LPAMEOIU Roller Skates for Women,Flashing-Wheel Double Row Man Quad Skate for Kid(Blue,Women 7/Men 5.5)

LPAMEOIU Roller Skates for Women, 4 Flashing Wheels, Black - I received these within 2 days of placing my order, via UP*S; yes, I'm shocked too. Thank you so much to the Wal*mart marketplace seller for not shipping via Fed*ex, or I may not have ever received them or they likely would've arrived damaged and 3 weeks later. I was very excited to receive them so quickly and in new condition. I highly recommend these skates and from this seller. I got a fantastic deal on these black skates in comparison to similar colors and styles, my patience was frugal. Inside the box was also a carrying skate bag, extra bearings a socket wrench and instructions. The skates were nicely wrapped in reusable, individual dust cloth cover bags as well. I was very impressed with the entire order, contents and swift shipping process. Please note, as with any item you purchase with bolts and screws and whatnot, ALWAYS go through each one and hand tighten them (just snug, don't strip out the threads by over-tightening). With that mentioned, before I even put them on and laced them up, I snugged each wheel bolt, especially one front wheel on each skate. One front wheel on each skate was loose and if you ordered flashing wheels and your wheels didn't flash (like those two on my skates were not flashing), it's because YOU need to tighten them bolts down with the supplied socket wrench. Once I snugged all the wheels up, I was getting all kinds of flashing and ready for my flash show! As far as quality, I think they're decent. If I wanted to pay top dollar, I'm sure I could've found a better quality skate made of genuine leather or such. I am completely satisfied with the material. Because I have not relearned to skate yet, this experience will be a work in progress, therefore I can't comment yet on how they'll hold up in the long run. But for now, to get reacclimated, they'll get the job done. The only quality issue I can possibly foresee, is perhaps an eyelet may pop out. But not a big deal to me, so long as I can still lace them up. That's not even to say it will happen. As far as shoe size, I'm normally a women's 8w or 8.5 regular. I ordered the women's 8, which apparently is also a 38, according to the sticker placed on them. Now because I have some chubby feet, the skate is a tad bit narrow through the ball width, but it's actually not too tight though. I think it will give way as I break them in. I couldn't ask for a better fit really, for winging it. If you order a little too big, you can always add a shoe insert, which helps, and/or wear double/thick socks. I think if I would've ordered a 9 women's, they would've been a little sloppy in length, but probably a looser fit on the ball width. But I'd rather it fit my foot length, as relearning to skate is going to be challenging enough, I need the snug support. The length is not snug, as Goldie Locks said, it's just right. Wish me luck, it's been near 40 years since I've roller skated last, but it's for fun and exercise.

Ok so I've never skated in my life except for one disastrous birthday party when I was six. Watching the Olympics I decided I want to learn to skate - on ice eventually but that's not affordable right now so I decided to learn to roller skate as a first step. I'm practicing inside my apartment and not telling anyone lol and then when I get decent I'll pull them out sometime and shock my family because it's very out of character. Anyway my budget is small and my size in the blue was only $24 so I went for it. I like that the blue looks a little more classic/elegant/not tween girlish. I know nothing about skates but I wouldn't have guessed these were this cheap if I saw someone else wearing them. I am a size 8.5 and I size up if there are only whole sizes. I bought an 8.5 in these skates and it fits perfectly with thick socks, if I'm pretty sure a 9 would've been too large to try to make it work. You can only tighten them so much with the laces because the tongue is kind of thick. They don't come laced so that was slightly annoying but that might be how they're so cheap. Overall for my complete inexperience and having used them for about an hour indoors I'm quite happy. The only quality thing that I'm questioning is that there's kind of a crack or seam inside the heel of both boots. I'm pretty sure it's just cosmetic and that they're not going to fall apart but hopefully that's accurate. Also they don't have much if any arch support so maybe you want to get insoles if that's an issue for you - I still wouldn't size up though, personally. Also it's an even lighter/more pastel blue than the product photos look on my phone screen but that's a plus for me.
