Sure Grip Fame Premium Roller Skates for Men & Women - Black Leatherette Indoor/Outdoor Skates with Double Structure & Extra Long Laces - Strong Grip Beginner Skates for Rink, Park, Fitness & Street Skating

I grew up skating and JBing with my friends. While looking to get a bit more active as an adult I wanted to get into rhythm skating and find a good pair of starter skates. after extensive research I learned REIDELL is king but also expensive. I found a lot of skaters would wear Sure-grip and some swear by their wheels.After comparing cheaper types from Chicago and others I decided on Sure Grip Fames. I am very happy with my purchase. First off it came early so that is always good in my book. The skates are brand new, need adjustments but what skates don’t need some adjustment.I have not gotta out on the floor with them yet just around my place and I had to take the off because they are so comfortable and my apt flooring isn’t skate around friendly lol. True to size for me I wear a 9 narrow to med Wi date adn these fit perfectly snug but my toes aren’t crunched. I measure my foot in inches and mm to make sure. These are the first pair of skates I have ever purchased I would always rent speed skates. I do plan on replacing my bearings and wheels asap. I am 140 so I don’t think the nylon plate will be a problem. I plan on using these for indoor and outdoor use until I can save to get a pair of OGs or Juices.In conclusion…- they fit true to size. I am a 9 narrow but my feet can swell a bit and the feet comfortable while wearing them around.- lining id the softest lining I have felt in a skate ever.- The price, quality and reputation of the brand can’t be beat if you don’t have REIDELL or Chicago Lifestyle money.- The writing on the wheels are clearly messed up but honestly it looks more intentional design than malfunction so its honestly not a big deal its a wheel people.I will update this review in a few months after some real world use. But I am very happy with my purchase so far.
