> 3 dayI was happy that the skates came in larger sizes (I wear a womens 13), but the color choices were limited to the tan and black. Luckily, a $8 bottle of leather dye , some new laces, and a toe protector made these into the cute skates I was looking for! I definitely recommend buying some better bearings and loosening the trucks to actually make some headway as a beginner skater (without unnecessary struggling) . These are the biggest bang for your buck!

> 3 dayI loved skating as a kid. Im 49 now and decided why not? I did a bunch of research to figure out what kind of skate would be best for me. I live in one of those ultimate master planned communities in suburban Phoenix with walking paths around 2 huge manmade lakes. Since it seemed like outdoor skating would be my thing, I started looking into boardwalk skates, but I wasnt really thrilled with the idea of dropping $200-$400 on Moxi, Suregrip, or Jackson skates. I also didnt want to have to buy different wheels and cushions and change them out to get what I wanted. Too expensive, plus, Im an amateur. I looked into Chayla and BTFL when I came across them during my research. They were still more than I wanted to pay but much more reasonable. I added them to my cart and kept on eye on them for a couple of months. You may ask why a couple of months? Summer in Phoenix, thats why! Since I most likely wouldnt start using them until it cooled off I figured I had time to watch for deals. Sure enough, one day a pair of size 10 BTFL appeared as Like New for $88! I immediately ordered them. Having ordered Like New from Amazon before, I wasnt too concerned. What Ive found is that the products are usually brand new and unused but the packaging is wrecked. Sure enough, they show up in pristine condition, but the box had a label ripped off of it (think taking the price tag off to give it as a gift). The skates are better than I expected. The boot is extremely soft and comfortable. My foot measures a hair smaller than 26cm, and size 10 fits great. The wheels are 80a, great for outdoor skating. What I like the most about the BTFL skates is that they had the widest wheels (61mm x 38mm) outside of Moxi Lollies. The wider the wheel, the more stable for old ladies! Ive tried them a few times and they ride great. I cant wait for cooler weather. A local skate club does Saturday morning lessons at a local park. Looking forward to refreshing my skills!

> 3 dayI started roller skating with a cheapy pair of skates a few months ago… I’ve been a verrry slow learner because of the basic physical fear I’ve had for 30 years…. Anyway I’ve watched countless videos and reviews and comparisons and I am so thankful I ended up deciding on these. I experience zero foot discomfort from skating afterwards, they’re super comfortable and true to my normal shoe size. I changed out the laces and I’m basically obsessed with them they’ve become like an extension of myself

> 3 dayThese are soooo soft and comfortable to wear. I actually really enjoyed the way they felt. The reason why i ultimately decided not to keep them was because I am a total beginner. Besides ice skating one time when i was 12, I have never been on any type of skates. I felt that because it was a such a soft boot that it wouldnt provide me the necessary support and protection that I would need as a learner. The wheels are very smooth so I had a difficult time trying to balance with them and just overall control. Maybe if i get really good I will repurchase this.

> 3 dayI can’t wait to skate on these in a rink this week! I’ve skated around my house a bit and I’m in heaven! They are like skating in slippers! The wheels are great and so smooth on my wood floor! I’m not sure how good these ones are for a beginner. The trucks were loose and just perfect when I got them! I only had to raise the toe stops! I can’t wait to dance on these!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

> 3 dayThese skates are so comfortable!! It feels like you are wearing slippers. I purchased Impala skates before this brand and they were too narrow for me. So I decided these would be the next skate to try and I love them!! They are so comfortable! Pretty skates. I did not size up in these, I ordered my true size and they fit perfectly.
