Overview

The Alkali RPD Crew + Roller Hockey Skates pack a ton of value for the price. The nylon quarter package offers plenty support for the beginner or recreational player, plus it's fully heatmoldable for a truly customized fit. Alkali designed the quarter to put players in a natural hockey stance by reducing toe spring and giving the boot an aggressive yet still comfortable forward pitch.

The lowers consist of a two-piece, stamped aluminum Alkali Movement Chassis that holds Labeda Gripper (X-Soft) wheels and Abec 7 608 bearings. The pro-style 7mm white felt tongue is ventilated for consistent air flow, while the Anti-Lace Bite Guard helps to protect the top of the foot from impacts and of course lace bite.

Comments: This is my first pair of skates and I only play recreationally so for the price these skates are great. I tried on other skates and felt a lot of pressure on my ankle bones but when I got these I didn't feel any pressure in those areas at all. They were very comfortable straight outta the box and are only getting better. The Labeda wheels have been durable considering I've been practicing on smooth asphalt a lot as well as indoor rinks. My next pair will be definitely be Alkali although I'll probably go a model or two up. For the price of these skates however they are great. I would recommend them.
