5th Element Stealth 84 Mens Performance Fitness Inline Skates, Black and Red

I rarely write product reviews, but these skates definitely merit one. After years of enjoying Bauer Vapor skates, I had to buy another pair after my skater ourgrew them. These 5th Element skates looked like a great, money saving alternative to the Bauer skates I really wanted to buy. After less than 2 months of very casual use on smooth pavement, the bolt connecting the chassis to the skate popped out. That is a seriously dangerous problem because if you don't notice it right away and keep on skating, it's anyone's guess when the wheels are going to stop spinning completely. Anyone who doesn't have hockey player skating skills could have a very serious problem. In short, these are poorly made and I learned the hard way why I should've just spent the money on the Bauer skates that I already know are made well (both their ice and inline skates). My advice to anyone who wants to buy these skates but can't afford Bauers, add the following item to youur order: SCStyle Inline Skate Wheel 15/64" Shaft Hex Socket Screw. I paid $6.99 for a set of 10 and it worked to put the chassis back on the skate. With these skates, it's not an if the chassis will fall off, but a when, and you should have extra bolts handy when it happens. Also, I advise everyone to check the wheel bolts after every use because I find they loosen easily and require re-tightening after an hour of skating. Just as soon as my skater outgrows these, I will budget and save up for higher-quality skates.

This is a great product but.... if you’re advanced and need skates don’t get these. their horrible if you want to customize them. If you’re just looking at the price it’s fine

I wear a size 10 and a half shoes and I bought these rollerblades in size 10 and they fit perfect. I would recommend having some thick socks because they do squeeze a little bit on the sides also I am a beginner in these roller blades are for a little bit intermediate but they roll so smooth and solid that I refuse to return them

I came across a review that made me buy the blades which said, “ your moneys’ worth” and I second that. Good quality. I am a women’s size 8, so I got a size 7 in mens and they are perfect w/ a little bit of wiggle room. Seems like good blades start around $100 anyway.

Excellent skates, very maneuvarable. Holding up well to being used hours per day. Quiet, do not mark floors

Awesome Awesome Awesome! I got these rollerblades so that I could learn how to inline skate. These skates are so comfortable and easy to maneuver. I may just order another pair just for when I begin aggressive skating.

My son does slot of Street/asphalt sharing and he loves them. Very comfortable and he wears them everywhere. Very well made.

A screw came off from the back of where the break and wheels are on the right skates and i completely lost my balance and fell. I WANT A NEW ONE OR REFUND! I did not ride them as professional because i am not one. I rode them regularly for fitness. THIS SHOULD HAVE NOT HAPPENED.
