Sizing Chart
| GENERAL SKATE SIZING GUIDELINES |
|
|---|---|
| Measure both feet with socks similar to those in which you intend to skate. Then use the measurement of the longest point and reference the model-specific size chart to determine size. How to Measure Your Feet for Skates. | |
| Proper fit has the toes not being cramped against the front. Toes may slightly brush the front as heels will settle back when in the skating position. Try on skates indoors while in a seated position. Lace and buckle both skates, tap your heels to the floor, and then stand and bend your knees to simulate the skating position. How to Try on Inline Skates for Fit. | |
| FR liners break in with skate time to free up more room. A snug fit from the start is good. * FR made a running change adjusting the US size on some sizes to more closely correspond measurements that correspond to US sizing for that size. The skate box (and/or tongue) may read 11.0/11.5 or 13.0/13.5 while this occurs, while the size of the skate will remain the same (EU, MP, and CM). |

Fast shipping, great pricing, great productGreat product and I got it on sale for black Friday. Came in good condition. Delivered in 1 day!! I ordered it around 4am Friday and it delivered around 2 Saturday. It says shipping is longer outside of california though so don't expect fast shipping anywhere else.
No buyers remorse hereI agree with an earlier poster. I purchased the FR2 80s to skate, but designed with this incredible look, I do not want to fall and scuff their appearance.
I followed the sizing recommendations of Inline Warehouse outlining my foot, and basing selection around the larger measured foot. Surprising, my left foot measures close to size 11, and my right foot is slightly under. I am at regular 28cm\EU 44 size 10 US, and chose size 10.5 in these skates being in between US size 10 and 11. Out of the box the 10.5 fit perfectly where there is no pinch or pressure at the base or perimeter of my foot. Each credible review I watched emphasized any FR skate below the FR1 come with a plush liner making it necessary to size up. The FR1 comes fitted with a thinner liner which necessitates going a size down. The liner in these FR2 80s is amazingly supportive. I did not need to strap, or tie in too tightly feeling snugly secure inside the boot.
Originally, I intended buying the Rollerblade XT model (I Still Love My Rollerblade Twister 80s). Kind of glad now they were out of stock allowing me to branch out and see what FR had to offer. I am not disappointed. Inline Warehouse, Thank You for fantastic service every Every Time..!!!
Exactly what I was hoping for and moreI got these a month ago after doing many months of research into what kind of skates to get and I am super pleased with these skates! I anticipated a rough break in period but was surprised at how comfortable they were right out of the box! My previous pair were soft boot rollerblades and I felt limited on my skill growth. These fr2's have allowed me to grow significantly with my skill set while never having to worry about foot pain. My only issue I have with these skates is that I hate falling and scuffing up these beauties! The top buckle and 45 buckle give me such a firm grip on my foot it feels like an extension of myself. Super responsive and agile especially since I always have them rockered. So far after a month of skating on them every single day, I can't find a single thing wrong with them. I hope others can experience the awesomeness that is fr skates!
My love for skating has returned!These skates are amazing. They fit perfectly and very snug, fast and smooth. With the ability to rocker them, you open up the possibility of ease of freestyling as well. I plan to have these for a long time to come! Haven't skate since I was teenager, and now I can't stop skating. Highly recommend!
Amazing serviceEverything about this purchase was great. Great product and super quick shipping.
Best skate I've ownedI was torn between the FR1 and FR2 and ended up getting the FR2 because of the cheaper price point and rockerable frame. I ended up buying the FR1 metal buckle as a cheap upgrade which has made a big difference. FR uses one shell size for multiple shoe sizes, I’d encourage you to get the smallest shell that you can comfortably fit (note the liner will be tight to start but loosen in a few hours skating).
The wheelbase at 243mm is shorter than I like so I ended up upgrading to endless frames but there’s nothing wrong with the stock frames, especially if you have a smaller foot
SatisfiedThe skates were exactly what I expected, satisfied with the skates and the ordering process. Thanks Inline Warehouse.
Too bigBased on the recommendation from IW, I purchased my shoe size. When I first put on the skates they felt large overall, yet my toes were painfully crunched. So I pulled out the liner and put my foot in the shell. The shell was huge. At the same time my toes were still crammed in the liner and I had to take them off because they hurt too much. And when I put the liner in the shell, it didn’t seem to take up the whole space lengthwise. Perhaps a wrong sized liner was included with the shell? The shell itself seems to be of good quality and if you can get one to fit, I would recommend the FR2 or FR1, but choose a size smaller than your shoe size or follow the FR sizing guide. BTW Inline Warehouse promptly processed the return and credited my account. Thank you.
5/5You get what you pay for. Solid materials and even better feel. First week of getting them I did 20 miles in them.
Best bang for your buck"You get what you pay for" - absolutely applies here!
There are more expensive skates. Some of those more expensive skates may be nicer than the FR2. These skates hit the sweet spot for me. Almost the same features as the more expensive FR1 for ~20% less cost.
If you need the metal buckle or fancier color options, then splurge for the FR1. Otherwise... GET THESE SKATES! Especially folks with larger feet. Slap a different set of frames under these boots and you'll be happy, happy, happy.
Great skatesIt’s been 20 years since I skated, was mostly a hockey player. Fun to find skating again. After a fair bit of research I went with these FR2 80’s. I wanted a hard boot and I wanted 80mm wheels. The FR skates were said to work for people with wider feet which is why I went with them. My foot measures 253mm long and 105mm wide. I initially went with the EU39/US 7. Based on some other resources online. I had to return that size and go with a EU40/US7.5 the boot fits great and it has broken in over about 50 miles to where it fits comfortably and tight. Definitely an aggressive break in period on these. If you can wear them without serious pain I’d recommend keeping them. They break in probably a half size.
I went with the FR2 over the FR1 because I was really drawn to the ability to Rocker the frame. A functionality I can confirm is awesome. I will say the top ratchet on these FR2 skates is not great and I’m sure the metal ratchet on the FR1 is better. For me tho, the ability to Rocker the frame is worth some of the quality of life sacrifices the FR2 makes. I also have the FRX 310. And will comment that the FR2 is well worth the upgrade over the FRX if you are between those two. (I bought the FRX 310 on sale as it was cheaper than just buying a new frame, wheels and bearings for my FR2)
Also Inline Warehouse is great and the return process on the first skates that were too small was easy.
Perfect!I am delighted with these roller skates. This is an affordable and advanced model. Suitable for freeskating, slalom and just riding in the park. A strong aluminum frame, and strong bearings allow you to develop high speed and jump, and the ability to rocker the wheels makes it easy to maneuver, which is very cool for slalom! I will share my experience on how to not lost in sizes. On my measured 5.5 size 5 roller skates fit very well. Size 6 rollers were too big, had to be changed.
Cool!I've been using this for 2 weeks and it works great!
Not a proficient user to say much thoo, but love it anyway
