Review on πŸ›Ό F6S Falcon Inline Freeskates by Flying Eagle by Ashwin Chauhan

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great quality ice skates!

I (like many other 30 year olds) have recently returned to roller skating. I bought these because I was looking for something more versatile than my Tour Code 9 hockey skates. The details are as follows: foot length 235mm, EU size 38, women's size 6.5-7.0. Ice skates fit differently than shoes. Your toes should be as close to the front of the shoe as possible, or touching the front of the boot but not against it. Don't rely on shoe size. Measure, measure. Measure. If in doubt, take one size larger. They're pretty narrow. If you have a wide foot, go up a size or look for another brand like Seba. My god the color is amazing (I have dark green)! A very attractive dark green color with black accents and shiny eagle frames really make this skate stand out. I really wish they had 80mm wheels. Smaller sizes (EU36-40) have a diameter of 76 mm. This is fairly standard on all FE skates. I don't think 80mm wheels will fit in 231mm frames. The frame is laterally adjustable, which AMAZINGly eliminates severe pronation/supination problems. This also means that the frames are removable! Install multiple FE Supersonic frames for 3x110 or Ultrasonic frames for 3x125mm! I haven't rocked mine, but it's as easy as flipping the front and rear axles. Breathable so you don't end up with ugly wet socks every time you ride. - Marked FE ABEC 7. Maybe someday I'll switch to Cats Leopard or Bones Swiss bearings. Spare parts abound. Places like proskatersplace.com sell buckles, bolts, and trucks, as well as new frames for a variety of setups. Verdict: Flying Eagle F6S Falcons are relatively cheap, but MAN make them feel like $300 skates. What a huge improvement over the skates I used in the 90's. Really reliable skateboard with some nice features (especially the ability to switch frames). I couldn't be happier with my purchase. I assume they will last me for a few years.
