GOOD SKATE FOR THE MONEY!!
GREAT SKATES FOR THE MONEY!! My 2 daughters have popular brand skates that are $300 a pair which I have tried on and skated with. They are really nice and adorable!! I found these BTFL on Amazon and they looked comparable so I thought I would give them a try. Upon opening the box they looked so adorable and I couldn't wait to try them out ( having tried my daughters $300 skates beforehand). They fit just as good or better than my daughters skates!! Yay!! They are sized perfect in women's sizes. now to try them out!! They rolled pretty well out of the box but needed to adjust the wheels a bit as some of the wheels were a little tight or stiff. NEED TO BUY OR HAVE THE SKATE WRENCH TO ADJUST THEM IT DOES NOT COME WITH ONE (Wich is ok I just got one fairly reasonable on amazon). They rolled great after the adjustment. As you can see in my pictures I ordered chunkier pink wheels and pink laces (wich I also ordered on amazon) and they were pretty easy to change. I do like my chunkier pink wheels better than the ones the came with, but I'm a beginner and the wheels they came with said they were for advanced skaters. The main differences in the $300 vs these from BTFL are 2 less eyelet holes for your laces, not real suede leather ( but a VERY GOOD imitation!! ), white laces don't lay flat (they are the rounded kind), and wheels (wich are rounded for more advanced moves). Overall I am VERY HAPPY with the look, feel, and roll of these skates considering the great price.
