 Disposable skatesOct 09, 2010
By eric norton
I bought these for roller derby, and within two months I had the outer quarter of the leather upper blow out on me through a turn. These are glued more than stitched together. They weren't the most comfortable pair of skates either: They broke down before they broke in.
Anyhow, if you are looking to get in to a skating sport, I suggest you rent skates before buying (just to see if you like it) and then splurge on a great pair--not these.

great skatesOct 29, 2010

I purchased these skates for roller derby which are perfect. I"m only starting out and find these skates are comfortable. the only complaint is that the toe stop is a little too big, but I plan on wearing those out.

Very decent beginners skatesAug 23, 2011
By Suzanne Courteau
I bought a pair of these for use in roller derby training camp, and I'm about to purchase a second pair. Considering the low price and what I've put them through, they're a pretty good value! These are my impressions after 5 months of heavy use:
-The boot's fine. I was between sizes and ordered up to an 8. They are starting to smell somewhat...nothing a little spray won't take care of! One of the speed straps came apart after a couple of months but duct tape took care of that. The skates don't come with toe-guards or reinforced toe leather but despite that showed very little wear with regular skating on our smooth-concrete practice floor. But after a couple of hard-core knee-falls and slides on asphalt the leather over the toe wore off, and the right boot partially separated from the truck; again, nothing that a little duct tape didn't fix.
-No problems with the trucks.
-The toe-stops are a bit high, but they're big, which you may or may not like. If I could ever get the screw that holds them on loosened I'd put a couple of washers on there to bring em down.
-The wheels, as stated, are 58mm wide. I have no idea of their hardness, and can't find the info anywhere online! They're okay though a bit skittery on smooth concrete floors, great on polyurethane gym floors, and horribly rough on outside pavement.
-The Abec-3 bearings...at first I did not love them, but after a couple of thorough cleanings, I respect their cheap durability. The set was a mixed bag of good and less-than-good bearings. When they're dirty you'll know it -- everyone will because they get pretty noisy. But they do clean up well. I'm actually happier with the Abecs than I am with a second pair of Qubes I bought.
My intention with this second pair is to upgrade the wheels for my indoor skating, and use my original, taped-up pair for outdoors. Hope this helps, folks!

 Most comfy skate ever!Feb 07, 2011
By Kwoz
I don't like the womens speed skates, so I decided to look into the mens. I did some research and found out that I needed to order a size smaller than I would wear in womens. This skate was extremely comfortable right out of the box and after 4 hours of skating my feet weren't sore at all.

Beginner Derby SkatesJan 23, 2011
By Leah W.
I purchased these skates for outdoor beginner flat track derby. They have been quite sufficient to the task, however, TOE GUARDS ARE A NECESSITY. Basically without the leather flap toe guards (they hook under your toe stopper and go up and over the toe and tie through the laces) the boot will be worn through to your skin within a matter of days. Protect your investment and get the toe guards regardless of which skates you buy. Also, be aware that skates are ordered one to one and a half sizes below your normal women's shoe size. For instance, I wear a women's 9.5 shoe and wear a men's 8 in these skates. This is standard for all skates.
