Flying Eagle X5D Spectre
Skates - Black/Grey
5.0
Overview
The Flying Eagle X5D Spectre Skates have a cool looking transparent black shell design. Out of the box they skate 4x90mm wheels (4x84mm sizes EU36-40) with a natural rocker, but Liberty Frames have the versatility to also skate 3x100mm if/when wanting.
Maneuverability is high but can be increased thanks to the natural rocker to the outside wheels, making the X5D Skates a great choice for carving up the urban skating scene. Enjoy comfortable liners with neoprene finishes and a tongue with sealed edges for better fit and durability. No brake with this model.

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.

Customer Reviews
Flying on a budgetThis is my second pair of flying eagles and my first pair of 4x90s. The wheels, bearings, frames, lacing system, buckles, and liners are all of the highest quality despite the relatively low price point for a setup like this. They look even better in real life than they do in the pictures. I expect to be a loyal customer of this brand for years to come if they keep putting out such high quality products at such reasonable prices. I get stopped by curious strangers all the time while rocking these and I enjoy hyping this brand up and hopefully making a sale for them. sponsor me! XD
Great skates and good qualityOnly thing 3x110 wheels won’t fit! I had to use a dremel and shave down the center of the boot and shave down the front of the frames for the 110s to work.
The cheapest inline roller blades with wizardThe x5d has a beautiful wizard frame. The liner is a disaster and the boot is not the best. But I recommended them.
Very comfortable and stableA very nice skating experience you can get from this flying eagle.
Would buy again---but needs better insolesI swapped out the insoles with some insoles from an old pair of running shoes. The original insoles are unbelievably firm and uncomfortable. The rest of the boot is fine, though Ricardo Lino swapped out the boots for intuition liners when he demoed them on his YouTube channel. I understand why, now.
I really like the rockering of the wheels. They may not be perfect wizard skates, but they're very agile for such large wheels. I have much longer wheelbase skates for inline speed skating, and these skates feel unbelievably nimble. The wheelbase is only slightly longer than my old '90s skates that I'm replacing for skating around town, recreational slalom, and some roller hockey with friends. Honestly, they're pretty good all around skates. If the wheelbase were just a half inch longer, they might better suit my all around usage with a little more stability at higher speeds. At this price, they're pretty good skates. But you'll definitely want to replace the insoles.
