K2 Kinetic 80 Men's Inline Skates

I just got them today so I haven't had a chance to really test them out but my first impression is very good. They were nicely packaged and they're extremely comfortable. These skates seem to roll with little to no effort on smooth surfaces, not sure about outdoor/pavement yet. I wear an 11.5 give or take a half size due to having really wide feet. I ordered a size 11.5 pair and they were just a tad loose but not falling off or anything. I'd say these run pretty close to true to size in comparison to regular shoes. Would highly recommend if you're looking for a good pair of skates that are reasonably priced!

The boots are really comfortable overall. I do experience pain and tightening in my ankles and lower legs from skating, but I don't think it's caused by the boots. The wheels are speedy and the rails are solid. I wish they were a composite material, but this is fine for most uses. The most aggravating feature is the laces. The foot strap covers the laces and the velco strap material pulls at the laces when taking them off. The top latch secures well, but I wish it was sturdier.

They fit well, work well, are comfortable to use. However, it gets a single star because after only about 15 skates the tightening strap got stuck and won't budge. As a beginner I treated these as temporary anyway, but it would have been nice to have them for a while longer.UPDATE: After much struggle with a pliers and screwdriver I managed to free the offending strap. I've updated my judgement accordingly, removing a star for the strap incident (it's happened twice, btw). Overall, they've performed very well for me, a beginner.

I rarely review anything on Amazon, but had to share my experience for Great pair of inlines for the price point. I did a lot of research before committing because my extra wide feet make buying inlines difficult sometimes. I’m a 10.5 extra wide and went with a size 11 and they were just on the cusp but fit. Other reviews are right in that these are naturally a little looser, so that plus going up a size and loosening the laces as much as possible made them just loose enough to not be squeezed by them. Super lightweight pair for the support and the stability because of the soft boot, so they’d be a good fit for a backpack pair if you have to go from skates to shoes a lot. They look great, put together perfectly so they were good to slide and glide right out of the box. Overall a very happy experience and incredible price. Thanks k2, you’ve made this dork with wide feet very happy

The media could not be loaded. Brought back so many memories from my childhood! While getting a workout in! Fits great! Smooth ride! Great price!!

My wife encouraged me to get some skates so we could have an outdoor activity to do and I used to love skating as a teen.I quickly found out, however, that blading is *not* like riding a bike. I seem to have forgotten everything about how to rollerblade now at 36, despite being quite advanced in my youth. These are *fast!* I had a hard time keeping my feet stationary while finding my balance with how smooth/slick the movement is. If you bomb down a hill you better know how to stop!They feel awesome, though. Snug, but not too tight, and no pressure points like I remember from back in the day. They have laces as well as the boot lock and a velcro strap. And they are also quite sturdy. I fell a few times while practicing to get back in the swing of things, and they took a fair beating but don't even have a scratch on them, which I couldn't say the same for me.

I started using these skates in December 2022 and they have been very comfortable and after tailoring the wheels/bearings to my local rink, a pretty fun ride. However, yesterday (July 10, 2024), the rivet at the ankle hinge on the inner right skate let go. I was able to salvage my night by taking the remnants of the part and pushing it through the hole from the inside. I noticed at this time that there was a similar break on the outer left skate. I'll try to see if I can get parts from K2 (doubtful) or if I can adapt some Chicago-style screws (used in leather work) to get it secured again. I've put about 6-8 hours a month on them in an indoor rink and don't do anything too aggressive. I'm disappointed that they failed, but it's probably time to move up anyway, but I'm skeptical of this brand now.

I am a total beginner, and these work great for me. They hold my feet and ankles just firmly enough to give control without making me sore after a while. Highly recommend for anyone looking to seriously get into rollerblading
