Review on πŸ›Ό C SEVEN C7skates Quad Roller Skates - Vintage Retro Design, Ideal for Modern Skating by Tony Guernsey

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Really great quality!

So, after not skating since I was a child, my friend had a birthday party at the rink and I had a lot of fun, so I wanted to skate again. I had a pair of old inline skates that someone had given me years ago, but once I started riding them I got blisters and also had a lot of trouble getting up to speed, so I knew I'd buy a pair of acquaintances should. I spend a lot of time. studied brands on the Internet and decided on C7. I was about to spend more for a nicer brand or buy one of the cheaper ones but not sure how serious I am yet thought I'd save my money. I also didn't like how the quiet mid-range grips looked, and everything else, like the Impalas, was over $200. At the time, I was fighting between the classic men's Chicago skates (which have the most reviews) and the Xudrez skates, which have a light wheel stitch option, and these skates are C7s. In the end I chose this C7 because I liked the way it looked more than Chicago and Xudrez. To be honest I didn't have too high expectations as they were cheaper (they were around $55 when I bought them) but they turned out great! They look just like the pictures and are very comfortable! Just rode 8 miles on the beach and felt like I was swimming. It was very easy to ride and cruise and the material was very flexible yet strong enough to give me control. Of course this is basically my first pair of skates so I have nothing to compare them to other than the rental I have. roller rink and they ride just as good as the ones on the ice rink and they look a lot better. In addition, the material is pleasant to the touch and firm. Compared to other skates, they have a plastic base, which makes them very light. It's fine for me, but I think if you're skating aggressively it might not be as durable. Another thing I learned from my research is that you want to make sure you're buying the right wheels, just like you would if you plan on riding outdoors. They need softer wheels so they glide better over rocks and pavement. These wheels are 82A and are softer and ideal for outdoor use. (Most wheels range in size from 72 to 102, with 72 being soft and 102 being hard.) Again, I'm not a skateboarding expert and have only ridden them once, so I can't comment on their durability or load capacity. do stunts and such, but I've ridden 8 miles of beach trail that included climbs and descents, lots of sand/gravel sections etc and I'm good enough to do 180 and reverse and I'm very happy with it. The only complaint I have is that the toe stopper is at a pretty high angle so you really have to flex your foot to get it down. It's not adjustable either, so you're stuck with whatever angle it's set to.
