Review on NIKINER Classic Premium High Top Leather by Eric Montgomery

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Pleasant for beginners, intermediate skateboarders

A year ago my wife went roller skating but wanted a pair of roller skates to have fun. A year ago she badly broke her leg and was out of the game for seven months but returned to football with a disability. Now she can do more, she's licensed to skate, but she really wanted those skates. So when I had the opportunity to capture this couple for her, I took it. She had to wait a little, but now she had a chance to mount her. These classic NIKINER women's high top leather inline skates are worthy, she described them as good for beginner to intermediate level skaters, but they have a few things worth mentioning. First, she has a foot size that can be a 9 or 9.5 with a range to work out in between depending on the show and cut. In this case, after ordering online, she was initially unable to try them on. In the end she feels the fit down the leg is overall good but tight. The front part of the boot - in the toe area - is narrowest. She tried thicker socks first, but then decided on compression stockings, which worked much better. The skin can sometimes conform to the foot by stretching a little to hug the foot, but in this case we're not sure. She says the front of her toes are stiff, the skin is tough, so she can't imagine them stretching. Finally, she thinks that if you're the right size, you should be fine, but if there's even a slight deviation from the size of the foot, it can be a problem. Secondly, the skates look beautiful, and in general the materials. - The skin is good. The base and wheel materials appear to be good. They have wheels that should glow when played - they glow but are hard to see in daylight. We haven't tried them in the dark and see a slight glow, but generally you won't be driving in the dark, so what we're seeing isn't overly impressive. There's a little video above, but yeah, the 'light' doesn't impress us. Third, she loved inline skating from childhood to adolescence and would like to get back to it. She loves, loves, loves skating, but there's something about skating that's close to her heart. We'll say because she couldn't do something like that in a year, it was hard for her - she felt it hard/big/painful and should slowly come back to it. She got up, left, and liked it very much. She felt it coming back and she enjoyed the experience. She feels that these classic high top NIKINER women's inline skates with premium leather inline skates will get her back up and moving - with time to develop - and she will be able to enjoy it. But she also thinks it's a beginner to intermediate level. The floor itself - the surface - is important. The place we took her to (parking lot) was rude and inconvenient for her. She has a place that she likes to ice skate at, but for several months of the year (currently) we have a large amount of acorns that fall and she cannot skate (or inline) in the area for safety reasons. So this parking lot showed her that not every surface works with these skates. All in all, these are decent skates. What to look for: size, type of sock, surface for skiing. This will affect the experience. She sets them up best for novice presenters. And finally she likes them and thinks that she will get a lot out of them.

Pros
  • Skates, Skateboards and Scooters
Cons
  • poorly thought out
