First, I want to say how FAST these shipped out to me! They came in under 48 hours when they weren't expected to arrive for a week! So, hats off to the seller! Secondly, they feel great. Extremely comfortable. I wear a women's size 9/9.5 and ordered a size 8 in these skates. Perfect size. I do have slimmer, arched feet. They look just as pictured and skate great! Everything feels and looks well-made. I saw these suggested as reliable skates on the rollerskating subreddit.

Overall: This is about as inexpensive as you want to go with roller skates. They are sized up Candi girl Carlins, and both are decently built. Suede is a great material for skates, it gets soft and scuffs rather than scratch and wear through. Aluminum plates are usually at least double this price. I don't park skate [so can't comment there], but I believe these are a good choice for beginners in the rink or on reasonably manicured trails.Considerations: They come very stiff, but the suede breaks in beautifully. One of the trucks on the pair I was sent had some overcasting material on one of the axles. The bearings were just forced on there, so I had to pry them off [with much effort] and then sand down the excess to make it work as intended. This material was like a flashing, and didn't look like it was part of the structure. I have no worries about it after dealing with it, see the blue arrow. After a dozen or so 3 hour sessions the heel seam is coming apart, but it appears to be cosmetic and the actual fastening of boot to truck is in the sole and still sound.On fit: True to shoe size is only true because shoe sizes vary so wildly. I wear 10W in Moabs but 9.5 in summer combat boots, and the 10 is the right size, with caveats that it must stretch over time to be comfortable. Skates are supposed to be snug like socks, toes brushing the ends. I tried some retail Roller Derby 7-10 size adjustable skates, and they did not fit adjusted all the way up. Size 11 in these felt right, but was actually too large. Size 10 is much better, in these skates.Other thoughts: The wheels it comes with are fine and very soft [considered outdoor wheels at 82a durometer, but I am a baby and like soft wheels indoors as well], the bearings get the job done. I have changed them both out for different ones, no problems.

I like the skates but there is nowhere on the page that says these are used. The box I received was incredibly beaten up, torn, and taped, and the wheels and brakes were already scuffed. Very obvious that they were already used, but that is nowhere to be seen on the page until I look at the invoice. Maybe make that more clear to customers who are looking to buy NEW. Overall, i tweaked them and cleaned them up and they are comfortable and ride well.

These skates are dreamy and glide so nice -🖤The ‘tongue’ is heavily padded which I’m not a big fan of - feels a little claustrophobic , but might be good for those of you who need some support in that area. I have thick legs so I don’t need it but, it’s notable how much padding there is!They are a very nice black not dull.I bought these with a discount claimthat they had a damaged box (but did not say used) , and although the use was most likely not a lot the wheels were cloudy and worn a bit and I believe that should have been included in the notes. I would also like to say I wear a woman’s 8 and these were a seven in men’s .. they are a little tight but I am sure with some time they will not always be.A nice for the price skate!

If you are thinking of getting them I definitely recommend but put in mind if you are ordering the Blake skates it’s men sizing so it was big on me also the boot is not as stiff as some people say it is so I say go for it !

The bot sends to be made of pretty low quality suede and is extremely stiff. The tongue feels like better leather. Lots of ankle support. Hard on the bottoms of my feet and pretty boxy in the toe area. Uncomfortable under the balls of my feet after a couple hours on them. Maybe new insoles would help. The ‘suede’ is so hard at the toe that I can’t lace it tight enough to hug my toes from the top. Maybe over time this will break in. Sizing in terms of length is perfect, the toe box is just really spacious vertically.Easy to adjust trucks and wheels. Toe stop is very grippy. Love the look of the black. Overall, a great skate for the money. I’m pleased.
