> 3 dayMy kids have been skating for a few months and made me wonder how cool would that be to try it myself. It is so much fun! Well, except the moments when I lose the balance )))) I love the skates - the size is right (I ordered slightly larger, to be on the safe side), very comfortable, skating is smooth. I wish it came with some skating skills included :)

> 3 dayThis will just be a initial review as I just got them and have done a few miles with them. Shipping was timely and they arrived as expected with no issues. First out of the box they were exactly as described and exactly what I expected. I just wanted cheap skates to see if I still enjoyed it because I hadnt skated in years and didnt want to just jump on a several hundred dollar pair. The sizing was a exact fit using my regular shoe size and they tightened up surprisingly well and held their tightness to my foot through the ride. Wheels and bearings seem perfectly fine and they are comfortable to wear. I just rode about two hours right after opening them. Fell once but not their fault lol. Overall they are exactly what I wanted them to be. A good intro skate nothing fancy. I will update this as I add miles to them.

> 3 dayI purchased this pair of Rollerblades having not been rollerblading in years and unsure of my size. In shoes I am a womens 9.5 tending towards the narrow side in shoes; in sneakers I am an Asics Gel 10 in womens. I purchased the mens 8.0 because I prefer the color and I have to say they fit PERFECTLY and they are GORGEOUS. I will give them a fuller try soon after I put on my protective gear. Remember to always wear your helmet and padding! I am still a beginner and I know these will last me for years. EXCELLENT PRODUCT! I rarely write reviews and am hoping someone else can benefit from the sizing information.

Greater than one weekStuck at home, my family gifted this to me on my birthday. Ive tried inline skating before a decade ago, and didnt get very far. Back then, my skates were uncomfortable and I fell a lot. I gave up after four attempts. These are a much more comfortable pair. There is padding inside which is useful for a total beginner but gets in the way of intermediate or advanced skaters (that want perfect transfer and control). Since Im a beginner, I have been a bit rough on the skates, and they have scuff marks on the side. The skates have also been left outside in the sun and dont look worse for it. The wheels are softer than other inline skate brands. This again is useful for beginners but might not be as good for intermediate skaters. The wheels rotate freely, the wheels are stable and dont wobble. Depending on the surface you practice on, you might need to rotate your wheels (instructions and allen key included). You will also need to lubricate the wheels or periodically remove them to remove hair and other debris that invariably gets caught. Again, this is easier than it sounds. You use the allen key, remove the wheel. Remove the debris, brush it away with an old toothbrush, and put the wheel back. Sizing: I got a size 10 and my foot-size is 10.5. I recommend a tight, snug fit. My foot is snug inside these blades, and they hold on to my ankle and heel near perfectly. If you do start, please do buy knee, elbow and wrist pads. After trying a few brands, I settled on pads that are also made by this company that makes inline skates. They were the same price as other no-name brands, and are much more snug. Starting out, I also recommend the excellent videos by SkatefreshAsha on Youtube. Good posture and good technique is vital to avoid back and leg pain, and to avoid fatigue. And as you get comfortable, you will need to learn specific techniques (stopping, turning, one-leg balance) that is essential to developing good technique. Get your posture and technique right, and in a year or two you can justify a good professional pair if youd like. Or you can continue with this pair recreationally or for a quick run around the hood. Hope this is useful, and hope you can learn how to skate as well! Skating is now it my special father-daughter hobby!

Greater than one weekThe complaints about the top buckle is right though, the hing is made of hard plastic which really feels like itd definitely wear down since you need to tighten around your ankle tightly. It even came off while I was riding the skates once. Besides that, it’s pretty standard of a skate. My foot is 26cm long and I got a size 8 to be safe. The shoe is true to size but its a soft shoe so it’d definitely stretch after a few uses, and mines has gotten too big. Ill recommend contacting the company on your exact measures to pick out what size works for you.

> 3 dayits been 20 years since I went rollerblading, turns out, im still awesome in them! bang for the buck with this model. I can see myself sporting these for awhile, and im not getting any younger so im gonna ride these bad boys to the ground. it does feel a little loose around my ankles no matter how tight I make them, but chances are I just nteed to wear thicker socks or maybe im just at that age where I should be bracing my ankles. I totally forgot how uncomfortable rolling down a street can get, I recommend buy A89 wheels if you plan to do a lot of street bladding, the stock ones are fine to break in the blades, but investing in new bearing and wheels does make a difference in durability, also the A89 wheels are still very comfortable on streets and sidewalks.

> 3 dayI liked this product I bought it for my son and he can’t get out of them. For a long time they hurt his feet yes but it got better so would recommend for begging skating.
