Review on ๐Ÿ๏ธ Cruze XR Hightop Roller Derby Skates for Men: Superior Performance on Wheels by Oliver Phelps

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Fair price for decent quality, good options for a beginner skater

So far so good. My son has started skateboarding and wants to switch to figure skating. I'm hesitant to buy $200 skates any time soon, but he had savings so we settled on these. He feels comfortable in them and they are true to size. He was glad he could afford it on his own and it makes him more responsible to choose to skate :) I think it's fair to say you get what you pay for. 1) The tabs are not level. (shorter on right foot) 2) the material of the upper is not very flexible (so wear double socks when walking in or else you'll get blisters) 3) the laces are SUPER long (skate boots help) 4) he complained that the brake is too low to the ground BUT that's because he's only ever used rental skates with very worn brakes. Overall performance is good and the skates seem durable for our needs.

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • Concise instructions
