I REALLY like these skates! They are super comfy, smooth, and fast! I have not exp'd any problems with blisters, although, the skin on my pushing foot has gotten a little worn. ***NOTE*** needed major adjustments when they first arrived!! Plates were centered in boot instead of being set back to the heal. Also trucks were crooked. Caused a lot of discomfort in the beginning. But now they rock!!

I am 36 years old and have skated for fun and fitness since I was a kid, indoor and outdoor. Bought a pair of these for me and my wife. Very comfortable and extra padded boots, but they will make your feet sweat if you skate for more than an hour or so. (Most leather boots do unless there are many air vents.) I also really like the retro racing strips on the sides and they way they actually lace up. Wheels are very grippy and fast. Bearings are medium grade but will more than do the job. Highly recommend these skates. My wife and I have been very pleased with the quality and our purchase thus far...

I JUST ORDERED MY SKATES. I DID A LOT OF RESEARCH ON THEM AND IT SAY THAT THEY ARE SOME GOOD SKATES BUT, THERE HIGH PRICE.

These are great beginner skates but not for an experienced skater. I get a blister from these every time I use them of the bottom front of my foot. They make your feet sweat bad. Not a good Riedell boot. After a couple of hours they become uncomfortable. If you have ever speed skated or plan to do not buy these. Everything else is ok for the price you pay.

this is a great skate for MEDIUM 2 ADVANCED rexers.only one problem your gunna have 2 buy a toe gaurd if you want 2 use toe stops. if you hockey stop these wheels are for you.the barings are realy fast.i fell the second i steped on the floor cause these are FAST!! the price should be alot more cause these skates rule!!
