Nice job RD!
Lemme preface this with the fact that it’s still within the first few days wearing these but I gotta say I’m actually super impressed with what you’re getting for the money. They fit perfectly, I’m a size 8 1/2 -9 & I got these in a size 7, best advice on skate sizing I ever got was get whatever size you wear in men’s vans! Initial thoughts are oooh pretty! Black on black on black is right up my alley so I’m excited about that, I chose to try these first over Moxi Panthers & I’m actually glad I did, aesthetically these are more my style and these are debatably comparable. I do wish these weren’t so stiff... however they ARE suede so I know they’ll form to my feet over time, my right foot is also a tiiiny bit wider than my left and I can definitely feel it, but again - I’m still breaking them in & I’m confident they’ll be great in a week or two once Ive put some hours on em. But do be prepared for break in time cause it’s gonna be rough til then haha. They come with outdoor wheels already on them which is lovely for most of us, however I still put my Moxi Gummis on cause Im used to them and love them. I changed the laces, Derby Laces are a wee stiffer & slightly waxed so they don’t slide around when I’m tryna tighten them etc like the stock ones were doing. The tongue stabilizer is something I know a LOT of us will appreciate after skating boots without one! The toe stop is low key annoying af and my only real complaint but I can deal with it, if they’d put an adjustable one on these they’d be at 100% for the money imho. But I’m confused as to why they can’t just be normal bolt on if they can’t spoil us adjustable??? Whatev tho I’ll live lol The metal plates are surprisingly light - and also appreciated after skating on heavy metal plates or nylons for ages - and the skates together only weigh like 8 lbs. The metal trucks are nice & the cushions are super squishy I actually had to tighten my trucks personally when it’s usually the opposite right out the box. All in all I’m really really pleased with these skates hitting the market cause finding affordable options that aren’t total garbage is H A R D. Hmu on IG if you have any questions I also make toe caps :) @_T_H_O_T_W_H_E_E_L_S_ or @dannieight

Good fit for a beginner like me.
I'm 53 and this is the first pair of skates I've owned. I am learning and these are a great pair of skates to start with. So far do good! Super fast shipping and payment through Amazon was very convenient!

Great Skates
These skates are super cute and pretty comfy! The boot is stiff but I like that because it feels like it’s really supporting my ankles. Shipping was super fast!
