This is by far the best, most fair, most accurate review of this skate.

Back Savannah both ways !

Nice edit. Great review. Phenomenal skating!

Great review. Seems like if you have a 275mp and a somewhat wide foot, these will not be roomy enough in the toebox. I've noticed several reviewers having this same issue. Some skates have an issue with hardware bits being sharp or sticking out a little bit. My main go to is to tape over the hardware parts that are sharp with electric tape. You can use craft foam plus the e-tape for parts that stick out more. This will protect your liners. I did this with my Factions. The inner cuff screws are very sharp. I didn't want my liners getting cut up or my hands when removing the liner. E-tape worked perfectly. I use Uline electric tape. Its sturdy and will not slide off in the heat, which is what cheap electric tape will do. Hope this info helps anyone out there, especially my fellow Faction-eers.

And yet you keep ignoring me. Put me in the game, coach!

I definitely want to skate a pair now!!!

Great review. I picked up the Omni small shell and run a Reign V3 liner in a size 6.5 UK. I’m a 255mm mondo. I need to run both heel pads to get enough toe room, and I had to heat mould twice to stop the heel pinching. I still get a little bit of ankle pain after long sessions. However - to skate, I absolutely love them. They feel incredibly solid and supportive. Great sound on grinds and drops. Slide great for me. I’m just getting back into skating after a 12 year hiatus, and these skates have been superb to me so far. Royales feel solid and I was getting topsides on ledges after a couple of sessions. I need to skate them more to see what happens, but overall I completely agree with your review! Great launch product for a new brand, let’s see where they are in a year…

A very fair review... I think many people, myself included, had an emotional connection to the Omni even before it was released. Law was so open with the r&d that you felt involved. I'm hoping I can skate and enjoy them and the don't end up on the naughty shelf with my Brutale's. Both cuffs, as you highlight, cause similar pain through the rigidity.

Great review and amazing skating as always my g! 🙌❤️

Babe, you’re making me blush.

Thanks for this very honest review! Totally agree about cuff stiffness. About fitting, I had the invert problem: I began with my skinny boy liners (bought shell only), boot length is perfect for me but my narrow feet were literally swimming sidway and up/down in the front of the boot. And worst, like other people, I had horrible ankle pain near the last eyelet. Since I swap to fatboy liner (think is the same with crowns) + myfit footies donut ankle protection, no more issue. The fitting on the front is perfect and the thickness of the fatboys "cuff" allow me to ride with a very loose buckle tightening and bend easily on royals. I was very circumspect at the beginning with this skates. Now I love them! If this comment can help narrow feet people like me...

Great review honestly

Standard could bring out bolted cuffs and sell cuffs with different durometer options for the next iteration of the omni perhaps? Its something i'd love to see a company do. Cuffs are almost always too stiff for me, which I why I skate Shadows right now.

The cuff situation should be an obligatory fix. Sell soft cuffs pleeaaase!!!

Not sure if you tried it, but it's easier to stretch out the boot without the soul plate attached. This has worked for me on other skates, I haven't tested it on the Omni.

Heat moulding them three times was enough for me. I really don’t enjoy modifying skates at all!

If you're looking at a skate. Check and see if Dave did a review yet. Helped me with buying the sway 58s👍🏽💯

Thanks for mentioning that bolt/liner thing-checked and noticed the outside of my Intuitions getting a bit roughed up😮. Anyway I like them ok so far-just have to get the heel height right. I have both Standard ones in there, but I am gonna go Full Send again and put the Intuition one back in as well. Whether the cuff is stiffer or not, I can make do…maybe I’m not doing royales proper, but I’ve grooved in my backslide and frames quite a bit to make it work, and I’m optimistic the cuff will soften in time. Like you said though, it’s not a crazy investment to just get the shell only, so not a lot lost if I have to go back to 909s.

among your best videos

I also tried to squeeze into the large shell. Definitely wasn’t happening. Way too small for me 😅😅

You should try round 2 with the shoe stretcher. Perhaps a different brand of shoe stretcher. My right foot is also slightly bigger thn my left like yours. I made it work though. Try double stacking the standard shocks with no intuition shock absorber in. The intuition shock is super soft and imo not useful for anyone over 150 lbs. Since it's soft I think is also takes away responsiveness as well. Dead shock absorbers are a good option too to add on top of the standard ones. I use the dead L/XL Dead shocks in the small shell and that gave me more room in the toe. Thanks for the honest review. Hopefully you can get your hands on the softer cuff versions and do a review. Cheers bruv

I don’t like stacking heel pads. I don’t like my foot feeling high in the shell.

You should try taking the intuitions velcro cuff off. Will give you a bit more room and probably won't make the skate quite as stiff

have you tried fixing the length by stacking the white and black heel pad? if its not too high of a heel raise it would give you a few more millimeters in length

@wheelsceneblading

Ай бұрын

I hate how that feels. I can't have multiple thick heel pads on top of each other.

My suggestion is use the myfit 2nd skin. That liner is thinner than the intuition V2. I agree with the sizing. It’s a bit short. I am using size Large standard shell with intuition premium size 9-9.5 liner. They fit me great lengthwise (282 mondo). They fit about the same as the Them 909 shmedium. For the three shells (standard Large, them 909 shmedium, Roces 5th element size 8-9), they all are similar in length. So the Large standard shell should be size 9.5-10. Standard website said they are considering making a shell between Large and XL. Which will be great for ppl with size US 10.5-11 feet

Great well rounded review. Wish i could fit my feet into these.... but 720p. Can we get an upgrade 😅

@@wheelsceneblading did it impact the ankle pain issue? what about heel lift? i'm thinking about cutting the last hole, but i dont really like the idea of such modification (i already shaved the fins around the right ankle and put the boot twice in the oven which already way to much IMO). I may sell the boot and try the sway as a lot of people are saying good things on these boots (especially late version with "fixed" forward flex)
