- 5 stars - Love my new skates!

Review Date 2009-09-16 - Helpfulvotes 13 - Unhelpfulvotes 1 - Verfied Buyer? Yes -

I love my new skates. The doctor told me it was time to start exercising, I don't like to exercise but I love to skate. Since the closest rollar rink is an hour away I thought I would try to find something that I could use outside that was like "the old skates" I was use too. I was happpy to find skates.com and the selection of traditional but sporty rollar skates. I have been using my skates to exercise but it doesn't seem like exercise at all, it's a blast. I love the purple wheels and shoe laces, add some disco on the ipod and you are off to a great start. The neighbors might think I'm a little nutty, a 40 year old woman rollar skating in the middle of the corn field does look out of place but who cares, I'm exercising and having a ball, my legs, thighs and butt are tighter and I've lost over 10 pounds so far so thankyou skates.com, I will be purchasing some indoor skates to use in the winter. God bless!

- 4 stars - An overall great outdoor skate.

Super fast, fantastic for street skating. They handle sidewalk cracks, mangled asphalt, pebbles, and the like with ease. The boot takes some breaking in, though. I used a hairdryer to soften it up a bit, but the tongue still digs into my shin.

- 4 stars - Awesome skates

My husband just bought these skates for me because I wanted to use outside roller skating to get in shape. I have only had one chance to try the skates because we are having bitter cold weather here at this time, but I find these skates to be much like the ones I used when I was young. They are made very good, all though they are heavy. The fit is very snug, the boot is very stiff, so the break in will be a challenge! Over all I think these are good skates and I think I am going to be very happy with them once they are broken in!

These are great !! Totally recommend to anyone wanting that "freedom" experience. They do take some time to break in, but I truly love them and would order the same ones exactly again. Also, when I called because I had questions before I ordered - the staff was excellent and very knowledgeable. Wonderful, thank you.

- 3 stars - Having fun and getting some exercise

Sale person was very helpful in helping me choose my skates and skate size. I am not able to wear Roller blades due to feet cramping so I chose to go with the roller skates. I do have a hard time with going over bumpy black top and pebbles. Is there a wheel that would work better outside than what I purchased. With this said I have really enjoyed my skates just want to get the most out of them.

They are really built to last because I have given them some hard wear and tear but they are still fine.

- 5 stars - Very Good Skate for Street Skating

Review Date 2011-12-07 - Helpfulvotes 0 - Unhelpfulvotes 0 - Verfied Buyer? Yes -

I used to skate a lot as a kid (roller rink and outside). As an adult I became a little weary of inline skates, just wanted something to tool around our downtown in after business hours. This particular setup is good for outside streets and sidewalks. Yes the boots are stiff at first but they wear in after a week or so. Wheels are soft enough to roll over rocks and get decent traction on roads. Being quads they are almost intuitive for most Gen-X'ers like myself. Basically they feel like what we grew up skating in, only smoother and better. If you are like me and wanting something simple and fun to skate in outside, these are a safe bet. On a side note, I was very surprised at the high quality of the boot, trucks, bearings, wheels and stoppers. I also got the heel stopper for an additional feeling of safety (being a 40-something I tend to be quite careful). Bottom line: for skating on streets, sidewalks and for general purpose skating around, these are VERY good skates. If you want fast (!!) rolling, just upgrade the bearings to Bones ceramics and you'll be good to go.
