Great Skates for Teen Daughter Feb 23, 2011
By Samuel Hurst Got these as a gift for my daughter and she loves them. Saved a significant amount of money vs buying the same pair at a local Sports Authority. The skates perform very well, are comfortable and are very stylish. I'm an avid skater myself and these are great all around skates. Sometimes people get really caught up in the wheel size and think that larger wheels are better, but what they forget to consider is that smaller wheels are more maneuverable. I feel sorry for the kids I see in speed skates with huge wheels who can't spin or change direction easily.

Beginner Skater-Awesome Skates! Mar 20, 2011
By jgrace I recently bought these skates and I love them! I've never owned inline skates before and it has been years since I've skated. Tried them out the other day for the first time and they are great! They're true to size, comfortable, stylish and smooth. I also thought the price was great (about $15 cheaper than the local Sports Authority, not to mention the free shipping). Also, they shipped in a timely manner-they arrived less than a week after being ordered. Definitely satisfied with these K2 skates and ordering from here on Amazon!

Omg! I love these May 14, 2011
By taylasku These are the first pair of roller blades that I have had since I was a kid and they are way better than the ones I had when I was young. Super comfortable and fast too. I recommend these to anyone. It only took me ten minutes to get the hang of it and before I knew it I felt like I was 12 again. This is a great brand and I would recommend it to anyone!

50 and still rolling May 05, 2011
By Rene Small I purchased these in-line skates hoping to get back in to skating for recreation and fitness. i'm just impressed how quickly i was able to get out there and roll. there was no break-in period I just put them on and took off. I was surprised how quickly I adjusted to the soft shoe. I'm from the old school and used to the hard plastic boot. I find these much like wearing tennis shoes. the support is right on time especially around the ankle. I was considering purchasing another pair to wear at the indoor rink since i can't wear my outdoor one's inside. Great! skate.. excellent if your just starting back like myself. highly recommend them.

Great Beginner Skates! Apr 28, 2011
By Liz M I purchased these skates so that I could go rollerblading while my boyfriend jogged. They are extremely comfortable, and true to size. I got a 6 and they fit perfectly even though my feet are a little wide. I haven't fallen yet, but am buying some pads just in case! These really are great skates.
