Overall these are great skates, the good definitely outweighs the bad! I have owned these for about a year, and they have worked great for me! I've skated for many years now, mostly indoors, but I wanted something I could skate on outside. I didn't want to use my expensive rink skates outside for obvious reasons, but also didn't want to fork up $300 for a pair of moxies. These were the perfect solution! I can skate comfortably on them for 2 hours, or over depending on the day. Comfort is gonna vary per person though. I can also be hard on skates, and these have held up to my constant abuse! Keep in mind lighter colors will get dirty quickly, if that's an issue for you get the dark blue, or pink. I chose the mint ones, and they got dirty very quickly, doesn't really bother me, but just a heads up. I would recommend these to anyone just getting into skating, they have great ankle support which is very important when starting out! You can also take them inside, I see these skates on others at the rink all the time, they work, and look great! Overall these skates are reliable, durable, and will get you to where you want to go. They are cute, but keep in mind they are not the most comfortable skate out there! If you plan on skating outside a lot I'd say pay the extra money, and invest in a pair of moxies, or boardwalks. But for the price, these are gonna be your best bet! Onto the technical stuff! The boot itself is kind of stiff, and there is a lot of extra room in the toe area, but overall I say they fit nicely. The tounge is pretty flimsy, which can be uncomfortable, but not a dealbreaker. The plate is on the heavier side, but is also durable! I haven't had any issues with the trucks, but keep in mind they don't come with a skate tool, if you don't have one, I'd recommend buying one, you'll want to adjust the trucks and wheels to your preference. The wheels are big and gummy, great for the outdoors! They roll smoothly, and go over rough terrain nicely. Lastly these do come with bolted on toe stops, so they can't be adjusted up and down, which is a bummer, I prefer my toe stops to be a bit shorter, but also not a deal breaker, just a personal preference. I hope this review helps ya out, Happy skating!!
