this is muy 1st UFS skate after 8yrs of no skating..I began 25yrs ago with roces and many others...fattys 1st gen. being my best favs... I saw all your reviews from beginning and my decision was...u have the fortune of trying many models and choosing the best FOR YOUR COMFORT but you is you and no one else...so i chose the 2.5 last Nov and they are the best skates I ever had...like I always said when the 1st model...I was so stunned with design...to me it was like extraterrestrial tech applied to fattys...and they are...I'm so happy and not changing anytime soon...YOU IS YOU AND NOT ME..cheers

best front, back royale and farv i have seen you do. Was really on money!!! it is a shame that such a great grinder boot is let down by a strange anatomical design. let's hope they can fix it in the next 18-24 months before the next release

Agreed. Looking back these were so great for groove tricks. Bummed out that they hurt so much

had to sell my new haffey 2.1s because of this very problem, other than that i used to lace some steezy farvs and top souls with them ! 👌🏽

That smashed pinky toe issue has been a problem for a while now. The HR2.0 had the exact same problem. It's a shame. Remz used to be the most natural feeling skate out there! You can try aftermarket liners, but you'll need to stick with something fairly narrow in order to fit the boot. Reign v3 liners seem to work well and I'm currently running a MyFit Crown liner in a modified HR2.0 and it seems to be working well, although I did have to do some cutting inside the skate in order to make them fit. I'm enjoying your videos immensely, by the way. I'm in my early 40s and have been trying to get back to blading myself over the past few years, and you're definitely an inspiration to stick with it!

Thanks! I wanted to love them, just can’t hang with the pain.

Watching this back your groove tricks were so nice. My 6th toe hurts watching it though.

in 2010, I and most of my friends would have the M12 or something similar. A few guys had the (then much more expensive) Remz. They. Looked. Cool. Really cool. BUT they were floppy, your ankles had to do all the work, 0 support from the cuff, and yep, you are always in a "topside" position, even when rolling. With the Remz 2.0 or some like 5 years ago, they "fixed" this issue. But it's still here. You can only imagine how bad it was. fun fact: there was a craze with ppl skating remz cuffLESS. this, I've never tried. I've broken my heel, so now I'll get the eugen enin shadows. I used to have the xsjado farmer 3, and worked great for me, but are too worn out now.

Your first impressions video on these skates made me decide to go a different route and buy the GAWDS skates. So far I'm not regretting my decision.

Those look great! I need to find a pair. Thanks for watching

I have suspicion you are doing your royals switch side. I was doing same thing because rotation felt more natural but then i figured that my stronger foot should be in same position as if I did for example backslide.

can you do a video on buying used skates from craigslist etc please?

Just bought these cause they were finally in stock at rollers. Getting back into it myself after 15 years. I have a pair of Valos but I wanted another pair because shits hard to come by now. Worth the 300 bones for the rarity of them now ya know? 👌

I bought a remz in eu 43 put in a reign v3 in 42 I change the strap and put the top strap from my usd Bernal on it In my flat rolling is nice no floppy its fits perfect hope it will be Sam in skating them But your grinds look really nice with the remz delicious or *köstlich" how we say in German

I skate remz os4 for ages and yea thats the same issue for every remz skate i think, my toes hurts, my 6th toe hurts, but the soulplate is great

IIRC, you own a skate store? I really respect your honesty in this review. In reviews from other store owners, I'll sometimes get the impression that they don't like a product, but they don't want to go as far as saying it because they've got to sell it 😃

Like Al said. I do represent Oak City whenever possible as it’s my local skate shop, but I pay full price and don’t get a commission or anything.

remz us8 0701 The toe width is one index finger longer than us9 2.0 & 2.5 New improvements shrink the toe cap So you can’t buy the same size as before But must be one size larger

I used to skate the Remz 04 with the suede outers and loved them! Especially when you cut the V out the back. Are these similar to them?

mostly rems , have v cut and its vary , the reason rems is mixed hard shell plastic bottom and leather on top very flex for rails

I came back to blading and I always wanted to own a pair of remz skates, but I ended up very disappointed : size 11 felt like size 9, then I got size 13, that felt like size 10 then I gave up, these skates are very heavy with Flt3 antirocker setup they are the heaviest at around 1 lbs each (2320grams) and the liner wiggles in the shell. Wanted to love these skates, but it didn't happen.

