Roller Derby Women's Viper M4 Speed Quad Skate

These skates are good for beginners. I bought them cause I wanted to get back into skating but didn't know where to start. I'm also about looks(petty, I know) and I like the was these looked good plus the price was good. SO I bought them. They skate just fine. The wheels are wide and can help you with balance. The con about that(wheels) is they are so wide that it makes it difficult to just turn on a dime or when you are leaning into a turn, they will not go around a bend easily. The wheels also have slight groves in them and pick up a lot of dirt/crap in them making them hard to keep clean. This also hurt you when your trying to roll around the rink since the build up in the grooves hinders your roll. The skates are kinda heavy but I changed out the wheels for some roller bones wheels and bearings ( they are a dream to skate on, in love with them ). After making some modifications on the skates/wheels I am in love with these skates. But after the money I invested on the wheels/bearings it triple my skates price and I probably could have bought different skates. Sizing: I normally wear a size 8 in women and bought these skates in a 7 and they fit perfectly. Not loose or tight at all. Overall I like them and enjoy skating in them every week.

They're roomy but not so much that I'd go down on size. Really have nothing bad to report. The problems I've experienced are more due to me being old, fat and out of shape. I'm working at it slowly to get better. I used to live rollerskating as a kid. Hope I can get back to that level of confidence and freedom.

These skates are perfect! I am a size 8 so I ordered a 7 and they fit perfectly with enough room to move my toes freely! The wheels run smooth and the shoe gives enough support for my ankles to stay stabilized. These skates are perfect for beginners (which is me!) and I would definitely recommend them to anyone!:)

I work at a skate rink, where the skates are total crap! I was getting constant blisters on my feet and I had terribly cut up ankles. I needed my own skates. I found these, and they're about the same quality as my friend's $100 skates.I sometimes have to skate for as much as 9 hours in a day, these became a necessity. I was killing my feet.A few people mentioned the ridged wheels, that isn't much of a problem for me, but if it's a huge problem, wheels aren't too expensive. The only thing I don't like is the laces seem cheap. I plan to get new ones soon. I've had them for a little less than a week, but I've already done close to 20 hours of skating. At first the wheels seemed really tight, but after about an hour of skating they began to loosen up to a good level and they stayed there so I didn't have to do any altering once I got moving on them.They are so so comfortable. The inside is really soft.I somewhat chose the brand because I knew how they ran, and they do run a little big. If you wear a half size, get the size down. I wear an 8.5-9 and an 8 fits pretty comfortably, they're just a little loose, but nothing tightening the laces doesn't fix up.Color is exactly how it is on screen for me. I love the purple. Very pretty, I've had at least half a dozen people ask where I got them from.So worth the money though.Only problem I've had is overworking my ankle and not realizing until the skate was right on it.Definitely secure on my feet though.

Love, love, love these skates. They are perfect for my outdoor skating on pavement. The wheels are not to slick and grip the road good. They do run like men's sizes though. I wear a 9 so I ordered an 8. They fit perfect. I am 36 years old and haven't skated since I was a teen. These are perfect if your just starting to skate again. I highly recommend these skates to anyone. Did I mention I got them in 2 days!!!

I wear a 10 wide, women's, and prior to purchase read that they were sized more toward men's sizes, so I ordered a size 9. They are still a bit big, but not uncomfortably so. I have plenty of room for my wide feet, and can lace them up tight enough so they don't wiggle around. The wheels, as they arrived, are very slow. The nuts were tightened down so much the wheels could not turn. A quarter turn and they rolled much better. I also oiled the bearings, which helped even more. The wheels are much wider than the standard rink skate wheels on my old skates, but I don't anticipate them being a problem for me. I am used to high-top rink skates, so it will take a bit to get used to the lower ankle on these. I would not use these as derby skates, but will be great for skating at the rink or around the neighborhood.

I bought 2 pair - 1 for my daughter and 1 for me. We love them. I put insoles in mine for more comfort, but she is fine with hers so far. I bought new wheels for outdoor use. We skate for fun and exercise, not speed skating or tricks. Yet. They have held up to hours of enjoyment for both of us. I will have to replace bearings and toe stops soon, though. The bearings are sealed and the toe stop is wearing down fast due to terrain. They are good skates for indoors, but different wheels should be bought for outdoor use. If you have a restrictive budget like I do, these are a good starter and then make replacements as you can afford. The boots are very good quality and I expect to have them for a long time and only replace parts as needed when they wear out.On a side note: One pair was missing 1 axel washer, but I did not contact the seller since I have already had them for a while and have been using them. I also have not experienced any issues or noticed any difference in performance due to its absence.

These are amazing skates! I honestly wasn't expecting much since I haven't bought a pair of skates for myself in about 30 years. I opened the box and noticed the ribbed wheels and was like "uh oh this won't be good". WRONG! It was like I transported back in time to when I was 10! I now am the one begging my daughters to head to the roller skating rink! Great quality, they look great, and are very comfortable. True to your regular shoe size (I'm an 8 women's and bought an 8). I honestly can't wait until I can skate again!! :)
