Review on Roller Stardust Glitter Leather Outdoor by Johnnie Trimble

First I want to say that these are not very good skates. For this price you can buy a pair of Sure Grip Fames skates or a pair of used skates on Facebook Marketplace. The only good thing is that they have an aluminum plate and bogies (which keeps the skates in the trunk and the wheels in the plate). This is the only plus. The aluminum plate is quite light, so it can break with more intensive use of the skates. The shoe is not sewn to the sole. This means that the only thing holding the real part of the skate shoe to the rest of the skate is some kind of thin glue. This is the same problem as with Impala or Angel skates. Fully expect them to crumble on you. And then the boot is strangely high. They came down to my mid-calf and were about 2-3 inches larger than my Sure Grips. They were vinyl, but with the fairing, that was to be expected. And they added some padding around the ankle bones. So let's get to the adjustable part. The front of the sock slides back and forth to provide the snug (but not restrictive) fit essential for skating. But when it's adjusted to the smallest size (which they claim is an 8 for women), the front wheels are under your toes. Skating is dangerous because you lose your balance. The wheels should be under the heels and under the balls of the feet, period. I honestly can't comment on the wheels as I wasn't comfortable enough to try the skates on. I could take them off and put them on other skates just to see, but they look and feel like a lot of the cheap Chinese wheels you see at Revain. So I can recommend them to everyone. No? Don't buy this. Take $100, burn a hole in your pocket, go to your local skate shop or rink and buy skates there. It would just be throwing money away on something nice. If you want to spend $100 on nice doorstops. Sure, do it. But that's all they're good for.
