I decided to try roller blading and decided to purchase this pair.
Since it's my first pair, i didn't really know what to expect and I was disappointed when i saw the box.
My first impression was 'Wow! these are freaking huge!' and yes, they are very big. All the padding combined with the plastic exoskeleton really do make these look like you ordered the wrong size.
I really like the design, it looks cool and is easy to put on or off. The inner-lining is very thick and comfortable and makes your feet feel safe.
The rubber wheels are really nice as they don't make a horrible sound as you go along like plastic or break like plastic although they do wear out faster.
I really hate the fact that there is only one break, I know this is the same as most other skates but when i try to stop, the non-break-foot keeps going and makes me start moving again.
Overall, i'd say that these are great value for money, they have a cool and comfortable design that you can't help but love.
I really don't recommend these to anyone that does competitive sports as just generally roller blading will inevitably result in broken bones and many other injuries,
But if you're looking for something fun to do and are willing to make sacrifices, I'd say buy these and give it a try! I recommend pads also to minimize damage although don't expect 100% protection.
If blading is something you want to do, i recommend this pair to any beginner.
