a place where she could try skates on)? We likely will need them in fairly short order.
Any help greatly appreciated!! |

Buy men's skates unless she just has to have pink or something.
Nobody will notice. |

| To try on?? Not a thing. |

| She definitely wants pink or at least white, but maybe I could find blue in men’s? She’s just sent me 10 links from Amazon and I bet none will work. |

Get white and then a can or pen of puff paint to spackle or decorate it herself? Soft skates will wear and spread some also, unless she wants roller blades or a hard skate shoe. |

| Curious, why does she need these? |

They don't have suggested stores? They sell cheap ones at Target she could try on at least? |

Oh, no—she’s a teen and needs adult sizes. |

What an odd thing to ask. AI? |

Order men’s and add on extra, cute laces and/or stickers (like you’d see stuck on skateboards). Order at least a few brands and sizes.
I often see a teen girl doing tricks on modded roller skates when I pick up DS from the skatepark. She has black skates, fun laces, and at least one sticker that I’ve noticed. She’s wicked cool, as are her skates. Way more awesome than my white dance skates with neon orange wheels in the 80s
