Overview
Flying Eagle F7 Dual-Density Skates use different materials on the shell that combines support and flex. The red portion is softer, letting the v-cut cuff be more comfortable during maneuvers, and to gain a closer wrap when lacing for the best control.
The advanced design works well for urban skating, or even as an entry point to freestyle slalom skating (rockerable frames - axles flip in the 1st and 4th wheel positions to change wheel height). Strong extruded aluminum EGO Frames use 80mm wheels (sizes 5.0 thru 7.5 use 76mm wheels). Aluminum frame mounting base plates further enhance control and response. Flying Eagle liners (removable) never disappoint and Pro bearings spin for days. No Brake Compatibility Due to Rockerable Frames.
*The video we include below shows the older grey model. It is still good for information, but the black/red model seen is what will ship.

Sizing Chart
| GENERAL SKATE SIZING GUIDELINES | |
|---|---|
| Measure both feet with socks similar to those in which you intend to skate. Then use the measurement of the longest point and reference the model-specific size chart to determine size. How to Measure Your Feet for Skates. | |
| Proper fit has the toes not being cramped against the front. Toes may slightly brush the front as heels will settle back when in the skating position. Try on skates indoors while in a seated position. Lace and buckle both skates, tap your heels to the floor, and then stand and bend your knees to simulate the skating position.

Comments: I measured the size 8.5 and found it to be 26.0cm, not 26.8cm like it says in the sizing chart. This turned out to be too small.
