Specifications
| KEY TECHNOLOGIES | |
|---|---|
| Trinity X Mounting The combination of the 'along' mounting block of the boot with the 'across' mounting slot of the frame. This allows for frame adjustment both laterally (7mm) and front to back (8mm) to individual preference and/or to correct ankles from wanting to roll (pronation/supination). Trinity frames mount at three points with two off-set winged mounts under the ball of the foot that creates a channel for the wheels to lower the skate, adding stability and power at push-off. | |
| HABS Height Adjustable Brake System An easy and secure brake that allows for the brake pad to adjust up and down to prolong the life of the rubber. A rear axle that is threaded at both ends allows for the installation and removal of the brake with four outer screws that eliminate having to remove the axle or wheel. |

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. How to Try on Inline Skates for Fit. | |
| FIT GUIDELINES: Use foot measurement for the most precise fit. Add .5cm to the measurement for extra room at the toe or if wider feet. |

Comments: Not a great design on the ratcheting mechanisms. No smooth way to undo the straps.

Comments: Great skates! My first expensive pair of skates and having the adjustable frames is a really great feature. As far as the other review stating there are issues with the latches/buckles...I disagree. The buckles are a bit different than what I'm used to, but once you get used to them they're great. For the top cuff strap, you open the latch, and lift the clip on the other side and pull the strap out. For the bottom buckle, you have to push a little button in and to the inside of the skate, then pull the strap out. Having the bottom strap is great since it ratchets your foot in place. I'm usually a size 10 for a shoe, but I got a size 9 despite measuring for a size 8.5. They were tight but are breaking in well.
