Roller Derby EliteRoller Derby Glidr Sneaker Skate White/Black Size Mens6/Womens7

I haven't skated in 20 years, so I would consider myself an intermediate beginner... definitely not my first time on skates. I didn't want the stiff support of traditional boot skates and I wanted to feel a bit more free so I can try out some flow, jam, and dance skating, so I decided on these Roller Derby Glidr Elite sneaker skates to get back into it. I had also considered Sure Grip Rock and Reidell low top outdoor skates, and even VNLA Juniors. I liked the style and wheel type of these Glidr better, plus they look awesome, like chunky high top shoes, at less than half the price. I am SOOO glad I got these! They were exactly what I was hoping for. The skates were well packed and come in a nice box. Right when I put them on, they felt perfect! Very padded and just stiff enough for skates, but very comfortable like shoes. I wear a men's 10 in shoes and that's what I ordered. They fit just like all my other shoes, just perfect! Didn't have to size up or down. They felt nice right away with no break in required. I skated for almost an hour the first time putting them on, with no pain or issues. I am blown away by the quality of the build overall! The boot is super nice, and the soles are dedicated skate platforms that look like regular shoes. The wheels and bearings are SUPER nice quality. The wheels are super smooth and well made. The 83a compound actually felt perfect on the smooth floor and also on rough surfaces like at the park, so they are a true hybrid wheel. Also, the truck bushings actually flex and you can steer the trucks. The bearings are really precise and good quality control is there. They all spin freely and consistently, and they even put in the nice touch of installing full speed rings (spacers / washers) on both side of the wheels to protect the bearings and widen the stance. I wasn't sure how I was going to like the oversize diameter wheels (70mm), but they don't feel too tall, and they roll over everything!! So I love them. The plates are nice and solid, stiff, and evenly placed. Both skates roll the same way. Lastly but not least, the toe stops are super amazing!!. They are actually high quality soft rubber, not even urethane. Fully adjustable and they feel great. Removable for jam plugs. They stop on all surfaces, but are small enough to spin on to do turns, etc.I love these skates! Couldn't be happier for the price point too! Don't get these if you need hard ankle support like boots or inline skates. These might not be perfect for a beginner because they are flat heel sneakers, but I never once felt like I was going to fall backwards or break my ankle. However, my previous experience may be affecting this. I would definitely try other Roller Derby products after seeing how perfect these are :) I included photos showing the wheel spacers and bearings, and trucks etc.

Nice! I haven’t been on skates in a long time! So I consider myself a beginner all over again. These are really nice. I planned ahead and bought team Fomo wheels that are indoor/outdoor wheels. I switched them right away. The stock wheels are nice but I wanted something with a smaller diameter. Anyway. The upper(boot/shoe) is really nice and sturdier than I thought. If you’re looking for more support, remember this is a sneaker not a boot. But for me it works fine. Sizing was spot on. I wear a 8-8.5 and sometimes a 9. They don’t come in half sizes but they are men’s sizes. I went with the men’s 7/women’s 8, and they fit perfect. I like my shoes snug, because shoes stretch. Even though they are snug, my toe can move and none of my toes are crunched or forced. I plan on changing out the bearings, but the stock ones are good too. It’s mostly preference. It’s a perfect skate for someone who wants to skate in a sneaker instead of a boot, and not break the bank for a custom sneaker skate. I do plan on building my own, but I wanted to see if I am committed enough to want to do that. I think that is also why I’m glad these weren’t so expensive and actually good roller skates. Don’t sleep on RollerDerby, they’ve been around for a long time. I plan on just skating in these, nothing too fancy, maybe learning some moves, but we’ll see. I love the adjustable toe stop! I though it would be hard and cheap plastic. It’s better, sticks and flex’s. Rubber, not plastic. The trucks are a little stiff, but like I said, I’ll adjust them to my liking.

It's been 15 years since I skated. I used to skate with inline skates only but thought I'd try something different. These skates are wonderfully comfortable and fit. I normally wear an 8 sometimes a 7 1/2 women. I went ahead and got the men 7/women 8. I could've gone down one size more but I feel like they would have been little too tight for my comfort. I like a little wiggle room for my toes. Might end up replacing the plate underneath in the future, but, overall, these are wonderful cute skates!

Porter 1hre la première fois

Increíble...Me gustó mucho su atención.Gracias, muy buen producto.

Lo que no me gustó es que vienen muy alto los frenos pero de los demás muy bien

Se ven muy bien y se puede patinar muy bien en ellos

My kid loves them. Love the sneaker look. And they hold up well.
