I'm extremely pleased with these Rollerblades. I play pick-up hockey every weekend and have been using the same set of skates for well over 15 years (being held together in spots with duct tape). While I'd attempted to replace them several times, no other skate provided the solid boot and full ankle support as that of my original Rollerblade brand. These skates fit the bill perfectly and after several weekends of use I can report no discomfort whatsoever. The included laces seem largely ornamental as they provide no true support or closure as the adjustable buckles do the required job. A minor complaint, obviously, and that should not deter you from giving them a go!

I recently bought skates and roller blades for my kids. As I was teaching them how to do it I remember how much I loved to skate as a kid. I'm 35 and "curvy" and didn't think my ankles could handle roller blades. Plus I love the retro look of these skates. They're exactly like the ones I had as a kid. The only difference is the color of the wheels. These ones are a pale, rosy pink - not the hot, orangy pink in one of the pictures. Also, some pictures show the heel as black, but mine came in the light brown.

I wear a size 9 shoe and ordered an 8 based on the other reviews. I'm glad I did because the 8s are just about perfect, if not still a little big. The wheels don't spin as easily as I remember from 25 years ago which is a good thing for someone like me who wants to take things slow.

The construction is quite sturdy. I was a little concerned about how well they could handle my "curves", but I felt very comfortable on them. I am thrilled with my purchase and plan on spending lots of time skating with the kids both outside around our apartment complex and at the rink once I get used to being that mobile again.

The break runs out SO FAST. Other than that, the rollerblades work exactly as I had hoped. They've held up for about a year now and don't seem to need anything other than typical maintenance.

Got these skates for my 7 year old son for Christmas.  He loves them!  I'm only letting him use them in the roller-rink, as the wheels feel like they will wear out quickly on the rough street asphalt.  He is a lot more confident and fast with these skates than the ones we had rented at the roller-rink.  Also, no rubbing sores on his feet with these skates.  Hopefully he does not grow out of them too quickly.

These are very comfortable and fast rollerblades.  The larger wheels take some getting used to as far as turning but after a few days I was ok.  These replaced my rollerblades from the early 90's and I'm very happy with the quality.  I am not an expert rollerblader so the speed was scary at first but it didn't take long to adjust.  Try on flat surface first.

They're awesome! I had problem to find skates which will not hurt me. These are perfect. My feet don't get hurt even I skate for hours. I really love them and obviously the skating too :D

The quality of these is much, much greater than the all-steel rollers they replaced.  My garage door now operates significantly more smoothly and quietly than it did before.  Every part in the door assembly is stressed less in its operation as a result.  I highly recommend them.

Put theses in my circa 1979 roller skates and breathed new life into them.  They  are quality skates and had great bearings at the time but after sitting on a shelf for the past 10 years they were in need of some new bearings. I am very happy with these. They are smooth as butter and roll like a dream. if you have an older pair or need bearings these are an inexpensive upgrade that will make a big difference.

After studying the specs of several quality inline skates, I determined that this was the skate that would be best for me. I like the 90mm wheels as I skate on roads that are not always very smooth. They have a sharp edge for turning and pushing through the skating stroke. They are completely comfortable. They feel very stable. They are pretty true to size. I have an older pair of Tecnica skates that were top of the line. The Activas match the quality and fit of the Tecnicas especially in the vibration absorption. These are great skates. I really like them.

They are fast.  You can fly with these babies, easily passing some of those slacker bikers if you so choose.  It takes a bit of getting used to because they take a lot longer to slow down compared to stock blades, but once you get the hang of them they are reasonably responsive.

I roller blade on a bike trail that is interupted fairly often by perpendicular roads every mile or so.  I would have a much harder time recommending these for denser urban areas because it's easier to get roller blades with smaller wheels up to speed faster and you can stop much faster on the smaller wheels as well. Last but certainly not least, it's easier to find good smaller wheeled blades for much cheaper.

However, if you are using these roller blades for going long distances with long uninterupted stretches to take full advantage of the speed and stability that comes with the larger wheels, I definitely recommend these.

