Review on ๐Ÿ’ K2 Skate Men's F.I.T. BOA Ice Skate Black: Advanced Performance and Style by Ricky Habbani

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great pair of skates with innovative lacing system

This is my first pair of skates. I used to borrow them whenever I went ice skating a few times. I should try them out someday. I have to say they felt great! Really comfortable. I bought these particular skates because of the FIT BOA lacing system. My wife has the same system on Reebok skates and I thought it was great. The lacing wire on her skates is made of metal. On these K2s, it appears to be made out of some sort of synthetic fiber material. Hope it holds up and doesn't break. Another issue I have with these skates is that they are a bit small. I usually wear 11.5-12. I ended up needing a 12.5 in these skates to get enough length for my toes. I have had a pair of K2 inline skates for over 12 years. They were excellent, held up well and are still comfortable. I expect these skates to perform the same. Thanks to the FIT BOA lacing system, they are incredibly easy to put on and even adjust while riding. I use them for recreational skating, not hockey.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Non automatic
