VNLA Carbon Speed Roller Inline Skates - Adjustable Inline Skates - (Black, Blue, Green, Red)

I bought the black ones in 2015 and broke a few weeks ago this year (2018) They are EXCELLENT!!!But these are NOT FOR BEGINNERS at all. They are big, a bit heavy (if you are used to using roller blades then you will have no problem) and have no support for the ankle. To use this you either have a strong ankle or have to buy an ankle support first. I bought a similar to these ones (I bought them in Sports Authority but these look the same):https://www.amazon.com/Volleyball-Basketball-Sprained-Stabilizer-Women%EF%BC%88Medium%EF%BC%89/dp/B07KGCD83B/ref=sr_1_8_s_it?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1544403506&sr=1-8&keywords=ankle%2Bsupport&th=1Once you have the right support, you will be able to run extremely fast. I have roller derby ones and these rollerblades are just crazy faster! As fast as a bicycle if you have strong legs.In conclusion, since these are so good, I bought a second pair just a few minutes ago. I wanna be ready for Christmas vacation! :D

Skates got here on time, and were about everything they said they’d be. I’m overall happy with the product itself, for the most part. A couple issues I have had already:1. I just bought the skates and have had them for 36 hours. I’ve laced them up twice and on the third time, the plastic piece holding the toothed strap to the boot broke off in my hand before even putting it into the buckle. I’m going to have to rivet it to the strap, as it’s not a part sold by itself. Only upset that after riveting it, the strap isn’t going to be easily replaceable.2. 4 separate times throughout the information section here it says the skates have 110mm wheels, so I bought a replacement set for outdoor and one for indoor. However, the wheels are 100mm. This is another issue that I could have lived with, but now I have to order another set of 100mm wheels and return the 110mm wheels because the information was wrong in the description on 4 separate occasions.3. The info tab suggests the bearings are race bearings and are of high quality. They’re not. They’re by all means a decent set of bearings and will do the job, but even the cheapest set of bearings with a decent brand name will out-perform these bearings twice or three times over.Overall, I’m not unhappy with the skates. However, I think the information is misleading with the wheel size and bearing description, and I’m upset the strap broke within 36 hours, but that may be just my pair coincidentally, and I’ll give the benefit of the doubt there.

Buyer Aware, Warranty of this product does not exist.Drop to one star due to defective and TEKFLY blame I baked the inline skates incorrectly.The defective inline skate acted strangely in the beginning, the carbon fiber part always loose up. It failed to hold the lower ankle, therefore one of my feet skate like drunk.After baking for 5 times, follow by their instruction 180F-200F(used 180F), 8 minutes each side, I realized one of the inline is defective. Filed a Claim, TEKFLY reply with a short answer: can you send us some photos? Replied with photos, dead silences from the other side.Second claim filed, wrote detailed information, describe how it is not working property. No reply from seller.Third time I filed a claim for defective, TEKFLY blame I baked it incorrectly.If you know how to contact amazon for this issue, leave a comment below, I will keep things update on the top.=========Original=========Very good Inline Skates, for one of my foot. The other one just does not hold its shape after heat molding.The Inline Skates can fit my feet very well after I baked them at 180F. I included the photos during the heat molding process. Pre-heat oven to 180F, bake both side for total 15 -20 minutes. They fit so good! They feel just right. I even have measurement of the width before and after.But not so fast. The carbon fiber part and the part inside the inline skates will loosen, it does not hold its head molded shape anymore. I can lose balance easily since it does not have support, hence tilted left or right during skating.I took pictures and create an video about before and after.Thought about the Vanilla ABEC-9 bearing: If you are serious about skating, change it right the way, don't even break it in. I can go 18 MPH MAX on Vanilla ABEC-9 after serious works: Clean by citrus 2 times, 2 drops of bones speed cream. They definitely required those works before you use them. The bearings I have are noisy, 2 out of 16 bearings don't want to turn fast, another 2 out of 16 makes noise, probably by dirt.I can easily go up to 25 MPH after change it to Bones REDS.Just have to wait for vendor's reply if they are going to replace my left inline skate. I cannot seriously think about I have to bake one of my inline skate for every 2 miles.

With its big wheels..reduces the risk to fall on gravels or sand on the floor comparing the small wheel radius or in small gutters too..but still after 2 to 4 rides i need to remould it for the correct fitness

They work great, fit snug as a bug. I wear a half size and decided to order the size down (9 1/2 - 9) and they fit very well. Way different riding experience from roller blades, so be careful. Overall I love these and they are worth the money. Let me stress that these are not beginner skates, and if you are just starting out, then I recommend roller blades.

I bought these skates back in 2016 and haven't ever had any significant problems with them. Of course there's some visible wear and tear on them, but after almost three years they're still going strong. I skate with my friends around 3 times a week for a few hours at a time, and have consistently since I got them. They need to be heat molded and you definitely need to keep your bearings clean, but if you take care of your skates, they'll last a long time. Seriously recommend these to anyone looking for a pair of good speed skates, absolutely worth the price!

Exactly what my son wanted and expected! He’s an avid skater and worked all summer to make/save for these. I worried because I know how disappointing it is to wait and get excited for a big ticket item only to have it not live up to expectations. He LOVES his new skates and we both agree they were a great fit and a great buy!!
