I've been skating in them a lot since I got them and REALLY love them! Didn't have a break in period either! Was able to get them tight enough with only 1 pair of socks as well, harder with other skates.

I play roller derby and use these skates almost on a daily basis. The boots are extremely comfortable and well fitting with no break in time. The red Tuner wheels are a bit slippery for polished concrete surfaces. To establish a little extra grip without loss of speed, I use outdoor grippy wheels for the inside (pusher) wheels of both skates with the red Tuners on the outside. The standard bearings shipped in these skates leave a bit to be desired. I upgraded to a skate rated bearing and experienced much improved speed and coasting. Definitely expect to upgrade the bearings if you are looking to purchase these for a competitive sport. I also upgraded the foot inserts to a more supportive, sport-use rated insert as the stock inserts are nothing more than 1/8" thick flat felt pads. Overall, great skates at a decent price with excellent, made in the USA, quality.

I'm a Derby Girl. I love the skates- super comfortable. I wear an 8 street shoe and despite Skates.com telling me to only go down 1 size, a Riedell rep told me to go down 1.5. I ordered a 6.5 which fit perfect. Laces go right down to the toe, so you will need a toe cap or duct tape. Padding in the tongue is a great feature. My big issue is that these are HEAVY! For aluminum plates, these are bears. I think the ship weight is 10lbs on them. Also, the stock wheels (92)are a bit soft for derby. I probably should have upped them to 95/96. I wish the toe guards were offered in either red or black. I didn't buy them from here because they were blue.

These skates are super comfortable and not to heavy considering the plates. The padding on the tongue makes it so much more comfortable than most. I bought these about 2 months after I started skating in R3s and these are SOOO Much better.

- 5 stars - Riedell Skates

Review Date 2011-04-29 - Helpfulvotes 0 - Unhelpfulvotes 0 - Verfied Buyer? Yes -

I use the skates for indoor skating; however, I do plan to switch out the wheels for outdoor as well. The skates are very comfortable and a size smaller than one's shoe size for a woman is perfect. I went on line and found a variety of lacing options. The 'zipper lacing' worked well with the extra holes toward the toe of the shoe. The skates are easy to maneuver in. Even though I wanted the skates, I was very apprehensive about whether they would be right for me as a person over 60. I tried them out as soon as I got them and I wouldn't trade them for any other pair! [...]
