Good skate for everyday use but get some indoor wheels if you want to glide smooth in the rink.
These skates are very pretty and decent quality. I’m in my thirties and used to skate all the time as a kid at the local rink. I go about once a year and want to go more often.My biggest gripe about the these skates are the wheels. I bought these to save some money versus getting the glitter Sure-Grip ones and now I will have to purchase specific indoor wheels. My rink is a polished wood floor and these wheels don’t roll well on this surface (also they felt sticky on my laminate wood floors at home). I was able to skate for about a hour before I got too upset by how much force I had to use to go a medium speed around the rink. I like to go fast so this is a problem for me.Size wise, I am a either a 7.5 or and 8 in women’s shoes and other reviews said these ran large so I bought a 7. The 7’s were way too small. I then bought and 8 and they fit but are a bit roomy with my narrow feet.I don’t wear leather so getting a faux leather skate was a necessity for me. I hope this material can last me some years. It’s pretty stiff and doesn’t look like it’s going to get any more pliable over time.

Indoor Use- AWESOME, Outdoor Use- May require some other things
First off—what a cute look! It’s an eye catcher.That being said, you MUST buy protective toe covers if you plan on skating outdoors and don’t want to ruin them. Within an hour of my first wear I’d already chipped some of the design. Toe covers can be found on Amazon, our on Etsy if you’re looking for cuter designs.Wheels.... for outdoor use these are rough wheels to work with. If you plan on skating outdoors (ESPECIALLY on sidewalks or terrain that could be slightly uneven or bumpy or have debris like small pebbles and sticks) you are going to want to buy some softer wheels. Softer wheels help absorb the shock of skating outdoors, plus they make small pebbles and sidewalk cracks more skate-able. That way, you don’t have to feel like you’re going to fall if you hit a bump. I’d recommend softer wheels and keeping the wheel that come with the skates for indoor use. Wheels are VERY easy to take on and off. Same for the stoppers.Final note- these skates provide a surprising amount of ankle support. I have famously pretty pronated ankles/feet. I felt incredibly supported, but not in an over-the-top too noticeable way.Highly impressed! Also, did you know that roller skating for 1 hour burns 330 calories!

Fun, great quality awesome throwback
So cute! So sparkly. So the reason I'm most likely going to end up with a broken leg or a busted knee cap as one day while dealing with insomnia I had the bright idea that I would take up a new hobby at 39, you guessed it- roller skating. My friends think I'm nuts, but I'm kinda excited. The skates are really comfy, wheels are nice, material is nice. I bought these in winter so I can't go outside yet but will definitely take them out to the Greenway in the spring.

Perfect fit
Love my skates, I can't wait to try them out. I love the sparkle in the boots and wheels. Definitely true to size I ordered 9/10 I wear a size 10 in women's and the boot fits great with even a little extra room if I want to wear two pairs of socks.

Sparkling skates= super fun!
Beautiful glittery skates! I normally wear ladies 9 shoes and the men’s 8 fit. My feet do push forward some but nothing too bad, but I think the 9s would be too large. These are not soft leatherette type, they are like patent leather so they are stiff! Laces seem sturdy but hard to tighten since the material of the skates is so stiff. Felt great on my kitchen floor, wheels were not “sticky” as a previous customer had mentioned. I have not gone to the rink yet but I’m not seeing any issues other than it hurting since they are new.

Perfect!
In love! Disliked gray shoelaces so I bought pink ones. Shoes are sparkly and beautiful! Recommend to everyone. :) Had to grind wheels down by riding on blacktop because so slick at first where they’re new. Felt like sliding on glass when at roller rink. But afterwards they’re fine now and are perfect on roller rink.

Great for the price! Runs a bit large.
Skates should fit pretty closely, these run a bit large. Ordered for my friend who is normally a size 6.5 and the 6 fit her just fine. These are definitely a bit stiff and not meant for speed, but they're great for casual skating and they are very very cute.

comfortable to wear
Purchased this for my daughter. She likes sparkling black and the color is just like the pix when they arrived. So great, no surprises there. Comfortable to wear and easy to maneuver and stop as well. Another good buy for me.
