K2 Uptown Inline Skates look like a sneaker, but they can do a whole lot more. A snug and responsive urban freeskate with 80mm wheels and frames that are rockerable at every wheel position simply by flipping the frame spacer. UFS mounting means they are compatible with any aggressive grinding frame.
If installing aggressive UFS frames, the souls are fast and slide great, but are not replaceable. The stock frames are strong, extruded aluminum for urban skating, but they are not meant for grinding. Comes with a brake and extra axle for its removal, 80mm 85A wheels, and TwinCam ILQ7 bearings. They are easy enough to skate by all that love their look, but their capabilities and price target intermediate and better skaters. Designed for both men and women, sized in men's sizing.

| 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.

Previous Feedback
Comments: The revival of the K2 Fatty! The same classic skate from the 90s, with an updated, non-aggressive aluminum frame and 80mm wheels. (Don't worry, if you still want to get your Royale Grind on, you can switch out the frames on the new version!) They still fit like sneakers, and have a quick-lace system, so getting them on is easy. I highly recommend these skates, even if you're just a leisurely aerobic skater out crushing laps around the neighborhood. Five Stars!

Comments: These skates are amazing! I wear a eu38 in everything, but I had to buy a eu39 in these so my feet wouldn't lose circulation. I didn't lace up the last two holes, and I'm able to have full motion. They are a very supportive skate, and the wheels have plenty of grip to them. Inline warehouse was wonderful and returning was very simple.
