Greater than one weekThese skates are very expensive but totally worth it. They fit really well. They feel great. They are very well made. I must have skated on these today for almost 2 hours and my feet felt perfectly fine. I love these skates. If you are going to skate a lot I highly recommend these. They are great for outdoors. I went to the park with these and they held up great. I highly recommend these. They are worth the price

> 3 dayI absolutely love my Moxi Lolly’s. I got back into quad skating about 10 month ago & I wish I would have just purchased the Moxi Lolly’s in the first place. Lolly’s were my first choice but I was worried about skating in a softer suede boot so I ended up getting a pair of Impalas thinking I wanted a stiffer boot. The Impalas were ok at first - but after 6 mos + of skating in them - I just couldn’t break the Impalas in. My feet were literally crying b/c the boot just kept hitting all the wrong spots on my foot. I started getting blisters all the time & that’s when I decided I needed to try something else. To be fair, I did like the ankle support of the Impala at first as I hadn’t been on skates in 25+ years. As my confidence & skill set advanced, I realized that I ”outgrew” the Impalas. I needed something comfortable for my feet, with more flexibility in the boot (to accommodate new moves), a removable stopper, etc. I bit the bullet & ordered my Lolly’s. Re: size, I’m a Women’s Size 8. I sized down to the equivalent of a Women’s Size 7 (Men’s 5). They fit great but the suede does stretch a bit over time. I could probably go down another half size - but the size I ordered works fine for me. Getting my Lolly’s on my feet have been a GAME CHANGER. The Lolly’s feel like heaven on my feet. All the blisters I had from the Impala’s went away. This was huge b/c I didn’t realize how uncomfortable I had been prior to having Lolly’s. Things I love about the Lolly & it’s standar setup: 1.) includes the crab tool (you def need it) 2.) includes removable toe stops (I really like the PowerDyne toe stops so far) 3.) includes Moxi Gummy wheels. I have to say.. I really like the Gummy’s. I tend to jam/rhythm skate outside on a tennis court & the Gummy’s are my new favorite wheel for tennis courts. I would definitely purchase Moxi Gummy wheels stand-alone again. 4.) aesthetically - the Lolly’s really are a beautiful skate. What I think could be improved on the standard Lolly setup: 1.) the color from my laces bled (mine came with the Oyster color) onto the tongue of my skates. I got the Green Apple suede & I was so bummed this happened. If I had to do it again, I would either got a different pair of laces (that don’t bleed) or, at the very least, I would have washed the laces first (with a color catcher) before putting them on my skates 2.) the bearings on the standard Lolly set up are sealed. I’m not a fan of sealed bearings & I immediately replaced them with Bones Big Balls. Kind of a bummer the bearings aren’t better given the price tag of the Lolly’s. 3.) Extra Parts - I wish Moxi would include a second set of axel screws in the box. If you change / clean your wheels regularly - you’re going to need new axel screws sooner than you think. Save yourself the trouble & order some from SureGrip now so you have them when you need them. 4.) the metal Lolly charm that comes on the skates is sort of pointless. Whatever it’s attached to - it falls off. Not a deal breaker- but given the choice I would much rather have extra axel screws instead. 5.) the color of the suede isn’t as vivid as shown in pictures online (IMO). I ordered Green Apple & was bummed the color wasn’t as vivid as it was supposed to be. Overall - I’m in love with my Lolly’s & I’m so glad I switched.

Greater than one weekI will start off with saying I am not the most skilled skater, but I do have a lengthy independent background. I was SUPER excited to get the Lollys, not only are they super cute, but excellent quality. They were definitely made with cruising outdoors in mind. I did a significant amount of research before deciding on these and from what I can tell they are authentic. Came with the exact same equipment, looks the exact same. MY ONLY COMPLAINTS, and I feel like these are important, but not game changers, are: some of the eyelets are not smooth and caught horribly while I was lacing them, also makes it a little difficult to loosen and tighten laces. I was hoping to replace the laces with something cuter, but now Im going to have to figure out how to fix this first. Next, I noticed there was a small knick on one of the nylon thrust plates on one skate, Im hoping this wont be an issue in the long run, but Im not planning on dropping into a bowl anytime soon so Im not super worried. And lastly the stock sole insert is SO thin, but I was already planning on replacing it for something more comfortable. Something that REALLY bothered me though, was how they were shipped. They were shipped in their decorative box AND IT WAS OPEN, I nearly had a heart attack seeing that! Im really surprised everythin made it here in one piece all together. No tape and the hole on the top of the box was punched out for the handle and the box was wide open, like holy smokes dude. Straight miracle I swear. And now for the good stuff. The bearings are sooooo smooth omg it rolls like butter. The color is so vivid and I love the yellow way more than I thought I would. I am a true 8.5 wide in womens and I opted to get a slightly bigger boot (size 8 boot) since I know I always struggle with narrow shoes and these are definitely narrow. I know that because theyre genuine suade they will fit better width wise after I break them in a bit, but I like the extra room so I can add a nice insole. I love the structure of the boot, the suede is strong but flexible, which is exactly what I was looking for, I tried out other boots and was really not okay with the stiffness that comes from a synthetic leather, but this will be just right after I get them broken in. The wheels are so nice, theyre soft and wide and will be perfect outdoors, if I take them to a rink Ill definitely switch them out, but thats just a given, not a problem at all. It also comes with a skate tool, which is perfect for adjusting the bearings and everything before you really take them out. Make sure to test everything out and loosen and tighten the bolts before you do anything else. Theres even an instruction booklet on how to do some maintenance. Overall Im pretty happy with the Moxi Lollys.
