This item was released in 2008 and retired in 2018.Julie's Roller Skates Item# F7866 $16 (price increase to $18 January, 2012) "Julie thinks her shoe-style roller skates are “boss,” and she can’t wait to zip around town in her fashion-forward wheels. Your girl can lace Julie’s skates over knee-high socks and get ready to roll! "These are absolutely adorable! The shoe part is vinyl with rubber soles and real laces. The axles and wheels are thick, sturdy plastic, but they roll really well. The red toe-stop is thick plastic too, not rubber. These are made very well and very sturdy. I had no trouble getting them on her and she can stand up on them very easily. I had a pair exactly like these in 1977!! The socks are knee-highs and not very snaggable. That's good. Of course these go great with Julie's 2-in-1 Summer outfit but they could go with anything. Great item for the price. Grade A

A+
Pros: I think these are absolutely adorable! I like the laces and how they're long enough to be tied in a good bow, and the socks are really cute!
Cons: When trying to slide these on I made a teeny tiny tear in the back. I got really upset because I was thinking about what if it got worse? And the thing was, my doll was a mattel- Nellie!
Definatley worth the price!

My roller skates in the mid 70's were the strap-on-over-shoes kind, not like these. I still loved Julie's so much I bought a second set, lol. I think they are very well made replicas of real skates... actually they look just like some of the ones our local skating rink sells. Definitely rate an A+ imho

The roller skates and socks are so cute! I love the striped socks, they would go with many different outfits. The roller skates / socks look adorable with her 2 -in- 1 outfit, but also look great with a casual outfit. Grade: A

Julie's roller skates are really cute, but I don't recall skates being a part of gy, shoes. My skates in the mid to late 70's had a metal footbed, clamps at the toe and a leather strap that went around my ankle.
