21-11-2024Skates arrived with no scuffs or dark marks like other reviewers have mentioned. However, the eyelets that touch the tongue when you lace them up do cause marking, so I wouldn’t be surprised if some come with marks on them. I imagine suede cleaner will take this out easily and I recommend getting that in advance. They seem to be a good quality for the price. Also, definitely make sure you have a skate tool when you purchase as these do not come with one. I had to loosen and adjust everything which is to be expected. The boots themselves are very comfortable everywhere (no blisters!) except for the insert. It feels rock hard after skating for a bit. Definitely buy some good inserts to make them more comfortable. I would also recommend toe guards to protect the suede. The toe stops seem pretty decent and same for the wheels. Definitely good for a beginner skater outdoors. Eventually I will go for slightly harder and smaller wheels to work on tightening my spins and turns, but for getting used to outdoor skating and uneven surfaces they’re fine. The plates are nylon so these are not the skates for skateparks where you’re grinding or dropping into a bowl as they can snap. I did a roll test upon receiving them and one of my skates is perfectly straight and the other pulls in one direction a bit. I’m still playing with the cushions to see if maybe I can get it better, but it’s definitely something to be aware of. All in all, with a few adjustments and minor tweaks these seem to be pretty quality skates for general outdoor skating and some jam skating. They fit my needs perfectly.

> 3 dayI was looking to learn to rollerskate and I stumbled across these. I knew nothing about skating and after reading the reviews I settled on these being a great bang for my buck. I picked right! I love these! They came pretty quickly. No cheap plastic parts,comes with an adjustment tool and the boots fit great. I went up a half size because I read they ran a little small and I would definitely recommend doing that. After having them for a few months I love skating. They are like an extension of my legs. The wheels are in-between hard and soft so they work both indoors and outdoors. I would recommend getting a pair of toe covers if you dont want to scuff up the suede on the boots but that is more my fault than the boots. Overall they beautiful great skates!

> 3 dayI’m a beginner/intermediate skater and was looking for good quality & COMFORTABLE skates for daily practice. I started my skating journey with Impala skates (hard vinyl) which were easy on the eyes, but not so much on the feet - I had bad blisters after just two days. That’s when I started looking into Moxy Polly’s, and while they had great reviews, I couldn’t bring myself to pay the $300+ price tag which is when I came across these “knock offs” and I’m SO glad I did! I’ve had them for a couple months now & I can honestly so they’re hands down the most conformable skates I’ve ever slid my feet into. I can roll around for hours day after day and they never lose their comfort. Also love the fact that it comes with an all in one Y-tool, it’s compact enough to toss in my fanny pack in case anything comes loose during a ride. All in all I highly recommend!

Greater than one weekThey look nice I am a beginner but it seems they are quite heavy and hard to maneuver especially for beginners

> 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.

> 3 dayGreat for beginners. Or those who already know how to skate but haven’t in quite some time. I decided to customize them to look more my style. But they looked great before hand.

> 3 dayAs soon as I got them, I tried them on. They are beautiful and feel very comfortable. They are the perfect fit- was worried about them not fitting because I wear a 9&1/2-10, and the option was either 9 or 11, so I went with size 9. Perfect fit. I put on longer socks, and laced them up, and they fit nice and snug. Using some wrench tools I loosened up any tight wheels and tightened any too-loose wheels, so they were all the same, and adjusted the stopper with a wrench as well. I hadn’t gotten any protective gear, and since I don’t know how to roller skate, I had to take it easy and practice carefully on my hard wood floors, and I pretty much got the hang of it very easily! Didn’t fall, or get stuck at all, very smooth rolling, and didn’t take them off all day! I very much highly recommend, they are so worth it.

> 3 dayAfter I did more research I found that a metal plate is better than a non-metal plate, however, I plan to take it easy since Im 59 and havent been on skates since age 17. So for me, this should work out fine. Turns out, this girls still got it!! lol. I usually wear a size 8 or 7 1/2 W and ordered an 8. The boot is very comfortable even though I have a wide foot and high arch. This is the main reason I will be keeping as Ive read other boots not so comfy. It came new out of the box with tag still on, stitching, laces, eyes and hooks all same number and matching and in new condition. I even got an adjusting tool in with the box that I was not expecting. Im happy with the purchase. Cant speak for long term wear on the plate as have used only twice.

Greater than one weekI absolutely love these skates. They’re made by a German company (for women by women) THE LOOK: At first I was not sure about the suede exterior especially since I use them outside and frequently. Mine are light blue so they kinda look dirty now.. but it’s cool just shows that I am actually using them. These skates have a classic look and I get compliments about them constantly. Also You can always add embellishments toe boots and colorful laces. THE FIT: I saw on a YouTube video saying they run small. A girl said she ordered a whole size up and they were tight. I usually wear an 8.5 and I got a 9. Length wise they fit me like an 8.5 width they fit like kind of like a 9. Soo idk if that is something inconsistent with their boot design or not. Just a rule in general for sizing with skates. They get a little loose the more you use them. They are supposed to fit a wee snug when you first get them! You will break them in. Overall quality: They’re great for outdoor! The wheels are jelly! These aren’t speed skates but I have definitely been able to pick up speed! These make a great first pair or even 3rd pair of skates. I gave this 4 stars because mainly they’re too expensive. This new obsession for roller skates has given room for price gouging.