Lastly, after reading reviews for these roller blades on this site, I decided to go a half size smaller because my size wasn't in stock, DON'T!  The blades two straps can be adjusted so that they become remarkably tight, and your feet will be most grateful as they expand from the heat and impact with the road after several miles of roller blading.  That's my only problem with these blades and it isn't even their fault really, but it doesn't remove the fact that my feet feel cramped in these things and are thus more uncomfortable than my previous roller blades.

I bought these for my 9 year old after he really enjoyed a skating rink birthday party where we rented roller blades. I myself used to rollerblade a lot and know the difference it make having good equipment, after looking these over and my son using them about three times now I am pretty impressed! The lace / Velcro / ratchet clamp style fastening system works very well to keep his feet comfortable yet secure in the boot.  The blades roll very well with the upgraded bearings so he doesn't have to work hard just to roll. I was skeptical of the adjustable shoe size feature of this skate but after looking at it and adjusting it for my son I'm pretty impressed. It has a flip lever montes flush on the back of th boot that you flip out and trust to adjust in or out as needed, a worm drive screw system pushes or pulls the toe end to size and there is a size indicator near the toe to help indicate about what size it is adjusted to! My son imediatlty wanted to remove the brake pad to be like dads skates. I was glad to see these boots come with an extra wheel axle screw / nut setup to use if the brake pad is removed. I'm very impressed with these skates for kids that are ready for a step up in roller blading fun!

I am loving my new skates.  A friend invited me to go to adult night skating as part of her fitness program.  I loved skating as a kid and I hadn't been in over 30 years.  I really enjoyed myself, but the rink rental skates were just awful.  I immediately began shopping to get my own pair.  These are perfect for me, they fit well, they roll well, and the price was reasonable.  I wish the boot was a little lower or the material softer... but hey, if I end up going often, I have something to look forward to investing in.  If you enjoy skating for fitness/fun, or just want a pair to tootle around in along side your kids, then these are great for you too.

My six year old daughter LOVES these blades. I have a pair of original rollerblades that have withstood a lot of wear and tear over the years, and know a quality skate when I see it. Although I don't anticipate my daughter shredding at the skate park any time soon, I do know that they will last until she outgrows them. Also, she's picky when shoes don't fit, and as a size 12, they fit her wonderfully. No complaints at all. Great product.

Holy cow these bad boys grip!!!!! I was using the wheels that came with my K2's and they were slick and bumpy. I  changed them out when someone recommended them and I could not have been happier. I can cut faster, skate longer, and the ride is sooooooo smooth. I have had them a couple of weeks and hardly any sign of wear. I will definitely be buying some more if I ever need them again!

After logs of internet research I bought these for price. I'm 50 male tall and heavy ish 240
I skate with my daughter at indoor rinks and found the rental skates to be horrible
not knowing much about skating or its equipment my first impression of these were good
my box was labeled USA size 11 and fit exactly perfect. I'm 10 1/2 to 11 size
closer examination revealed what I thought the wheels were too soft for indoors on wood
and I was right. The soft grooved tires seemed to be too unforgiving on the smooth indoor
so I will be replacing these wheels soon with harder like 95a grip wheels
the 7 bearings are just fine and don't see what all the fuss is about
from my research on the net almost globally the claims of 9 bearings on these skates must be
a manufacturer typo error, the box is clearly marked 7 even on pictures of advertisements
the wheels must be better outdoors but I don't plan to skate on the pavement so I'll probably
sell  them or give them away
it seems the laces were hard to pull tight and I use a hockey skate lace hook I had but they
 seem to be getting easier to pull the more I use them
OVERALL. after using them for 3 hours straight
for the price they can't be beat

When I purchased these I had misgivings, they are a little larger than what I am accustomed to in my precision work, and a little pricier. But I thought I'd give them a try and I'm glad I did! The blade is just as sharp and precise as any of the smaller cutters I've used, and I quickly got used to the larger size because they are so well balanced and comfortable in my hand. I just ordered another pair.

I bought these skates few months ago for a real bargain price of some $100 bucks and have been using those with no complaints whatsoever. Like the shoe grip, holds your ankles secured, straight and in place. 110 mm wheels make your ride faster and smoother. I used to be a competitive skater but now do it only as an exercise. Would definitely recommend these skates.
