Premium Black Quad Roller Skates for Boys and Men Beginners Classic Adjustable High-Top Design for Indoor or Outdoor Skates and Roller Derby

These are great beginner/intermediate skates; I personally do not like how rigid the newer skate brands are. These skates make you feel supported, as well as provide enough flex. It was also important to me not to have leather skates. These are man-made. The wheels are probably fine for indoor skating. Do not skate with them as-is outdoors. I swapped the wheels for outdoor-rated wheels (78a hardness). Swapping wheels is easy - just unscrew and screw (but use a Y or T shaped skate tool). Chicago provides you with a cheap tool, but it will bend at first use and is not great. I wear a Ladies size 10 shoe, and fit the following skates: Mens 8, Ladies 9. Enjoy!

Great condition my teen loves his skates. Great wheels for beginners

Not sure why it says begginers but for me I can do more with this skates than my vlan and my Chicago bullet skates. Just wish it had more ankle support but otherwise I recommended this skates u will love them . I was scared to buy them seen I saw the bad reviews but maybe they were roughly not sure. But I been using mine normal. And I do speed and turn fine with them

The Chicago Men's rink skates are a value and comfortable. The only issue I had with these skates were the bearings only last a couple of hours and then you have to replace them which costs around $30. It would be better if they installed a higher quality bearing in the rollers so that this would not be an issue. Chicago Men's Rink Skate

These skates were falling apart basically after first use. I found after going around for 30 minutes at the skating rink that some of the bolts were so loose that I could undo them with my hands. Some other bolts were so tight that the skates didn’t move properly. I tried adjusting a lot of the bolts to get the feel right but nothing worked and I think the bearings are just completely terrible.

I wrote a review on the white and pink women's skating too. And I talk about these on that one too because I bought both for my daughters skates for Christmas they did not want the same color so my 13 year old got these black and blue one. She loves them. I got her the size 8 in men because I wanted to get a little bigger because I did not want to have to buy new skates all the time she wears a size 8 or 9 1/2 in women just depends on the shoes. She can wear my skates and they are 7 in women speed skates. If you would like to read what I wrote on my other review on the women white and pink skate the headline is the greatest gift

Love them

I consider myself an advanced skater and needed a pair of skates because I hadn’t owned any in ages. I remember I had some Chicagos in high school and early college that were wonderful. So I got these. Everything was fine until my stopper came off midsession and I fell. And the wheels rolled really slow no matter how I adjusted the skate. So I bought new wheels and tried to remove the bearings. Technically these bearings that come inside of the wheels are not supposed to be removed. Now you can remove them but it is not recommended and here’s why…I removed all bearings except for 2. Those 2 literally flew apart and threw balls all over the place. So I ended up having to purchase new bearings for the newer wheels I bought for these skates. I’d say if you’re into customizing your skates for the low I’d say go for it. They roll so much better with RBones bearings and a set of Moxi Riva wheels. Now I’m considering painting them bronze or rose gold with vinyl paint. If you’re a beginner and need a skate that won’t roll and slide and you can work with it out the box. These are it. Plus the boot is softer so you can move in them.
