Comments: out of the box..very sturdy stiff boot...good stitching and enough padding in the ankle area..no discomfort while playing hockey....the 82A wheels are better suited for outdoor asphalt..i did use them on sport court and experienced some slipping on turns and pivots.. so consider some indoor wheels ...good value for an entry skate for inline hockey...I would recommend these
