    I got the skates yesterday and the first thing I noticed was how light they are, it's really not easy to explain the best way I could come up with is put on a pair of really light running shoes and just add frames. They look extremely small but don't fit that way everyone says to size up but I don't suggest it, I wear a size 11 shoe and got a size 11 skate and they fit like a glove.

    Now let's run down the pro's and the con's

    Pro's: The skate is very light, the souls are very easy to replace but I don't think I'll have to do so because they're so fast.
    The backslide groove is amazing, the whole "you can feel the rail under your feet thing" I see some truth to that but it's not that big of a difference.
    I for one really like the buckle and lacing system, it takes a little while longer to put on but once you get your foot in there tightly it's a very snug fit.


    Con's: They come very stiff (but what skate doesn't now a days) I missed a few topside tricks just because of how stiff and how light they are.
    Be careful on doing air tricks when you first get these, I don't want to say I can jump so much higher but there is a significant difference.

    Overall I'm very happy with the skate, it's not going to make me a pro or anything like that but it's a very solid nice looking skate.
    Just keep in mind, you get for what you pay for, comparing these to say rollerblade downtown's there's no comparasion.

    Very happy with my purchase.
