Riedell 111 Angel Indoor Roller Skates

I'm 6'3", average build, about 175lbs and wear a size 12 in shoes. First of all, if you enjoy skating and typically use the rental skates, I suggest getting your own pair. A good pair of skates makes all the difference in the experience in my opinion. These skates are fantastic for indoor and for those seeking to groove or dance a bit. I appreciate the grip that the wheels provide; it makes feel more confident and in control, especially around corners. I also like the pivot action of the truck, you really can get into your moves. As one mentions, the boot is somewhat stiff and hits above my ankle about 4.5 inches. I feel that they will be more comfortable after being broken in. I also do not lace them all the way to the top to give my leg more room for squatting etc. Otherwise, the fit is just right shoe wise and I have had no blisters or other feet issues after 2-3 hrs of continuous skating; I also use a performance sock. I do not have anything to compare to other than rental skates; however, I am completely satisfied with the Ridell Angel brand so far. The only change would be that I might make is choosing a boot that does not come up the leg as much.

The best quality skates!

shipping was prompt and product was just as described. price was fair also. will definitely buy again from this site.

I am a women's 9.5. I have a pair of Chicago Skates , men's Black, in a 8. They are too big. So, I ordered a 7 in black in these Riedell's. They were too tight. Sent them back and got an 8. They are perfect! I had to switch out the wheels to outdoor wheels though. These Medallion wheels were too sticky and I couldn't transition very well. Also, the left boot squeak's. I'll keep an eye on it. Maybe it just needs to be broken in. And even though I tightened the trucks, wheels and toe stop, the left toe stop fell off while breaking today, abs scuffed the boot up. But, the boy is comfortable. Overall, it's a nice pair of skates.

I ordered these for my granddaughter for her birthday. She's 15 wears a 7.5 shoe. After reading reviews and comparing size chart, I ordered a white size 7 with the purple wheels. She said they fit perfectly and are so pretty. Whew what a relief! You know how picky teens can be. I'm a veteran skater. I shopped around and found RSN. The quality of the boot and the wheels are on point. She said they were really comfortable. Overall, it's a well made skate. I plan to get some new wheels from RSN for my skates. Oh and the delivery was super fast.

It’s been a little over 24 years since I’ve put I put on a pair of skates, let alone purchased a pair. I was a little hesitant in my decision to buy skates online but now a days, that seems to be the only option. My skates arrived in a few days from my purchase date (which was awesome!) and they were a perfect fit. I haven’t had the opportunity to test them out but I’m sure they will perform well enough for me to get my legs back lol.

best bang for your buck 'beginner' rollerskates ! very very nice skate, gorgeous skate ! love it especially because it's a vegan boot, so it didn't take an animals soul away for me to skate ! this is the model comparable to the sure grip fame but, imho it's better due to the better bearings and adjustable/removable plate just to name a few things ! feels good to ride with riedell ! and further more roller skate nation is a top shelf company, shipping experience was imperial !

Got a pair for my girlfriend, she has been skating on rentals at the rink for about 6 months. I was amazed at the great fit. She's wear a shoe size 9 she's 5'7" and 115lbs for reference. I ordered the 9 in white and to my surprise, they fit comfortably even have room for a thicker sock. We went to the rink and after a few laps we made small adjustments to the wheels and the plates. My girlfriend loves them now. We will upgrade wheels eventually as she improves her skating. There is a wheel and plate tool included with the skates that makes it easy for adjustments on the go.

Got the white boots and as soon as I opened the box I was in love with them. They fit true to womens sizes. I got the clear red wheels and they look great with the white boots but I prefer a wider wheel made of a different material. Will be replacing them with sonar demon.
