Pretty tall, best at rollerblading and inline skating

I work at Sonic so I skate at least 20 hours a week. They've held up pretty well over the last month. The only thing that confuses me is that the wheels could definitely be higher quality. I often catch myself almost falling on the pebbles, but with a good set of wheels they are comparable to VNLA brand professional skates and maybe more comfortable. Not to mention that VNLA skates are around $250 each. The skates were very uncomfortable at first but after a week they feel good although I have…

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • Low repairability

Waste of money/Cheap production

Firstly, don't waste your money on this. I had to spend extra money to get a professional pair. cork PLASTIC! Which is very dangerous! You can't force yourself to stop when it's necessary! And the wheels are bolted on so tightly that I can't even ride them properly. The studs don't move AT ALL, so it's not possible to put outside wheels on them. Because trust me, you do NOT want to ride these original bikes on the pavement. They are only for the rink. Even then I don't think they are safe…

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Discontinued

You get what you pay for and it doesn't have to be!

First, the skates are advertised with rainbow laces. Just come in black. The bearings are broken and need to be replaced. The shoes themselves are terribly stiff, rubbed my wife's skin and left a severe rash on her ankles. You have to drive with big bandages. It's advertised as Derby-ready, but the solid finger rest is said to be in the shape of chewing gum and doesn't fit in a real finger rest. You need a new skate plate! Suddenly you trade everything for a skateboard and spend even more…

Pros
  • Easy to assemble
Cons
  • Not bad, but...

Axel Spins, white comes with white laces

First of all, I was very upset that the white pair in the photo has rainbow laces, and what you get is actually boring white laces. After placing my order I noticed the pattern was different and ordered separate colored laces but still a bummer. Second, after changing the wheel for outdoor use, I tried to put the wheels back on and the axle was spinning in the plastic so it was tightening on one side more than the other because the handlebars were moving back and forth, what shouldn't have…

Pros
  • Roller skates
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

Unsafe ice skates in sports

It's terrible. It was difficult to find a GOOD pair of skates anywhere else due to the pandemic, so I settled on these. Bad mistake! It's been 3 months and one of my wheels is off the ground and the belts are starting to snap. Forget changing wheels because when I did it the skate got worse and the carts are made so cheaply you have very little flexibility. Even on the rink, my wheels no longer stick to the floor, even after cleaning the wheels and bearings. Just a very unsafe skate design. I…

Pros
  • Scooters and roller skates
Cons
  • Little things

So excited I can't take it!

I bought men's size 6/women's size 7 first and received it so quickly. I tried them and was satisfied. Even though I knew they were the wrong size. So I quickly ordered a new pair and started shipping back. Let me just say that I've been roller skating since I was 16. My first skates were Riedell Bonzi skates with a metal plate, colored wheels and the best bearings they made at the time. They were white leather boots with green laces and purple wheels. I've been spending my Friday and Saturday…