So remz are for folks with wide feet?

This skates remind me remz franky morales from 2006-07!

Totally

I feel that anybody above a size 9 in remz seems to have issues with their feet/pinky toe hurting. I used to have to position my feet and tie my laces perfectly for them to not hurt, but even then it never lasted long. I wore a size 11 but my brother had a size 9 and although my toes were cramped in his skates, the sides of my feet felt fine. I feel as though they get too slim in bigger sizes. Idk though lol

That might explain it

So would you say the remz are close to width like the razor genesys? I'm looking for different boot options but having wide feet it's hard to find anything at all.

@BacktoBlading

2 жыл бұрын

No, these were pretty narrow with pain points in the toes. Genesys or 5th elements are your best bet

remz toe. I miss the old school remz. i have both these and the previous 2.0 and I had to go up a size I do find the 2.0 better then the 2.5 personally.

Damn, that’s a big skate then!

I used rems nile Janson white , rems Josiah blee they are so nice but strictly made for gaps and street skate and grind rails its locked in any angle that's why rams is best for street skating not park setup

and will take your advice and not buy them. Thanks for the honest review!

Law, would be cool to hear from you about USD Carbons. Are they “carbon USD 7s”? :)

If anyone seeing this has a pair of these Remz HR2.5 in size UK 11, US 12, EU 46 either boot only or complete whatever you got and you're looking to get rid of them then let me know! Cheers ✌️

Too bad the Remz didn’t fit you because style wise your grinds looked amazing. I was getting a sixth toe issue with my Sebas but they broke in after a few sessions and I can’t fit into PowerSlide shells so it is understandable that different feet require different boots.

Yeah, I was pretty bummed too. I love my style in these skates. But if I hurt after 30 minutes I can’t hang

I like Remz but the new size seems smaller than before, my feet are 26.6cmm, I must shrink my toes when wearing us9

It’s a tough skate to fit

I got a size bigger just in case...I cut the excess material on the liner, tried them with Intuition...THEY HURT They are solid skates, feel great, a bit heavy but my right foot hurts, all the time no matter what liner and also being a bigger size I thought it'd be great.NOPE Definitely not a skate for me. I'll stick to my Aeons...anyone wants Remz HR 2.5? edit: I'm done try ing skates, I'll just get a pair of Adapt and stick to those

Yeah, I forget to mention how heavy they were in the review. I figure people who know they love Remz and fit Remz will just get them regardless. So much potential!

I think this is one of the first negative reviews I've ever seen you do.

You haven’t seen my K2 Front Street then. Or my Roces 5th. I try to be positive but I keep honest

Ive never been a fan of the remz, always felt they looked unnecessary bulky. Also had a friend who insisted they are "the best" who couldn't skate in them for more than a half-hour. I think people who are a fan off remz will either put up with the discomfort or mod them to death trying to mitigate it

I feel like Remz get a lot of bad press and I never got it. I think they fit incredibly well and they're definitely my comfiest skate. I had to of course change the stock liner cuz they're absolute trash, but with that they're amazing. Laced up as tight as they can go they offer me great support and I can get topside with the flex without the pain of a cuff digging in like I get with say the USD Carbon. And and you discovered they grind incredibly well, the heel lock is especially awesome for rails! I'm sad to see they didn't work out for Law and many others, it's such a shame that everyone can't get the same experience I have with them.

Pause @ 2:08-2:09...or better yet 2:31 in slo-mo. This is what folks often point out. Do you not see that? First of all, you referenced AO porn & soul. Alley-oop & Zero grinds are completely 2 different things. Rolling fakie, jumping & grinding the direction you're already going prior to jumping is not the same thing as going forward, jumping 180° & grinding the opposite the direction you were initially going. That's a completely different skill set.
