Chicago Women's Rink Skate Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I recently bought skates and roller blades for my kids. As I was teaching them how to do it I remember how much I loved to skate as a kid. I'm 35 and "curvy" and didn't think my ankles could handle roller blades. Plus I love the retro look of these skates. They're exactly like the ones I had as a kid. The only difference is the color of the wheels. These ones are a pale, rosy pink - not the hot, orangy pink in one of the pictures. Also, some pictures show the heel as black, but mine came in the light brown.
I wear a size 9 shoe and ordered an 8 based on the other reviews. I'm glad I did because the 8s are just about perfect, if not still a little big. The wheels don't spin as easily as I remember from 25 years ago which is a good thing for someone like me who wants to take things slow.
The construction is quite sturdy. I was a little concerned about how well they could handle my "curves", but I felt very comfortable on them. I am thrilled with my purchase and plan on spending lots of time skating with the kids both outside around our apartment complex and at the rink once I get used to being that mobile again.

Whether you're trying to keep up with the kids at the rink or just out to have some good old-fashioned fun with the girls, this classic women's quad roller skate from Chicago is a great way to get started. The skate features a traditional high top profile boot to support your ankles and a simple eyelet/speed hook lacing system that allows you to adjust the fit as you go. The indoor/outdoor urethane wheels, which hold up well against the normal wear and tear of skating, provide great traction and control, and the semi-precision bearings keep you rolling smooth and fast. An aluminum base plate with adjustable truck provides easy turning and control. The skate is available in white and comes in sizes one through eleven. It's covered by a 30-day warranty.
