> 3 dayThese skates are GORGEOUS. The boot is very soft in the ankle which isn’t an issue for me but could be for people who need more support. I have a bigger problem, and ironically it’s that after a test ride I’m positive I need a bigger size but bc they’re not in unworn condition I don’t think i I can return them. Hopefully I can stretch them a bit. Also, the model I received is a bit different than what appears if you go directly to their website. Their newer models are outfitted with a rock nylon plate, which is fine. The plates on the skates I received are very “bouncy” and as a heavier skater I’ll probably upgrade them. I got these while waiting on my back ordered Lollies and I’m a little disappointed. Order cautiously and go a full size bigger since these are more women’s sized and EU equivalent. You can always add an insole and socks.

> 3 dayThis is my first pair of skates. I ordered a couple of other brands in the same price range of approximately $150 and I’ll be returning them and keeping these. These ones are the most comfortable and seem like they’re better quality than the others as well. I ordered my usual shoe size (7) and they fit perfectly. Excited to learn this new skill!!

> 3 dayI love the look of the skate. The comfort is perfect. The sole has a memory foam snd padding around the ankle/chin. Easy to control movements. The wheels have just enough bounce you need trying to OG skate. Im a newbie at this style of skating so I need all the comfort I can get. The only issue I have is that the left front stopper keeps coming off. Other then that for the price, comfort and style they get 5stars.

> 3 dayI Bought a pair of BTFL Scarlet Pros for my wife for xmas. She said they were great, her only complaint being not enough padding in the heel over the metal plate. I just recently got her another pair, this time the Faya Pros, which she Absolutely LOVES.

> 3 dayBrand new out of the bow I would have given these about 4 stars but with the help of reading other reviews giving these skates just a few adjustments they are worthy of 5 stars for a beginner/novice skater. The first positive for these skates has to be the adjustable toe stop which is less often seen for a skate of this price range. It really is an invaluable help because I feel each person has their own preference for stopping etc . The faux suede is soft and playable but still offers enough support for your ankles. Overall I have to say the look of these skates is super appealing and well done. What I changed/plan to change The insoles that come with these are flimsy flat pieces of foam, but having read the reviews I ordered an inexpensive pair of memory foam inserts and let me tell you it makes these skates a dream to use. That in combination with the ankle pads make these incredibly comfortable. I do also plan on switching out the wheels to some wider gummy wheels since these are rounded on the edges and not quite best for the skating I’m doing- but that’s not necessarily a negative more of a preference. The only real -negative- is that they don’t come with a skate tool but those are easily bought and rather inexpensive. All in all I love them so far and will update in the future about how they are holding up

> 3 dayI love these skates! The quality is evident as soon as you open them up. I wear 8 wide in most shoes, however I ordered a 7, based on the measurements charts. Perfect fit with plenty of room. An 8 would have been huge. Its challenging for me to to find comfortable shoes, but these are a dream. I am thrilled with the comfort level. The uppers have enough support with plenty of give if crouching is required. Padding at back prevents chafing and is a pretty accent, too! I did replace the insoles, which I believe is expected. The liners make great templates for replacements. The wheels are nicely rounded so you dont hook an edge. They just feel good! I made minor adjustments to the bearings to speed them up. Easily done with the handy 3 way wrench that is included. Adjusts trucks, brakes and bearings.

> 3 dayI used to be an avid skater and it’s been a while since I’ve gone to the rink. The skates look exactly like the picture: good quality genuine leather suede and the wheels are pretty. These were fine right out of the box and wearing these skates made it easy to transition back on the floor seamlessly. These wheels offer a smooth ride with a little bit of resistance (hardness is under 90A). I will change my wheels to 90A when I feel more comfortable and confident with my skating. The boot is comfortable and I was able to adjust the truck for maneuverability and the toe stop is also adjustable. To my surprise, a tool for adjusting the truck and toe stop was included in the box (not mentioned in the specs and not made for removing skate wheels). I had ordered a tool for around $7 not knowing that one came in the box, but it can be used take the wheels off so you’ll need to order a separate tool anyway. Overall, it’s a great skate for all types of skaters. I look forward to hours of skating in these. I did a lot of research before buying and these skates hit all the marks that the experts recommended. (I didn’t have the skates and tool with me when I wrote this so I’ll take pictures and will post them shortly.)

> 3 dayI took a chance on this pair because the impala skates I bought was really bad and moxis were all sold out. I read reviews first before purchasing and went ahead to order hybrid wheels, bearings, smaller toe stops and laces. When these arrived I fell inlove how comfy the boots are. The stock wheels are actually good and everything else. Now it’s fully upgraded with fundae wheels, flat laces, mini toe stops and leather toe caps that I made. I highly recommend this.
