CHICAGO Bullet Speed Roller Skate for Men, 62mm Urethane Wheels, ABEC-1 Bearings, Lace-Up Vinyl Boot, Black – Indoor/Outdoor Racing Skates

Great skates for rink skating, this is the second pair I've bought. My first pair lasted four years, and even survived a few bouts of outdoor skating.If you're looking for skates that roll, are lightweight, and aren't gonna get all rickety on you, these are them. They are well constructed and durable and the wheels are good for indoors. Everything is straight and tight on arrival. These skates work for spins/bunny hops but they are NOT trick skates. These are for no-frills skaters, the minimal amount you can achieve with the most enjoyment, for learners and casual skaters.CONS: The brakes (toe stops) are very hard, maybe good for outdoors on asphalt but not grippy enough for indoors, so plan on replacing them with other (bolt on) toe stops. The bearings aren't awful, but as a general rule they should be replaced with something else no matter what wheels you're on. If you want to skate outside, you will want softer/larger wheels. I have been able to skate outside on what they come with, but the cracks and textures will really mess you up.GENERAL STARTERS RULES:With every new pair of skates (and preferably before you put them on every time) adjustments need to be made. Listen very carefully: NEED. You need to tighten everything down firmly before you get started. Dont tighten the ones with the rubber cushions that attach to the skates much, if you tighten it much more then you'll ruin the cushion. Once the wheels and toe stop and the little nuts on the boot are tight, you want to go to each wheel and loosen it a quarter turn (90°) or less and spin the wheel, once the wheel spins freely and sustains for a little bit then its loose enough. If your wheel slides/rattles on the pole holding it (any more than just a tiny tiny bit of wiggle room) then you need to tighten it down all the way and start again.

Great product

I bought these so I had decent skates when I take my daughter. I gave these 5 stars bc for the price they’re great. You’re not getting $3-400 skates but they’re great for the rink. I got mine super cheap bc they were an Amazon and they paid for themselves with 8 trips to the rink.

I'm a very experienced skater and my skates are very very expensive, so I'm not writing this review for my 6 year old son who wears a size 1. They fit a little smaller than expected, but are very good skates for younger skaters, plenty solid enough for him and his weight. Enough so that when he grows out of theses I'll buy the next side up, maybe even size 3 too. I have had to adjust them, the wheels are too bound up, the trucks are tightened all the way down, I could see both of those things as problems for someone that buys them. I would not buy these as an adult though, the trucks are thinner than I would want, the strength for an adults weight is suspect, great for children though.Edit: These are definitely not ready to jump in and skate, and they are definitely a good buy for children and definitely would steer clear as an adult skate. I looked closer at the skates and realized they use a spacer between the bearings, not only is is unnecessary but it also helps the bearings not roll properly. For some reason the only picture I have of those is while it's still in the wheel, sorry. It's clear that the wheels were not made with that particular spacer in mind because when you remove them the bearings fit all the way in, something they don't do if you don't remove that spacer. The nuts are tightened so far down that a few of the bearing dust shields are bent, one is so bent that impedes the ability for the bearing to be smooth.So the wheels and toe stops suck, the boot and plate are fine (for children,) the bearings are fine if they didn't crank down on them from the factory, and you remove the spacer, and the tool that came with the skates wouldn't work on the nuts of the skates (so I had to use my own socket set.) For 40 dollars I'm supremely satisfied, skates are expensive and these manage to not be because they need work out of the box.

super excited about these! My son is 9 & wears a shoe size 6, I bought these in a size 6 & they fit him perfect! He just learned to skate using some old skates that were too small for him & didn't roll very good, so he is super happy to have a pair that fits & rolls amazingly. I squeezed my foot into them & they roll nice & smooth. We use them for outdoor only as we have no rinks here. He skated through the neighborhood & really liked everything about these skates. They also look really nice! Jet black with white stoppers. Update... The next day my daughters skates arrived. She wears a ladies size 7-7 1/2 shoe. I bought her the size 7 & they fit great. They also fit me perfect & I wear a womens size 8 shoe. We are super happy with these skates! Awesome purchase!

These worked out good for a low price speed skate if you are getting back into skating
