Comments: I've put around 200 miles on my FR1s since I bought them a few months ago. They perform really well for all the city skating I do (sidewalks, bike paths, some busy blvds.) I love the short frame length, the wheels are as close as possible making for a great amount of control. I love being able to snap my skates any which way, and these feel very sturdy at any speed or angle. I find lacing up a bit tricky with the buckles scratching at my hands, but they barely need to be tightened at all, the wratchet-buckle gives you plenty of tightening power (the laces do make a small difference, I would never take them off). My biggest complaint is the protruding edges on the insides of the boots, somethings caught my feet together a couple times when I've jumped and let them brush each other in the air -it's just one extra thing to think about, not such a big deal any more. I found the upper buckle's leverage inferior to my last Rollerblade's RB8 buckle, but the glove-like fit of the liner is the best I've come across, I can easily skate unlaced and unbuckled -I do it to loosen up sometimes. These skates are very responsive, leaving the fronts of my feet pretty sore and exhausted from all the bumpiness after 12-15 miles -the payback is that my feet feel more sure of themselves, like I can turn and stop on a dime.

Comments:Great skates I would definitely order one size up from shoe size. I got shoe size as I usually do and they make my toes fall asleep everytime without fail. My K2s and others never did that. They're not uncomfortably tight but it keeps me from enjoying them for long. Very high quality skates/parts. I got mine new off Ebay before you could order these in the states so it's great to see someone here carry them!

Comments:Best ever allround skates... from cruising, to hockey, up to hardcore freeride/style! Great confort, high responsivness, removal parts... just think maybe about adding absorbing insoles for big jumps. Choose your shoe size, not more because inside foam will move a bit. Hoping those advices reach to new happy riders!

Comments:Best all around skates money can buy. I've skated since the early 90's And these are the best performing skates I've had.
