Chicago Bullet Quad Speed Skates Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have had nothing but trouble with these skates. I got them as a Christmas present because I wanted to try out for the local roller derby league and thought I should get some practice under my belt before-hand since I haven't skated in 15 years.

The first time I wore the skates I barely made it around the rink once because some of the wheels weren't spinning and the trucks were so loose they were actually touching the base of the boot and wore a grove into the plastic! I had everything adjusted by someone who knows what they're doing and they noticed the bearings were smashed but thought they'd be OK for what I needed.

The skates still made me feel extra clumsy, like I was tipping over (by this time I had used the rentals enough to know I could get around OK).I tried to skate through it and only spent about an hour and a half on them altogether. When I got home, I realized that the whole skate was bent which was why I felt like I was leaning (I was!) and also why the wheels were touching the edges of the boot. Oh, and the wheels were actually fraying, but that was the least of my safety issues.

Bottom line, for $50 no it's not worth the struggling and risk of injury that they brought. I ended up buying some Riedell R-3's at the suggestion of some veteran skaters and I couldn't be happier. They cost a bit more but are so worth it when it means I'm not constantly falling and cursing my feet!

They get the 1 star because the boots were comfortable and because I don't think you can give no stars. Maybe these would be OK skates for children, but other than that I wouldn't waste my money.

Chicago Ladies Rink Roller Skates Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was tired of the rental skates and wanted to be able to zip around the floor with my kids at the skating rink.So I bought these skates.At the time, it felt a little impulsive to spend so much on skates.Well, now I know I should have spent more and at least be happy with what I purchased.

I had such a hard time skating with these skates, and when I talked to the guy at the pro shop and 2 people online (there are a lot of resources online-do a search for quad skates) I realized these skates were made for beginning kids, never a 36 year old mom!They are not made to do the kind of things on the floor you think you might be able to do.In fact, I couldn't even turn.I kept having to push off because they would slow down.I kept adjusting them and had a professional at the rink adjust them for me, and forget it!I'm selling them at the resale shop and spending more money to at least get something decent.

Chicago Women's Rink Skate Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)We ordered this product in a size 8 and when we received it, it was marked size 8 but it was easily a normal size 10. We had to pay to ship it back and exchange it for a smaller size, when there should have been an advisory that the skates run extremely large.It cost $19 dollars to ship it back for the exchange in addition to the original cost of the skates plus shipping.Other than that the skates are true to the description and are very cute.Therefore the skates actually cost $69 instead of $50 (including shipping).

Product Description:
Whether you're trying to keep up with the kids at the rink or just out to have some good old-fashioned fun with the girls, this classic women's quad roller skate from Chicago is a great way to get started. The skate features a traditional high top profile boot to support your ankles and a simple eyelet/speed hook lacing system that allows you to adjust the fit as you go. The indoor/outdoor urethane wheels, which hold up well against the normal wear and tear of skating, provide great traction and control, and the semi-precision bearings keep you rolling smooth and fast. An aluminum base plate with adjustable truck provides easy turning and control. The skate is available in white and comes in sizes one through eleven. It's covered by a 30-day warranty.
