Riedell Skates - Dart Ombré - Quad Roller Speed Skate

These are the best shares for the money! All of my kids have them

As always great product I love the skates thank you.

I used to roller skate back in the day and in an effort to try to be more active upon reaching middle age, decided to try the experts advice that the easiest way to find success with a fitness program is to partake in activities that you like. I was a rink rat back in the 80s. Eventually got a pair of rollerblades that got some minimal use over the years but my old quad skates did not survive. Well, actually they were fine but after having two kids, my feet never fit them right again. How could they after almost 30 years! So I did a lot of research before settling on this as a replacement. I know this is meant for derby and not the same type of artistic boot that I had grown up using but wanted to give it a try and could not resist the fun colors. I love it but am still getting used to it. The brake sits a bit low and I know I can adjust them. The shoe part fits pretty comfortably, just the slightest tad big, but I did not want to go down another size. Can probably wear thicker socks. Cant quite pull the laces tight enough as I would like but the velcro closure makes up for that. There is no ankle support so I feel I had to work a lot harder in the back calf muscles to stay upright and moving. Ive been out in them twice and after a few laps, start to get my confidence back. I cant quite describe if they are slick enough or not slick enough. On the one hand, first steps out I feel that it is quite slick but then after many laps and I want to pick up speed, I feel that I cant quite get any faster and I dont know if that is some type of subconscious safety mechanism kicking in to keep me safe or as if Ive reached max speed on the wheels. Again Im not describing this well and I have a feeling using some tools to adjust could very well do the trick. I dont care how old I am, Im having fun again!

great buy

They serve the purpose I bought as a gift for nephew he has no complaint.

Really high quality skates, they roll really well compared to the rentals at the skating rink. I’m extremely pleased with them. The only think I could say that is a negative is they did not come with a key because I’d like to switch the green wheels to the front.

Really, so cute. A little on the heavy side, specially for a beginner, but got used to them. They’re slightly different that the boot ones, on account of the heel; otherwise, they fit perfectly.

Part of my issue is that I listened to the reviews and not the actual sizing. I wear a womens size 8 and bought a skate size 8 based on reviews saying they are tight. Well mine work but not comfortably. I should have gotten a size 7. But even so I dont think Id buy them again. They just seem so much heavier and bulkier than the leather high top skates at the skating rink. Ill continue to use them until I can convince my hubby that I need new skates for my birthday or something lol

These look and feel awesome.

We started going roller skating just for fun:). These skates are so much more comfortable than the rentals. Also didn’t have to pay for that every time. Great skates!!
