Overview
The Flying Eagle Drift 2 Carbon Skates are Flying Eagle's flagship freestyle slalom skates. They are known to slide, jump, and move reliably and with precision. Handmade carbon boots are very strong and lightweight. With very nice attention to detail, they have red metallic highlights on a black boot and a shiny fresh frame design.
The frames are made of CNC-machined 6000 Aircraft Aluminum with single-piece axles. They have a slight banana-rocker out of the box but can adjust to skate flat. They have 4 closures for an optimal fit including standard lacing, a 45-degree micrometric strap, a cuff ratchet buckle, and a velcro toe strap. Integrated liners provide a snug, firm fit for efficient response.
A flex area between the buckles allows for comfortable ankle movement. The fit is close, yet a bit wider around the toe area which gives you a lot of control while still riding comfortably. The liners also have a carrying strap with "Flying Eagle" embroidered across it.

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.
