Key words 'ONE thing' & 'ALMOST perfectly'. Can't imagine AEON designers are pleased to hear that's the best that can be said about them. I feel i dodged a painful (&expensive) bullet by not buying these. I wanted them last year, but got the Sway57's and I'm very happy with the comfort level.

But I grew tired of those and thought they were not comfy. Some new better liners might do the trick. But I think a new pair of these aeon 60's might spark my blading heart a hell of a lot more! Thanks for the great review. This has made me more certain that these might be a good option for me. One question though. You think it will be hard to get used to the flat wheel setup /frame, coming from being used to those old GC frames with small hard plastic "wheels" in the middle?

I'm a pretty skinny dude, so I was a little concerned when you said that the boot was largely being held on by the laces and not the cuff, but then you said it felt better after you modified them and moved the buckle back. Do you think that's going to be an issue for someone with a pretty skinny leg? Also, other than the liner, are there any significant differences between this and the team version? Cheer.

    No way carbons are slower than Aeons? Admittedly I've never skated Aeons, but that's shocking if true cuz I've used the carbon soul plate and also the seven soul plate (pretty similar) on other skates than they were intended for and they always slid good. It may all be hear say, but I always hear complaints about the Aeons what with it being one material throughout and all that jazz. Anyway cool video. Also that bit you cut under your buckle, I only found out recently that USD make them like that with the scored lines so you can cut them to size, pretty cool right? I'm sure it's common knowledge, but I'm clueless, why 2QS? ✌️

    Hello, I believe the "basics" which are the budget version of the Aeons only come in black. Pro models typically have some better hardware like liners, buckles that sort of thing and come in different colors but are a bit more expensive. I am still riding the Aeon basics every day and I would recommend them if you are trying to keep costs down. You can always upgrade things yourself over time. If you have the money go for the pro's as you will be future proofing yourself in a sense.

    Hey Man, sorry to bombard you with more questions, but I have another question for you, this time abut sizing. So my foot measures 24.2cm at it's longest, and the size 5-6 Aeon 60 I got says the size range is 22.9cm - 24.2, so I am right at the largest size allowance. When the skate is on, it's a super tight fit, to the point where the bottom of the tongue pushes out of the liner and my toe is right against the end of the skate. My foot feels really constricted where the skate feels tightly on and I can lift the entire skate without any heel slip without the skate being laced up or buckled. Does it sound like my skate is too small, or is it just a matter of breaking it in? I wanted to ask you because it looks like the tongue of your liner is not pushing out, and I'm not sure just how tight is good or too tight, if there should be no room where the toes are, or some room? I'm having a lot of trouble with knowing what the right size is because some people say aggressive skates should be really tight for control, but I don't really know what that means. Would you mind mentioning your foot length in cm and the size of skates you went with? Thanks!

I’m gonna try to make a video response for you but in the meantime long story short I measured my foot in inches and sit exactly between 10 and 10 1/2 (about 27cm) and that is the exact size I got. They fit my feet perfect to where my toes don’t necessarily touch the edge of the boot but there’s also not much room in there. (If there is any room it’s like a cm) I would describe the fit as snug. Not necessarily tight and definitely not constricting in any way. It does sound like your boots might be a little too small. I had the same issue with them 908. The medium were barely too small but the large were too big. Different liners might have helped but I just ended up getting these aeons instead.

I'm actually leaning towards different skates now as I seem to not only be in between Aeon sizes, but I'm also realizing that I will be doing more urban skating since I don't really have a skate park close by. I really like the aggressive style boot, but I'm not sure they provide enough support for the height of a 4x80 frame, as some people have suggested, but I maybe wrong. I've narrowed my search down to the following skates that are either aggressive ufs skates or more dedicated urban skates with a less "bicycle helmet" aesthetic: Razor Shift www.inlinewarehouse.com/Razors_Shift_Camo/descpage-10RSC.html Aggressive aesthetic, narrow fitting, higher cuff, but still concerned about urban skating support Roces M12 www.inlinewarehouse.com/Roces_M12_Lo_Team_Chestnut/descpage-M12213.html Agressive aesthetic, narrow fitting, concerned about the low cuff for support, would prefer a removable heel pad. K2 Uptownwww.inlinewarehouse.com/K2_Uptown/descpage-211801.html Aggressive aesthetic, good support, ufs, but concerned that it's too wide fitting as some have suggested. Powerslide Next Core 80 www.inlinewarehouse.com/Powerslide_Next_Core_80/descpage-908329.html Less aggressive aesthetic, but not as "bicycle helmet" as other urban skates, perfect for urban, have read about quality control issues. FR UFS AP www.inlinewarehouse.com/FR_Aggressive_Skates/catpage-FRSKTYPES1.html Kind of aggressive aesthetic, could work well for urban support.
