Questions & Answers
I would recommend purchasing the same size or a size down. I bought a 13 because I'm a size 13 in the US. I ended up wishing I had ordered a size 12 because it would have been a more snug fit. Basically, buy the same size as you are or one size smaller. They'd both be fantastic.
Selected User Reviews For K2 Skate Men's Kinetic 80 Pro Inline Skate
The skates are attractive and simple to put on, but they are extremely uncomfortable on the bottoms of your feet, and there is no support at the ball of your foot on the side edges. As a result, unless you're standing straight up, your foot will almost always slide off the side of the skate. I wouldn't suggest it to anyone else.
" These skates were initially uncomfortably uncomfortable for me, but after a few rides, they have become more comfortable. The main issue, I believe, is that I purchased a half-size larger than necessary. If you're in between sizes, like me, I'd recommend going with the smaller of the two. I did the opposite, and I believe that the fact that these are a little too big is what makes them feel shaky to me. Aside from that, they're nice and quick, and they appear to be well constructed. It makes me a little uneasy. br>br>I do wish I had spent a little more money on a better skate to give me more stability. My wife owns a K2 Exo, which is no longer produced but is still excellent. The current equivalent is, I believe, the Boa or VO2. If you have the funds, go for it. If not, this is a good substitute; just make sure you order the correct size!.
I was hesitant to purchase these skates because I am a woman and didn't know how men's skates would fit. I went down two sizes from my usual size. For instance, I normally wear a Women's 9 but ordered a Men's 7. They are ideal - Great quality, perfect fit, and they felt fantastic the first time I wore them! I would strongly advise!.
My feet are fairly wide. After about 10 minutes of skating around my driveway with these on, they were in excruciating pain. I removed them and have not worn them since. After almost two decades of not blading, I was eager to get back on skates. I can still skate reasonably well (I used to do aggressive inline skating at skate parks and the like in my teens), but the way these skates hurt my feet has completely put me off trying again. I used to adore skating, so it's a shame.
They're uncomfortably tight around the ankles and provide little to no ankle support; you get what you pay for. I ended up going to a sporting goods store and spending only $30 more on a different brand of roller blades for him. On the plus side, the wheels are large, allowing a person to travel quickly; these would be a good pair of skates for a beginner, but not for someone who has been roller blading for years.
This is an excellent match! Good fit. I knew I needed to order a size larger than my usual tennis shoes when I bought these rollerblades, and I'm glad I did because the fit is perfect. Thank you to all of the previous reviewers for their time and effort. In fact, I assisted.
On my first pair of K2 rollerblades, I logged thousands of miles. I recently had my apartment broken into and both pairs of my K2 combat skates were stolen: (I was set on sticking with the K2 brand. ) and now - it's been 20 years. These skates are extremely durable. At a great price, these skates are a steal!.
They are fantastic skates for the money, but you get what you pay for, and they are of decent quality for a lower price. These are of adequate quality for simple enjoyment. They aren't the same as the K2s of the 1990s. But, 25 years ago, those K2s were only $200 on the low end. br>br>However, the lacing system is well worth the extra $10, the wheels are adequate for recreational riding, and the skates are of good quality for family/exercise; if you want high-end skates, spend the extra money.
