I just got these skates about a month ago now and ive skated in them about 5 times now. These skates are great:) When i first got them i thought the flap went to the side but both of the sides go forward which i thought was really cool. The first time i went to skate in them i thought i would get blisters on my ankels and on the bottom of my feet,but it turns out you have to skate for a long long time to get u ankel to turn red even which i thought was nice where other new skates you get a blister when you first skate in them. The wheels they are good but itits onl been about a month from i got them so they still have alot of grip but u can tell where they are starting to get worn down a bit see im a speed skater and a go skating every weekend with my friends. The bearings, they surely arnt the best in the world to me bone swiss is my #1 bearings but if you dont really care about bearings then they are good for you they are smooth and quit but they are really slow. When i speed skate i usually just speed skate but also ill do some tricks thats where i like to put dance plugs into them so i have alot more room and when you go to try to stop using them the floor doesnt hit ur boot and mess the fron end of your skates up. Leater on in maybe a year or so i will comment again on how they are doing. This was a very good purchase and they are very professional and comfortable to where they feel like a regular street shoe. The cost of these are very very good for how they perfore:) I hope i helped you out for if you are buying them for your soon or yourself these are great and i enjoy mine alot:)

got the skates really nice smooth durable. ppl ask me where i got the everytime fast shipping BUT...fast but not fast enough for me so instead of buyin new bearings all i did was take the red cover off (keep it off) and spay it with lub. now there amazingly fast zoom past everyone can compare to my old vanilla's going to stick with this for a long time :D

these skates r so comfy i turn heads every time i bring them to the rink i love them. they come almost broke in and the boot is awesome best skate ever. i had vanilla skates and they were no match to this skate. they r very cheap to the tony zane skates or dimond walker skates and they r better to Buy these skates. they r all aroung the perfect skate.

these have got to be the most comfortable skates i have ever put on the only thing i have changed so far is the bearings everything else is great

i ordered these skates and they`re so comfy when u ride in them its so smooths i replaced the wheels with sure-grip twisters and the boot is amazing plus its hard to find boots with lace covers lately my recent skates were riedell storms skates and those were good but these are better buy these skates!! :-] awsomely, amir w.
