Roller Derby Spartan 9.9 Womens Inline Skates

Too tight.

I ordered these skates thinking they would ship several days to a week after the estimated date, but they got here a day before the estimated date Amazon gave me! (I was happily surprised). I carefully opened the box, inspected the blades, and found that the axle on the right brake/wheel was the only thing that was loose (because they put that thing on last, i'm guessing). Other than that nothing is wrong with them. I made sure to order a size bigger than my shoe size though, because after looking on Roller Derby's sizing chart, I found out they run a little small. I am shoe size 7 (with skinny feet) and a size 8 was perfect. My toes run all the way up to the front of the boot, but that's how its supposed to be (plus i'll break in the padding on the inside of the boots soon enough). Just got back from a ride in the park and decided that i'm definitely loving and keeping these. :)But if you do happen to get them in the mail and find out they don't work for you, DON'T try them on outdoors. Roll around on your carpet first so you don't scratch em up. That's all :)

I really like these. They are pretty and functional. I wear a size 8 and I ordered an 8. They are tight, but not too bad. They will just take some getting used to. My only problem with them is that I can't seem to be able to get the brakes off without having the back wheel being too loose. Anyone know what I can do? (I hate brakes).UPDATE:I have had them for a few days now, and they kill my feet. It hurts so bad that even the next day it hurts to walk. I have now loosened them up as much as possible, so hopefully my feet get a break. Definitely order a size up if you have feet that are even slightly wide, or just buy a different pair. I bought my daughter the k2 Annika inlines, and you can see the quality difference. I think I will pick up a pair of k2's for myself.

I have taken these things out about 10 times since I have gotten them. Pretty much every break in the weather (I live in New England) I am out rollerblading. The boot fits nicely, I am a size 7 1/2 shoe, I bought a 7 in these. For some reason it digs only into my left ankle so I think it just may not be broken in yet. My only qualm with these is that they do mot go very fast, it takes a lot to get them up to a good speed. I guess is a better work out this way but on days when I feel like just enjoying the view I can't. I tried adjusting the wheels but it didnt help at all. Other than that they are good rollerblades for the price. I give them a A-

It is a good product. Good quality. And for people who need it, I recommend it 100%. In addition, this a good price.
