Very decent beginners skates
By Suzanne Courteau
I bought a pair of these for use in roller derby training camp, and I'm about to purchase a second pair. Considering the low price and what I've put them through, they're a pretty good value! These are my impressions after 5 months of heavy use:-The boot's fine. I was between sizes and ordered up to an 8. They are starting to smell somewhat...nothing a little spray won't take care of! One of the speed straps came apart after a couple of months but duct tape took care of that. The skates don't come with toe-guards or reinforced toe leather but despite that showed very little wear with regular skating on our smooth-concrete practice floor. But after a couple of hard-core knee-falls and slides on asphalt the leather over the toe wore off, and the right boot partially separated from the truck; again, nothing that a little duct tape didn't fix.-No problems with the trucks.-The toe-stops are a bit high, but they're big, which you may or may not like. If I could ever get the screw that holds them on loosened I'd put a couple of washers on there to bring em down.-The wheels, as stated, are 58mm wide. I have no idea of their hardness, and can't find the info anywhere online! They're okay though a bit skittery on smooth concrete floors, great on polyurethane gym floors, and horribly rough on outside pavement.-The Abec-3 bearings...at first I did not love them, but after a couple of thorough cleanings, I respect their cheap durability. The set was a mixed bag of good and less-than-good bearings. When they're dirty you'll know it -- everyone will because they get pretty noisy. But they do clean up well. I'm actually happier with the Abecs than I am with a second pair of Qubes I bought.My intention with this second pair is to upgrade the wheels for my indoor skating, and use my original, taped-up pair for outdoors. Hope this helps, folks!

I purchased these skates for roller derby which are perfect. I"m only starting out and find these skates are comfortable. the only complaint is that the toe stop is a little too big, but I plan on wearing those out.

By Leah W.
I purchased these skates for outdoor beginner flat track derby. They have been quite sufficient to the task, however, TOE GUARDS ARE A NECESSITY. Basically without the leather flap toe guards (they hook under your toe stopper and go up and over the toe and tie through the laces) the boot will be worn through to your skin within a matter of days. Protect your investment and get the toe guards regardless of which skates you buy. Also, be aware that skates are ordered one to one and a half sizes below your normal women's shoe size. For instance, I wear a women's 9.5 shoe and wear a men's 8 in these skates. This is standard for all skates.
