Overview
The Flying Eagle FBS Skates are an incredibly priced hard boot package with extruded aluminum frames They even are tricked out with a natural rockered wheel setup (smaller wheels in the first and fourth positions) to be a nice, inexpensive package for urban skaters or anyone (if purchased with aftermarket brake).
They feature extruded aluminum 231mm frames (max 76mm) on sizes EU37-EU40 and 243mm frames (max 80mm) on EU41-EU46. The frames can skate with all wheels being the same size, but out of the box the come naturally rockered with smaller wheels in the first and fourth positions. There are no special rocker axles to rotate, just smaller wheels in those positions to give agility right out of the box. The smaller skate sizes have 72mm wheels on the outside with 76mm in the middle, while the larger skate sizes have 76mm wheels on the outside and 80mm in the middle. The frames are strong extruded aluminum, and the liners are comfortable. The cost savings compared to others in the Flying Eagle lineup is substantial, with savings coming via a more basic liner, non-replaceable sliders, and plastic cuff and ratchet buckles.

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.
