Greater than one weekI bought these largely for rink skating, and the rink surface is polished concrete, so I needed something that would be hard and slick enough for some jam/shuffle skating with turns and spins, but also something with enough grip to not lose control. These are a great, affordable option. The colors are pretty true to the pictures, I ordered the lime green and its pretty solidly neon lime. I have royal purple Moxi Lolly boots, so the color really pops with them. Caveats with these wheels, or just things I had to do with them that I did differently than softer, wider wheels. I liked my trucks more loose with wide wheels, because it helped with spins and crossovers, but I found with these, the smaller size needed tighter trucks to keep stability. Getting bearings in wasnt difficult, but seating them all the way in so the spin was free was a bit trickier, like the front bearings needed an extra shove to really seat properly. But overall, Im very happy with these wheels. Good balance of grip and slickness, and you really cant beat $40 for a set of eight wheels. I only wish they would come in packs of four to mix and match, Ill probably end up with like four sets of different colors and mismatch them all eventually, haha.

> 3 dayI bought the Riedell R3 roller skates (I dont derby, just for casual rink skating) and ended up skating on the stock wheels for about a month. After I changed the wheels out for these, it took my skating to the next level of fun. These wheels are smooth at gliding, yet allow you to have enough traction to still be speedy if you wish. I will never go back to the stock wheels and will be putting these Rollerbones on all of my future skates aswell. These are well worth the cost and the best part is that they are made in Santa Barbara California, USA! Once you buy these, youll never go back...

> 3 dayI got the 57mm, 98a in purple. Oh. My. Gosh. Wonderful wheels for indoor rink skating! They are such a great price for the quality of the wheels being so good! They have enough grip but also have a nice slide to them. I definitely still feel very stable and I like the slide for quick turn around from forward to backwards. And for spins. I dont feel so stuck to the ground like I did in my old wheels which were 96a. These rollerbones wheels have a super fast roll; very little effort is needed for a long and fast roll around the rink. I highly recommend these wheels!

Greater than one weekGot these for my 6 year old daughter to put on her new christmas skates. She had been skating on some kid skates for 4 months and was progressing quickly. After upgrading, she took another leap in her abilities. After another 5 months of weekly skating these wheels are holding up very well; showing little wear (even with lots of falls) and no deformity.

> 3 dayMy favorite indoor wheel. Like skating on a cloud. Someone recommended sure grip artistic fame wheels & I skated on them for a few months before I got new skates and wanted a different color wheel. Thought I’d try these & wow, these are night and day a thousand times better than the sure grips. Even though they’re 98A wheels, you barely feel anything you’re rolling over. Love them.
