2nd pair sent out, first pair arrived with a number of imperfections and I strongly suspected them to be used although they were sold as new. OVERALL QUALITY IS VERY NICE. That said, there are a number of vendors selling this same set for 40 to 60 cheaper. Also very sloppy with the glue. I just want to skate so I am going to keep these overpriced, sloppy glue skates. Sure grip could do a better job putting them together.As my first pair of roller skates, these are proving to be pretty comfortable, durable, and easy to change the toe stops. I've been wearing them and practicing almost every day for the past several weeks and the shoe part of the skates still look brand new. I wear a woman's size 9 in shoes and ordered a size 7 in these and they fit perfectly. I highly recommend!They fit perfect!!!! Not too tight or anything I'm flat-footed I love them alreadyI had not been on skates for a few years and then only on an indoor rink. I was tentative at first, but after a few minutes, I was pretty comfortable! I can't wait to go out again!!! Good control overall on asphalt and concrete. Lower your brake if you are a newbie. Great Skates!Great roller skates for complete beginner. High quality material.Very very good quality skates... would definitely recommend.
