rollerblade estillos

[*crooked*]

ok so i am getting new skates around xmas
and im either gonna get the 091s or i wanna try the rollerblade estilos

so my question is how do they skate compared to remz (and gens) do the souls slide good or slow, hows the flex

and if they totally blow whats another good pair of skates worth trying?

[Kevin Lubovich]

I've skated both Remz and Solos. The Solos are alot stiffer, but flex when you need them too. They're more solid to me. The souls are the fastest I've ever had. The skates themselves are light, but with the switch frames, it adds alot of weight. The groove is really really good, and does not feel like widebodies.

thanks like on a scale of 10 on flex what would you say remz are and the solos

just for reference

[Kevin Lubovich]

Remz depending on how you skate them can have up to a ten. Solos ar elike a 7 which is perfect.

[*crooked*]

yea i skate mine with razros cuffs so it adds some stiff ness i think the solos would be good

is there any other sugestions for skates?

[Kevin Lubovich]

Um, not that I know of, up size probally, cause the liners are real thick and mine hurt my toes. Damn, they feel so good though.

[*crooked*]

do the liners break in nice and give room like im a 10 gen liner could i grab a 9.5 and be golden?

you can basically adjust the flex to your liking because the buckle holds your foot so well, you can have the top strap loose or tight

Don't size down in them, my friend is a 7 in everything and when he got his size 7 Era's they were far too small for him.

[t0m fIsChEr]

im a 7 in everything and my 7 estillos hurt my toes with the stock liner, but once i put in the old deshi(/sifika dem george) liners, they were fucking perfect.

so if you got some thin liners and like a light low profile skate, get your normal size, if you want some bulk in the liner/skate, size up forsure.

The liners on the Estilos is awesome though, maybe even the best part of the skate! When you tighten the laces or strap in with the buckle your foot should be held back anyways, so get a size that fits and use the stock liner. I would imagine if you are a 10 in everything a 10 would fit, but of course smaller is better if it's still comfortable. Unfortunately an 8 is too small on me and a 9 too large.
