Chicago Women's Premium Leather Lined Rink Roller Skate - Classic White Quad Skates
Premium Leather Lined Rink Roller Skate
I
bought these a few years ago and I wasn't really sure what my intent
was for them, I just wanted to skate. I tried to skate outside a few
times and I felt so unstable that I gave up. I recently decided to try
again and I still felt like a new born giraffe on these skates. When I
bought them I really didn't do any research. I picked the least
expensive skate I could find that had a good rating. A few months ago I
actually did some research on skates and decided to buy new outdoor
wheels and bearings. That alone cost me $80, which is more than I
originally spent on this skate. The new wheels made a HUGE difference as
I am primarily trying to skate outside and the pacement and sidewalks
around me are not smooth at all. I also found out, when I changed my
wheels, that the original wheels were waaaaaaaay to tight. So my
recommendation to anyone buying these boots and keeping the original
wheels would be to check everything and possibly make adjustments or
loosen the wheels up. I also loosened the trucks and it has help make it
easier time doing turns and dance type moves. I am finding now that I
probably also want to replace the toe stops which will be another $20.
So, overall, not a bad skate, but I think you should know exactly what
you want your skate for before you buy it. As the name states, these are
probably best for rink skating. They can be modified for other
purposes, but to that end you may just want to buy a completely
different skate. With the money I've now spent to update these skates, I
wish I had just bought a pair of moxi or suregrip boardwalk skates
instead, seeing as how I mostly wanted an outdoor lifestyle dance and
trick skate. Also, I'm not crazy about the boot. It's very stiff and
very tall. When I bought them I thought they would be great for ankle
support, but I'm a petite person and they are too tall- they are taller
than my ankles and cut into my calves. They are incredibly stiff and
even after weeks of skating in them, they have no softened up at all.
They are a little painful to wear and I'm finding it hard to do any kind
of moves that involve bending at the ankle, because they seriously
don't bend. as previously said, not a bad skate, but not ideal for my
own use. I'm now considering buy a new moxi boot and just reusing the
plates and trucks off this skate. And experienced skater probably knows
all these things, but I assume that some of you looking at these skates
will be like me- a beginner just looking for something affordable for a
hobby and nothing serious. These can work for that, but I advise
watching a few videos and reading a few guides about skates and the
different styles of skating before you decide.
