I bought these for my son. An upgrade from his first pair of Pacers. He only rec skates at school and occasionally we drive 2 hrs. south to our nearest rink but he LOVES these skates. Right out of the box they are comfortable with very little break in. Quick Abec-5's let him go fast but not too fast. Great skate at a great price!

I bought these skates in 2008 when I started roller derby. Almost five years later, I still practice three times a week and play in these same skates. I thought breaking these in would suck, but I never got one blister. I did get different wheels and bearings and changed the toe stop out for the gumballs, but everything else is holding up quite well. I definitely got my money worth out of these. I suppose it is time to upgrade but old habits are hard to break. :) I am a creature of habit.

these were my first pair of skates but i had the white boot and the pink radar wheels . ive been skating on them for 2 years , and they are now just starting to wear out . but the bareings shot in july of 2011 . the wheels i only used for a few months then, i repaced with them with heartless wheels. i love these skates but, its time to upgrade to vanillas <3

I bought these skates at a discount so they were even cheaper than this. I know now that I got what I paid for mostly. They are great for occasional skating that isn't rough but the wheels wear out quickly and the ankles rub if you don't have high enough socks. After about 6 months of rough riding, the soles started tearing out and they became uncomfortable.

I bought these sk8s about 3 years ago. The Are stiil comfortable even though I skate Every Friday. After 2 years I had to buy new bearings but still, the wheels still have grip and the shoe is starting to get tore up but that normal wear in tear. I high recommend these sk8s to beginner and advanced sk8ers.
