Review on πŸ‘Ÿ FEETCITY Women's High-Top Roller Skates: Stylish PU Leather Four-Wheel Shiny Skates for Girls and Unisex by Jamar Gow

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A fun way to have fun outdoors, but not the best choice for beginners. (Details below)

I've wanted a pair of ATV skates for a long time, so I was glad I got them in exchange for my honest review of Vine. Feetcity women's inline skates were $78.99 when I ordered them. Ice skates are good, but they're not the best choice for beginners who are still learning the basics for a number of reasons (see below). Also, at this price you can go to any of the well known sporting goods stores and buy a really good pair of skates that don't have the problems that you find with these skates and probably at a lower price. These skates are not well made or high quality, but will do if you can take the quirks and/or have some experience. If you're lazy or just avoiding crowds, I think you should consider the following before you buy. THE GOOD: 1. Wheels/bearings are pretty good once they're "broken in" and aren't the factory slippery quality anymore. TTS insole. I have a size 7 women's shoe and the size 7 skates fit my foot as expected.3. Both skates have a front "brake", not just one of the skates. Simple look, no highlights, no markings, just white boots with black soles and white/transparent PU wheels. NOT SO GOOD: 1. The weirdest problem with these skates is the tongue of the boot - it only goes up about 2/3, leaving the last 1/3 of your laces out of the tongue's reach. During riding, the tongue slips sideways, proving its usefulness as a human appendage.2. Poor quality control during production manifests itself in all skates as crooked stitching, button/buckle stitching.3. The PU leather used for the boot is very thin and offers no support. This means that even if the skates are laced as tightly as possible, your foot will slip so far that precise skating maneuvers are significantly more difficult, even for an experienced skater like me. For this reason I do not recommend this skate for beginners. The lack of support makes it much more difficult to maintain balance than with skates that offer at least minimal support in the shoe. This also means you can lace them as tight as you can, but due to the lack of structure in the shoe, you will end up feeling like your foot is too tight without having the support you need to snug your foot hold space while driving. VERDICT: I love these skates and use them every day. Their flaws are not negligible and at $78.99 you don't have to put up with them, but that doesn't mean they're a bad product. This is a great way to spend time outdoors while getting a good full body workout. I walk my dog while I skate and we have a great time!
