I'm impressed with what he can squeeze his 28.5 feet in to sometimes!
sometimes i b watching just to see what skates are in the back. always some classic
Very informative as always.
So helpful thank you! Getting back into the game at 40 here!!!
Great video 🔥🔥🔥
I wear a 9.5 size shoes, what size of rollerblades I need, can anyone help me, thanks.
Love the videos. Question, because I used to agressive skate from 98-02 but haven’t touched a pair of rollerblades since then and I forgot how they feel.. over the years of playing basketball and football in high school I fucked my ankle so bad that the right one just feels permanently weak… question is, do inline skates offer good ankle support? I really don’t want to fick my shit up but I’ve been wanting to get back into blading for years now

Do ankle excercises. Use easy ones for start and do not push too hard. Also try some ankle protection/support open socks like MyFit Footies etc.
Crazy how expensive skates have become..... I remember when the Dom Sagona UFS Throne came out with Fiziks @ $400+ which was kind of unheard of. And it was the three piece soul plates!

My oxygens were like 300.00 something in the late 90s. I'd say skates have stayed pretty flat in price. IMHO

Hey mate, great vid, very informative! How have the Reign v3 treated you in the Genesys boot? Still good now its been a minute? I'm getting the same pain you did, after getting back into it, I replaced my old G4.1s but oh my do I miss my old Jug liners, the white V3s look similar and its all under the Sunshine group so felt promising. The insole insert though in the V3 is actually the same as the ones in Razors stock liners which was a little concerning, any input is much appreciated bud, love what you're doing over here!

I wear a 10.5 Bauer Vapor they are a tiny bit big I only wear a size 10 shoe, I am planning on upgrading to Tours and they say a shoe size and a half down but I think I should get a size 10, what do you think?
My foot is 26cm and the skate I want says I need a 8-8.5 should I get a size bigger like a 9-9.5 or that 8-8.5?
@BacktoBlading

Depends on which skate. 26cm is usually a size 7, so the 8 is probably fine.
Any advice on the Roces M-12 about the sizing? I’m like you. 28.5 in my bigger foot.

If you have a wide foot, look elsewhere. If you’re normal or skinny you might be able to make the 44 work
Just ordered the Rollerblades RB Pro X skates in size 11 from Dicks sporting goods and they sent me a size 9! I’m so sad because I was really excited to start them out today. However I was surprised that I could get them on, it was just really tight. Now I can’t find any size 11 anywhere so I’m hoping that I can get a size 10 somewhere and that they will fit. I really wish I could try them on in store but there are none around me 😭

It’s a tough time, so few shops left. I bet you could fit a 10
I'm also a 28.5 on one foot and a 28 on the other. I ended up going with Them 909s in a Large but I think I could maybe do the Mediums with a thinner liner in the future.

@@RH__1 Thanks for the info! I wish I would have had a place to try them on. The larges are working fine, but there's a little heel lift on the smaller foot. I'm going to get some hockey laces to see if I can wrap around the skate for a better hold. But yeah, definitely thinking about the Medium next time. I love the skates in general.

Thanks for the video!!! I have a question...I'm looking at purchasing the mesmer John Bolino skates and my foot is 30.48cm so I was wondering would the size 47 be a good size to purchase?

Is the myth about roces m12 is extremely narrow true? All the information online is confusing me, my foot is 26,5cm in length and about 10cm in width, is that consider as wide? Thanks man!
@BacktoBlading

Yes, very narrow. For 10cm at 26.5, you look pretty wide. Normal D width is 9.6cm wide for 26.5 length cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0723/9035/files/US_Mens_Shoe_Chart_1024x1024.png

@@BacktoBlading thanks for the response man! So, with m12 should i go with eu42 (270mm) or eu43 (280mm)? Considering the 43 is on the bigger shell size.
I’m a shoes size us 11 and have wide feet what fast urban complete slate would fit well? I’m willing to spend up to 500. The rollerblade twister xt looked nice but heard it’s only for narrow feet.

There are plenty out there who lists US 11. Integrated liners: - Powerslide HC Evo Pro - FR iGor if not on sale they might be out of budget - Seba High Light / Carbon same as FR iGor - Rollerblade Crossfire (if you fit them, I really would go for them, they are premium for what you get) Urban Skates: - would still try the Twister xt or some Edge - Adapt - Powerslide Next (would only go for black, because I have seen some reddit posts killing the coloured Next shells, and they seem to be for narrow feet aswell but still would try them) - FR Skates like the FR1 - Iqon CL 20 many more It really depends on your taste of type of skates, the style of your skating aswell. Wouldn't sink too much of a thought on width though. For example HC Evo Pros are said to fit narrow feet. I at least think I have a wide feet (yet between D and E I will measure it again later). But the width fit, not the size though.

As I said I fit the HC Evo Pros in width. Maybe this will help even more.
