Every pair we sell adjusts. These four show the range, from EU 26 to 42.
Children's feet can grow a full size in a few months. That is why every pair of skates we sell is adjustable. The front of the boot slides out, so the same pair keeps fitting through three to five shoe sizes.
How do adjustable skates work?
Adjustable skates have a boot in two parts that slide apart to make the skate longer. You release the adjuster, slide the front out to the next size and lock it again. Each of our pairs covers three to five EU shoe sizes, so one pair can last a year or more.

Why adjustable skates save money
A fixed-size pair of skates may only fit for one school term. After that, you buy again. An adjustable pair spreads one purchase across several sizes.
| Fixed-size skates | Our adjustable skates | |
|---|---|---|
| Sizes covered | 1 | 3 to 5 |
| Likely to fit for | A few months | A year or more |
| Can pass to a sibling | Only if same size | Yes, across the range |
So even when the price is similar, adjustable skates cost less per month of use.
How much room to leave
Set the length so your child's toes sit close to the front without pressing or curling. With the strap and buckle closed, the heel should stay down when they bend the knees. If you can fit more than one finger behind the heel, shorten the skate by one notch.
Check the fit every month or two. Growth spurts happen fast, and toes pressing the front are the first sign it is time to extend. Our step-by-step guide on how to adjust adjustable skates walks through it.
Picking a range that lasts
If your child's shoe size falls near the bottom or middle of a range, that range will last longest. If it sits at the very top, go one range up. Use the kids skates size guide to measure the foot and check the numbers.
Frequently asked questions
Are all your skates adjustable?
All our skates are adjustable. Every pair, quad or inline, extends across a range of three to five EU shoe sizes.
How many sizes do adjustable skates cover?
Adjustable skates in our shop cover three to five sizes, depending on the model. For example, the XS adjustable quads cover EU 26 to 30.
Do adjustable skates fit as well as fixed sizes?
Adjustable skates fit as well as fixed sizes when they are set correctly and the straps are closed firmly. The straps and buckles hold the foot at every length.
How often should I adjust my child's skates?
You should check your child's skates every month or two and adjust them when the toes start to press the front. Children's feet often grow faster than parents expect.
Do I need tools to adjust the skates?
You usually do not need tools to adjust the skates. Most kids skates use a press button or a lever on the boot. If your pair is different, send us a photo on WhatsApp and we will explain it.
What is the largest adjustable size you sell?
The largest adjustable size we sell goes up to EU 42, in our inline L size, EU 39 to 42. That suits most children into their early teens.
Can adjustable skates be passed to a younger child?
Adjustable skates can be passed to a younger child once the older one outgrows them. Slide the boot back to a smaller setting within the range.
Are adjustable skates more expensive?
Adjustable skates are not more expensive in our shop. Every pair is adjustable, and prices start at KSh 5,499.
