Previous Feedback
Comments: Not so impressed. Within 6 months, the outside plastic protection poked through the boot padding and traumatized my ankle causing an injury. They were good for entry-level play but this design flaw has sent me to the sports therapist. Buy higher level skates if you intend to get more aggressive with your skating.

Comments: My first pair of hockey skates and was not disappointed. Have been using them for two years now and they are just starting to so some real wear and tear. Great skates for the price!
From: Trevor
Comments: I bought these skates for outdoor roller hockey, and they are great. The skate are easy to break in and very comfortable. These skates are very mobile on outdoor surfaces. I would definitely recommend buying them
From: Mitchell, NC
Comments: I have mixed reviews on these skates. I have had them for over a year now and play on a near daily basis. The boot itself is in decent condition. It has some wear on the outside of the foot but I use these skates outdoors about 4-5 times a week so understand that. The laces on the right skate ripped due to the little metal washer that holds the laces in place bending and cutting it. The wheels that come on the skates are terrible and I removed them after the first use. The bearings are very subpar as well. The soles on the inside of the boots frequently come out when I remove my foot but I superglued them down so they haven't moved since. The wheel set up is very strange on these not to mention. 80-76-76-72. I've just wound up using straight 72's because it's more convenient to just buy a pack of 8. The screws and bolts that come on the skates are poor too. I wound up buying the Bauer round flush set. After all those negative thing's I've had to say, consider the fact that in 365 days I probably used them over 300 times and take that for what it's worth.

Comments: Some very nice skates. These skates have been the most durable and longest lasting skates I have ever owned. I have wore many pairs of skates, as well as played in many pairs and by far these have lasted the longest. This was very surprising to me, but these skates are very well made. BUY THESE SKATES

Comments: Wow great skates...BUY them
From: Trevor
Comments: Overall appearance is great! Quality is great! I ordered these skates for myself. I received them on time, with some companies you get delivery days after expected arrival. Since this was my first time ordering skates online I was a little confused about the sizing chart. I did not want to get the wrong size because i don't like the hassle of repackaging & shipping items for return. I decided to call the 1800 number provided for the warehouse so i could ask someone directly about proper sizing. I called late in the evening but i still got a real person instead of some stupid automated system. The women i spoke with was very helpful,and confirmed the size i was initially thinking of was correct. I am very impressed. Consider me a regular!

Comments: Very nice skates. ABEC 5 bearings are fast enough at this price range. Wheels are good for outdoor but probably wont do good for indoors. Boot is nice and has good padding. Stitching is kind-of fraid in some parts but that is one of the few bad things about these skates. Awesome buy at this price. If you are questioning buying these skates, don't. Just buy them.
