Oh right! I thought you were 5 or something, since many people buy skates 2 sizes bigger for their kids because they have growth spurts. A little boy grew 1 size bigger in a month's time even.
Me too! I bought my first pair of skates, literally the second time I went on ice at the ice rink shop *phooey*. Then I went to a specialist skate shop and got my feet measured and he insisted that 2 and 1/2 sizes bigger is just way too much.
I looked like Bozo the Clown and felt a little funny for a while. My coach thought those boots were a tad too long for my height and build.
