Sure-Grip Boxer Quad Speed Skates - White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased these skates a couple years ago from another web site. They are great skates, feel great on the feet. All around nice quality. I was a very serious skater when I was a teen and owned a pair of $300 Rydell skates..I paid $135 for these and they are just as good. I skate with my daughter now.

Product Description:
Considered the company's "house blend" by the good folks at K2, the Athena 2.1 women's fitness skate is built around K2's proprietary Softboot--a proven combination of comfort and control. The Softboot offers such features as standard ankle lacing, a stability cuff, and an Exo composite frame, which combine to offer serious support for new and experienced skaters alike. Each skate also includes a power strap that wraps around the ankle along with an adjustable buckle, adding to the snugness of the fit. And thanks to the 78 mm wheels and ABEC 5 bearings, skaters are assured of a smooth, controlled ride every time they hit the pavement. The skates, which come in a variety of sizes (4.0 to 11.0), are backed by a one-year warranty.
About K2
In February of 1961 the first pair of fiberglass skis was produced by brothers Bill and Don Kirschner in their Vashon Island, Washington shop. The Kirscners, avid skiers, built fiberglass animal cages for medical use and were convinced that their process could build a ski that was lighter, stronger, and more lively than the wood and metal skis of the day. They really just wanted to build some cool skis for themselves and their friends. And the rest, as they say, is history. Much has changed since those early days on sleepy Vashon Island, but one thing has not: K2 is still a bunch of adrenaline junkies who just want to make some cool stuff for themselves and their friends.
Today, K2 Inc. is a premier, branded consumer products company with a portfolio of leading brands including Shakespeare and Stearns for marine and outdoor products, Rawlings and Worth for team sports, K2 and Brass Eagle for action sports, and Marmot and Ex Officio for apparel and footwear. K2's diverse products includes fishing, watersports activities, baseball, softball, alpine skiing, snowboarding, and inline skating.

K2 Radical 90 Women's In-Line Skates Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am writing this review on behalf of my wife, who was the recipient of these skates. She was blading before I met her, and we've been together 20 years. Needless to say she is quite good, and has been through her fair share of skates over the years. Typically, I buy her a new pair every year. No more. These skates are the be-all, end-all. The brake was detachable, which made her happy beyond belief, and the skates even came with a more narrow replacement rear axle for proper wheel fit after the removal.

The wife is more of a figure-skating type; she puts her headphones on and forgets herself as she dances and grooves to the music. These skates give unparalleled fit and control, and the lowered cuff offers extended flexibility through the ankle, which increases control and speed. The fit and finish was superb, and the pictures you see on the 'net do nothing for how awesome these skates are in person. They even look like professional skates!

The best. Would wholeheartedly recommend! K2 rocks!

Riedell R3 Quad Skates - ABEC5 - White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I researched and tried on quite a few low-top speed skates in the $100 range -- I didn't intend to become a figure skater or a derby queen, I just wanted a good quality skate so I could get exercise and rediscover a little bit of youth at the rink. I finally settled on the Riedell R3s. I'd heard that they were the quality of a $150 or $175 skate for a lower price.

After skating on these for several months at my local rink, I have to agree. Of course, these aren't the fastest skates in the world; you can spend closer to a thousand dollars and get some really speedy skates. But for the price, these are an excellent beginner's speed skate.

They'll need adjusting out of the box (as all skates do), to make sure the wheels are all spinning evenly, and none are tightened down too hard. If you're skating at a rink, there's probably someone in the pro shop who can help you get them even. They have adjustable double-action trucks, which can be tightened up when you're just starting, and loosened as you get more comfortable.

The bearings, ABEC-5s, are a sizeable step up from the ABEC-1 found on most $50 skates. The wheels themselves are wide and a bit grippy, which can help with balance for a beginning skater. The skates also have adjustable toe stops that can be replaced with plugs, another step up from the fixed toe stops on lesser skates. The white version of this skate comes with two pair of laces, pink and white. They also come with a skate wrench, although I prefer to carry around a socket wrench in my bag (it's easier to get into tight places).

On the pro side, they have a wider toe box than other skates in the price range. On the con side, the insole is very thin; if you need arch support or more cushion, you'll have to add in extra insoles.Also, the tongues are a bit stiff when new; they'll take a few hours of skating to soften up.I had such a good experience with these skates, two of my skating chums bought them too.

Bones Bearings Swiss 6-Ball Skate Bearings (8mm, 16-Pack) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have a half set (skateboard 8 pack) I use with the pusher wheels I occasionally put on the inside axles of my quads.

Using fewer/larger balls puts the stress onto fewer points than with a seven ball (standard) or eight ball (Fafnir, Qube 8 Ball) setup. I would expect these bearings not to hold up as well as a seven or eight ball set would.

I'd be pointing a friend to the Qube 8 Balls myself.

K2 Rita Womens Inline Skates Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)So glad that I found these skates on sale when they were because I love them! & I would never pay over $100 for skates even if they are top quality. I believe these would get a lot more sales if they were cheaper because I was about to buy a second pair until I got an email saying the price went up. But I do appreciate the fact that they support the breast cancer foundation and it makes me feel better that part of my purchase goes to them as a donation! K2 blades are my favorite now :)

Product Description:
Blending a dash of affordability with style and performance, the K2 Rita Softboot-style women's inline skate looks and feels like a regular shoe and is a great choice for new skaters looking to refine their technique. K2's comfortable, stable Softboot construction features the most breathable uppers, supportive cuffs, and best fit known to any inline skate.



K2's Stability cuff. It's also outfitted with a stability cuff, composite frame and 80mm wheels with ABEC-5 bearings.
Stability Cuff
The Stability cuff offers fitness skaters confidence and control. The anatomical design is contoured to match your ankle profile for better balance and support.
Composite Frame
This balanced composite frame is designed for maneuverability and stability. This frame absorbs road vibration and lowers the skater's center of gravity. A composite frame is very forgiving and makes the learning process of skating a little easier.

Rollerblade Women's Spark 80W Skate Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)First pair of skates purchased after 15 years and they are pretty comfortable.Skated for 2 hours and no foot pain!I wanted a faster skate but decide to get these b/c the boot was comfortable -I could always change the bearings later on.why 4 stars?the foot bed is thin and offers very little arch support, I will most likely change them.& the brake offers no stopping support.I'm a pretty good skater and tried to skate home from the park in these and the brake just wouldn't slow me down enough to not go crashing into parked cars.Maybe I don't know how to use the brake, I still miss the old school roller skate rubber stop.However these skates are pretty fast and are comfortable.I would recommend them to anyone looking for new inline skates.
p.s. I bought mine at a brick and mortar store and paid 30$ more than listed on amazon. There was no customer service and limited selection.

They were a bit tight, but all I had to do is loosen the strings up a little and they felt so much better my next time around. They work great and provide a pretty nice, smooth ride. Not to mention they look good! Much better then my cheap Target pair. Overall I feel these are a great pair of skates and I highly recommend them.

Chicago Bullet Speed Skate Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)When I put my feet in the boots I have to keep playing w/the front part of it to try to get a good fit. It feels like my toes are being smooshed and I have to keep taking them off and putting them back on while taking my hand and pushing up on the front of the boot from the inside to get it to where my toes don't feel smooshed.The wheels do not go very fast.I know this is a beginner speed skate but they feel too tight.I can't skate on skating rink carpeting.I have to "walk" on them because the wheels don't want to go.Overall, I'm not very happy w/this purchase.
