Roller Skates Other HG AXS

These skates look great! Love the space girl feel! I wanted the Moxie's but didn't want the price tag, so started out with these ones. I had read reviews that these skates were narrow I the toe box and I have quite wide feet. When I first got them, my pinky toe felt really squashed and uncomfortable, but honestly, probably any skate would have been like this for me. So I took matters I my own hands. I have shoe stretchers because this is a common problem for me. I very easily stretched out the toe box by using my shoe stretcher and a hair dryer. You can blow heat onto the skate and crank out your toe area. I literally did this within 30 minutes. My skates are soooooooo comfy now.

Comfortable boot. Laces up nice. Makes you foot feel sturdy inside. Wheels glide nicely when you skate. I use these skates 4 days a week for outside exercise and I have been impressed with the quality of the skates and the wheels. When you read the reviews of many skates they talk about the problems with the wheels. That is not an issue with IMPALA. I use these on the side walk and the main road and I am able to navigate over the imperfections on the road easily. I am impressed with these skates and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a super fun, fairly priced, durable skate. Oh...and what a great topic of conversation. My neighbors are always commenting, "Oh, I Love your skates. They look fun." " Why yes, They ARE!!!! " Happy Skating Everyone.

Excellent quality, classic look, great fit

So cute but don’t forget toe covers of you don’t want to scratch off the design

The skates are awesome! The padding material makes the skates fit on my feet and ankles snugly and painlessly. The wheels are pretty gummy and roll wonderfully on concrete roads; however, be careful near cracks and pebbles because that may cause a bumpier ride, increasing the risk to fall. Since the plates are made of metal, the skates are kind of heavy, which was an issue in the beginning for me. Eventually, I became used to it and it is no problem now. Also, I have had the skates for two days now, but I already noticed some paint chipping from the top lacing notches. I don't care much for it, but others might. Make sure to order a size up. I am a US women's size 7, but I ordered a size 8 which ended up fitting perfectly.

They roll great, the wheel turn is super quiet. They seem to be good quality and heavy duty. That being said, you have to have the narrowest of feet to fit them. I wear an 8.5W. I bought the US7/9 which is recommended by the size chart. They're narrow at the toe and the ankle. My heel sits in them fine and there's room in front of my toes, but that's it. For those to whom it will be important, the materials have zero give at all, so must break them in. Also, it won't matter much to some folks, but in case it's important to you, they are so heavy. I'm returning them, so I'm not taking them for a spin. I can't comment on how well they glide. Not too bad for a beginner boot. If certainly keep them if they fit.

I love my roller skates! As far as how they look, they've exceeded my expectations, and I've received so many compliments on them! That said, the laces that come with the skates leave something to be desired: 1) The very first time I put the skates on, the material the laces are made of (nylon, perhaps?) nearly cut into my fingers as I was pulling the laces tight, and left my fingers sore afterwards. 2) The next time I went skating (2nd time ever putting them on), as I was lacing the skates, I noticed that one of the laces was badly frayed (see photo)... I had to buy a new pair of laces at the roller rink before I could even skate. So, do yourself a favor and replace the laces FIRST THING. With the exception of crappy laces, these skates are AWESOME! I just turned 56-years-old and I take my skates to the rink every chance I get! ;)

These skates arrived early! This skate is great for beginners. I loosen up the trucks and the wheels and they roll smoothly. I used to have inlines as a child so getting used to these quads is not easy but with YouTube videos I'm getting better. It's been about 1week of practice and I've only used them inside the house. The wheels are gummy like and the laces are great material. I feel very secure around the ankles and these skates are very comfortable. They are true to size. I got them in size 8 for women's which is a size 6 in men's. I'm a size 8 in heels and sneakers so they fit me perfect. There's enough room for my feet to wear thicker socks if I wanted and they don't feel too tight. They really are perfect for my feet. Please get safety gear you will need it if you are rusty.
