Overview
The Flying Eagle X5D Spectre Skates have a transparent black shell design. Out of the box, they skate with 4x90 wheels to be fast, smooth, and stable with good-length frames. Maneuverability is high but can be increased thanks to the ability to rocker the outside wheels. The Liberty Frames can also accommodate a 3x100 setup.
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
Missed opportunityI've been using the F5S's for 2 years, and after trying and failing to find any information on exactly how to rocker the axles, I finally just got different-sized wheels, and ended up with a deep rocker.
I bought this model after watching some reviews and doing some research, and decided to give them a try. There are no inline skates shops less than 2 hours away, so this website is my only option for now. I was excited about the frames, and thought they might feel like wizards. But I'm very disappointed. It would seem like the company would have continued to follow their formula of smaller feet=smaller wheels. Maybe they did, but after skating for about an hour, I couldn't feel it, and I finally gave up. The skates are fast, and comfortable, and they snake and glide decent enough, but man are they clumsy. It felt like I was wearing flippers. They're advertised as having a "slight rocker" but they felt very flat, and simple tricks were hard to land.
I think they missed out on the opportunity to showcase these frames with smaller wheels included. Sending back and sticking with a smaller wheel on a less fancy frame.
