Overview
Roces Fifth Element Team Buio Skates. Environmentally conscious skates! Made almost entirely from recycled materials so that you can say you are doing your part while shredding it at the park (shell and cuff are 97% from recycled PU, plates are 97% from recycled PA, frames are 97% from recycled PA + Glass Fiber, anti-rocker wheels are 97% from recycled PVC and the liner padding is 100% recycled polyurethane). The BUIO (pronounced be-yu-oy) means darkness or without light, and it is definitely dark and mysterious. Made in Italy, it comes with 60mm 93A HQ compound wheels (anti-rocker setup), ABEC5 bearings, rocker washers and aluminum spacers. Max wheel size 60mm if riding flat.
Fifth Element boots are close to the ones from way back, but with wider soulplates and UFS mounting. The shell is wider than the narrow fitting M12, opening Roces up to a whole new fan base. They are made up to size US10.5 only (if swapping out with a thinner Intuition or MyFit Liner, you can get a US11-12 foot in there). No brake.

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.
