K2 FIT Boa Inline Skates for Men - Adjustable Performance Skates for Fitness, Speed & Urban Skating | Perfect for Outdoor Exercise & Commuting

Disclosure, I ended up returning these after only a short use as they were too small as such, my experience is not that extensive. I normally wear a size 9 skate and shoe but for these I would have I needed a 9.5, or more likely a 10.Pro:The wheels at 84 mm are larger than your average recreational skate and that is enjoyable. Room for 90 mm is also great, if you wish to push the limit on your speed, then this is one step below going all the way and getting racing inline skates. The 80a wheels are the perfect blend for indoor/outdoor wheels. If you plan to take them indoors exclusively over a long period of time, look into replacing the wheels with something in the 76-78a range though.The quick lacing feature was very effective in that, no matter how tight the velcro or ratchet were, if there was room for the laces to tighten, it would tighten as if everything else was disconnected. With minor adjustments possible, I can see this being quite helpful, a bit gimmicky but still helpful regardless.Aluminum frames are not entirely standard within this price range as it is a happen addition.Cons:The biggest flaw is that the pressure is not equalized throughout the boot, even with a boot which should have been small on me, and replacing the stock sole, I still had a big of wiggle for my toes no matter how tight the ratchet 'laces' were. Conversely the top of the foot where the velcro is, was extremely constricted and was being pinched by all three locking mechanisms. (this was even after I took out the sole entirely, so it isn't because the boot was too small)The sole of the boot was hard as a rock and thin as paper. Within 3 minutes of putting them on I immediately switched out for athletic soles to add some cushion.There appeared to be a severe lack of any support above the ankle. While this may be desirable for some as it gives a bit of a racing skate feel without some extra protection. I found it defeating the purpose recreational skates. The ratchet is too low to support the shin and the potentially visually misleading quick lacing spinning ratchet adds no support beyond the velcro.Overall I did think if the boot was the proper size I could have dealt with quarks and begun to enjoy the shin freedom but not enough to call this a 5 star product. It can be comfortable though as with most skates it can have some issues where you can pinch in certain places, this one happens to be on the top of the foot unlike most which are the ankles. Strong quality frame and boot, cannot complain too much.
