So it looks like no one skating has been looking at her. They can feel the board very well and they don't move. They absorb shocks quite well since I practiced a few times and didn't feel much, they have a good grip and slide well on the board. I've been rolling them for two weeks now, the material is starting to thin out but there is no sign of tearing yet. They are also generally easy to wear as they are soft and comfortable. There was some irritation on the left boot for the first week but no problems since. (I learned handrails with them)
