So helpful!!! Just about every other Impala skate review really had my second guessing my recent purchase of them. Your review was great and helped me be reassured and not regret my purchase. I'm just trying to have fun and skate and skate dance around and HAVE FUN 😂🙏🏽 MANY many thanks for this video

“Obviously, by my accent, I live in Australia”. Really! So cute!

This is just the video I needed, I just ordered some impalas and I’m a beginner so wish me luck lol

Thanks for the video. I ordered a pair today. Had been waiting for a restock. I ordered another brand about a month ago, and they are now being delivered in January. Thanks for the tutorial, makes me feel a bit better about my purchase.

This is such a great and thorough review! I really love your energy and vibe. So glad I found your channel! 💕

i dont use the 3rd eyelets for my laces, i loop them around the boot and tie them after the 2nd eyelets for more movement

Awesome review, you covered off everything so nicely, thank you so much, about to buy some Impalas today :)

Thank you for this video! It helped me a lot! I was very worried because I just ordered impala’s and I was second guessing the purchase. Now I’m sure that my purchase wasn’t bad 😅

This was very helpful. I use my skates for Indoors and was wondering if these are good

i thought i was the only one who had a big scuff at the tip of my skates , of course my first time getting skates was last christmas . and i usually just skate at rollerama . i also have that sound coming from my skates so im finally getting new wheels thanks hannah

Thank you so much for the review, super helpful!

I was literally about to order these skates right before finding your video because Impala recently restocked them. I'm so glad I caught this video, especially since there aren't many videos that do real reviews.

my impalas are coming in a week, this helped, thenks

Are these good out of the box to go to the skating rink?

I bought impalas which are coming next week but my Moxies are on back order til January. Winter willing, I’m going to try to get as good as possible.

Trop cool cette protection de roller! pouvez-vous me dire où la trouver?merci

Hey Hanna! I love your video, I have a bad knee but I’m still gonna skate, I wanted to know if your legs got thick cause I need to build some muscle to protect my ligaments, how long does it take to build hard muscle? Thanks for paying attention to this question :)

@Hannah-ru8ob

3 жыл бұрын

My legs are definitely stronger but I’d recommend doing additional exercise to build muscle first - maybe see a personal trainer or physio :)

With any roller skate, a good sign of quality is going to be a stitched, rather than glued boot to keep it from separating from the sole. Buy quality. Buy once.

@Hannah-ru8ob

I definitely agree if you’re serious about skating, however if you think you’re the kind to skate for 2 hours and never use skates again you might as well throw away $180 instead of $400+

@Hannah-ru8ob

4 жыл бұрын

Gravelmouthed I found the width to be fine, and my friend with wider feet has no issues either. I wouldn’t say there is a quick wear in period cause they are quite rigid. If you skate daily then maybe 2 weeks

What about the wheel hardness do they skate well on rough roads?

@Hannah-ru8ob

Whomest Grace they aren’t the gummiest wheels - they’re not horrible but you can definitely get a wheel upgrade and feel the difference 😊

I soooo love this pattern, but I'm affraid that this shiny ones won't let my skin breath for few sweaty hours. Could you compare them with a regular surface skates? Are they friendly for your skin? Won't they make you sweat more?

@Hannah-ru8ob

2 жыл бұрын

They won’t make you sweat more than other impalas from my experience, as the other materials aren’t very breathable either.

Thanks this was super useful!

You shouldnt have to get new wheels, bearings and toe stops after only four months. No matter how much you skate. And the fraying at the ankle and pulling apart at the heel isn't good at all. BTW the Moxis have just skyrocketed in $ I just sold mine as I wasnt really wearing. I prefer my Chaya skates--love them. Only cost $200 new and holding up beautifully after 2.5 years of thrashing on roads (about 10km per week). I also have a $1,000 pair of Riedell but the Chaya have been the bomb. Great honesr review. Enjoy your next pair 😊
