Review on πŸ›Ό K2 F.I.T. 80 Boa Skate by Sean Xayamonty

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Narrow boot and lack of ankle support.

I'm an experienced skater, I wear soft boots from brands like Rollerblade. I decided to try the K2 mainly because of its attractive BOA closure system. I ordered my normal size (US 9). I was very excited when I received them, but as soon as I put my feet on I noticed two main issues: The fit is too tight. Although they fit well in length, they appear to be made for people with very thin feet. You can see the bulge on the side as shown in the photo. I don't find my foot wide at all. Ankle support is also very low. If you are new to skating or need ankle support, look elsewhere as they will not help you. The closure system is comfortable and you get a consistent strap, although that's inconvenient as you might not need to tuck your toe in as hard as you would in the 45-degree range. However, the system seems flimsy, more like a gimmick. Not recommended.
