Great product

It's good but not that sterdy

Great skates for rink skating, this is the second pair I've bought. My first pair lasted four years, and even survived a few bouts of outdoor skating.If you're looking for skates that roll, are lightweight, and aren't gonna get all rickety on you, these are them. They are well constructed and durable and the wheels are good for indoors. Everything is straight and tight on arrival. These skates work for spins/bunny hops but they are NOT trick skates. These are for no-frills skaters, the minimal amount you can achieve with the most enjoyment, for learners and casual skaters.CONS: The brakes (toe stops) are very hard, maybe good for outdoors on asphalt but not grippy enough for indoors, so plan on replacing them with other (bolt on) toe stops. The bearings aren't awful, but as a general rule they should be replaced with something else no matter what wheels you're on. If you want to skate outside, you will want softer/larger wheels. I have been able to skate outside on what they come with, but the cracks and textures will really mess you up.GENERAL STARTERS RULES:With every new pair of skates (and preferably before you put them on every time) adjustments need to be made. Listen very carefully: NEED. You need to tighten everything down firmly before you get started. Dont tighten the ones with the rubber cushions that attach to the skates much, if you tighten it much more then you'll ruin the cushion. Once the wheels and toe stop and the little nuts on the boot are tight, you want to go to each wheel and loosen it a quarter turn (90°) or less and spin the wheel, once the wheel spins freely and sustains for a little bit then its loose enough. If your wheel slides/rattles on the pole holding it (any more than just a tiny tiny bit of wiggle room) then you need to tighten it down all the way and start again.

I bought these so I had decent skates when I take my daughter. I gave these 5 stars bc for the price they’re great. You’re not getting $3-400 skates but they’re great for the rink. I got mine super cheap bc they were an Amazon and they paid for themselves with 8 trips to the rink.

These worked out good for a low price speed skate if you are getting back into skating

The negative comments about the wheels are a serious understatement. I saw them when ordering but it seemed like a bit of an exaggeration. These wheels are not just cheap as rhey infered but seriously unsafe! For context, I am not a small or light person. I am 6' 2" and 275 lb. I got these because they are made for grown adult men which is not to easy to find in my size, especially afforable. I was not on a slick surface but the concrete sidewalk outside my office when I tried these. There were no cracks or debis either so I felt it was a perfect place to try them on. I planned to go the approx. Mile to my Boston through a quite residential area to test them. I got to the point I was on my feet and making an attempt to move foreward juts slightly. Getitng to my feet already felt off but I hod np time to do anything about it as pushing a little pressure on my right foot caused both to immediatly slip out form under me. These wheels are so smooth and slick out of the box that there is no way to get any traction whatsoever. I couldn't even get up to walk it over to the bench, now a coupke feet away as I had nothing to pull myself up on and rhe wheel just kept rolling freely. The brakes are so far up that they are completely useless as well so there is nothing you can do. I am very lucky I only wound up shaping my shin where it was uncovered and lightly sprianing my right arm/wrist where I felt on it. If I had been at a risk I am certian I would ahve been in the hospital and possibly sent others there by accident as well. I will come back and potentially redo this review once I get new wheels bit I feel a warning really needs to be put out so others don't make this mistake! The wheels These skates come with are NOT SAFE! DO NOT USE THESE SKATES WITH THE WHEELS THAT COME WITH THEM! They are EXTREMLY poorly designed to the point it seems negligent. They doo have grooves on them but they go the direction the wheel turns and are very shallow as to only make them more resistant to friction. I am honestly shocked they are still allowed to sell these as is and haven't have a serious lawsuit already. I am especially let down as I have been waiting to get a new pair for myself for some time. I was really looking foreward to skating to my bus but instead embarrassed myself in front of my workplace security with a miserable fall, had to awkwardly take them off as fast as I could on the curve of rhe parking lot since I couldn't even stand bakc up without risk and had to run while injure, carrying the things jammed in the bag awkwardly to barely make my ride. A very bad experience that couldn't have been even worse. I won't say not to buy these buy I will say to forget these wheels! They are conplete garbage and a serious potential liabilty to the health of anyone who uses them. Again, just appear to have Syrians and scrapes this time but it was clearly the fault of the wheels and could have easily been worse! Hopefully this store corrects this! Also, please spread the word with your own experiences and be fully honest! I saw the other bad reviews about these but none that warned me how they were a severe health risk! Had I known, I would not have ordered these! I now have to buy new wheels and wait for them to arrive on top of everything else which may make them more costly than alternate options again. Very bad experience so far. They are cheap, fine. Not an excuse for giving a dnagerous product though. Especially one without sufficient warning.

These have the worst smell to them. They almost smell like a dirty cat litter box!
