Unfortunately I had to return these skates within one month. The boot is soft so it's not as durable as others. Mine started to rip by the lace holes. These are very entry level skates. The bearings are not fast at all. And with the soft boot, I had to tighten down the laces to keep my foot in place. (I'm not a beginner). I normally wear a women's 7.5-8 and got a men's 6. It fit nicely except I didn't like the extra room at the front. A half size smaller would have been better for me. These could be nice skates for someone would wants comfort and doesn't want to skate very fast or dance. And the color is NOTHING like the pic. I was expecting a soft pink and instead the skates were a HOT PEPTO BISMOL PINK.I’ll start with what I enjoyed about these skates: They are aesthetically beautiful. They were inexpensive. I can slip them on and off easily, making them good for skating to and from my car.What didn’t work so well: these skates are just poorly manufactured. The bushings disintegrated after I skated twice on them, leaving my trucks grinding metal on metal. The shoe laces broke when I tried to tighten them the first time I put the skates on. The shoe itself has no arch support, and the outside also started falling apart about 2 weeks after buying them. The trucks loosen to a highly dangerous level within an hour of tightening them. When I contacted customer service about these problems, they were less than helpful.I had to replace the wheels and bearings with all new ones because the ones the skates comes with are just plain unskatable. I ended up investing probably 200 more dollars in making these skates useable. I very much don’t suggest anyone else do the same.Just what I needed to stay moving on the hot days indoor skating workout.skates fit perfect enough room I wear a size 7 ordered men 6 I think they fit greatMy skates were not inspected before packing and my bearings are bad 3 of my 8 wheels roll correctly. ( concluded through my own research ) added later: I was also missing a spacer when I changed to indoor wheels.The skates were so comfortable and great price.Excellent quality with a buttery soft boot.love my skatesComfortable
