Epic Skates 125mm Engage 3-Wheel Inline Speed Skates

These are a great pair of skates. Granted, I’ve only rode on them for like two hours straight but I’ve had no issues, they are hella fast (especially downhill so be careful), fashionable, and ride very smooth. I had no foot or ankle pain so I’m unsure what all the fuss is about on the other reviews. Mine came brand new and everything felt tight (I did double check though). I’m a size 9 and ordered a 10 and they fit perfectly fine. Would recommend.

First of all, it said size 9, but was really an eight. I tried to skate in it, but it hurt too much in both feet and left calf. Just too small! But, I don't think the calf issue could be fixed f/ me w/o a shorter boot! And bigger size, which they don't have anymore. When I did get some speed, though, for a few minutes, they were amazing skates, really! Just the stability, the flow, the balance, all just amazing! Just get 1 size bigger! If you are an 8, get a 9! Maybe if you are a 7 get a 9! Sadly, I have to return these, and don't know what to get yet. Will figure this out. For people a little taller than me these boots might not be too high, but they are for me.

So first thing I noticed is that the rails are screwed in on oposite sides and not semetrical ( like if there was a right and left rail but got two of the same facing rails). The box looked as if the product was opened roughly before me, but there wasnt any obvious damage to the skates. They do fit pretty tight so if you dont like a super snug skate get a size up from normal size. When hand rolling the wheels the center ones on both skates has a bit of a side wobble to them ( this may not be noticable as a problem until faster speeds ). There is a paper that says there is a 90 day warranty if there is defects and that normal wear is not covered. Ill add a picture to my review. That being said if the skates break within my test run with them Ill let them and you guys know. My first impression on wearing them is the for sure size from my 100mm FILAS I had before. They are sure fast but handle very well. The price is nice for what you are getting, but I will have a follow up in 30/60/90 days or see if they last that long. * So the only thing I can guess on why the bolts are milled this way is that they are on an assembly line and are all facing the same direction when milled then they are painted on either outerside for decals. * The wheel wabble cant really be adjusted out as the bolts are tightened all the way and it still occurs. * I did forget to mention that these did also come with a hand tool Ill add a picture.

These are fast. I’ve been on skates my whole life, since I was three, and I’m almost 40 now. If you haven’t been on skates this tall, again, they are fast! Not for beginners. On account of the 125mm wheels: they go over everything and is great for boardwalks, streets and pathways. Really smooth bearings. All my bolts were tightened and it comes with the allen to do just that. The boot can pinch your ankles, the sock doesn’t have a ton of padding. First try they gave me a couple gnarly blisters, but that was more due to me over tightening the boot. Once you get these on for a little while, try to not over-tighten the boot, you’ll love them, I promise. I’ve put over 20miles on these now, they are by far my favorite pair of skates I’ve owned, and I’ve owned a lot… I literally threw away my K2’s.

I ordered 3 pairs as I was unsure of size. Returned 2 pair that didn’t fit and was refunded $0.50 less than what I paid for each pair. While it seems small and I thought was a simple mistake the first time, when it happened the 2nd time I was skeptical. This seems to be a larger issue. If they are refunding every customer $0.50 less than selling price, that’s a big profit when there’s a lot of customers. Skates are fine, however would not recommend based on scummy selling practices.

For the price, you're essentially paying for the bearings and wheels. The boot itself isn't very comfortable. Chose size 9 (25.7cm) My foot size is 25cm, adding .5 cm for toe room and the extra .2mm was still uncomfortable. Pressure point hotspots are on the top inside of the foot on both boots, especially when turning. Didn't actually use the laces at all as it made the top foot pressure hotspot so painful. For short recreational cruises at higher speeds or the occasional trip to the park to glide along for 20-40mins is what to expect from these skates. The wheels are very high quality, spin super freely( easily cruised 18-20mph down a small decline). The frame offers great stability for balance too. There are definitely better options out there so I can't recommend these as they are too uncomfortable.

These skates are made with great quality and I have personally enjoyed them a lot they are quick and very stable the only thing I have an issue with is the stock bearings if you want the best use out of the skates I’d recommend get something like roller bones bearings for them but over all these a great skates

Smooth ride and semi fast abec7 busted my but thnk goodness for protection but theses are so worth is you don't need much push these were better then boas k2 vo2 100mm fit better no foot sourness just very high from ground
