K2 T:Nine Andra W Women's Inline Skates - Size 8.5 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm very new to inline skating but I love these skates. The fit is great and the glide is very smooth--almost too smooth. I thought my shins would be in pain after skating but that wasn't the case at all. I highly recommend these skates!

K2 Celena Womens Inline Skates Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've been skating for 20 years or so, and I have to say: these are a really good pair of skates for commuting, amature speed skating, and general recreational skating.
For commuting, they're surprisingly fast to get into and out of. There is a velcro strap, a quick plastic ratcheting buckle, and fast-pull laces. The fast pull laces are great: they run into a little ratchet, so to tighten the laces you just pull up on them. To loosen again, press the button on the ratchet. The boots also have large hand loops for the back and tongue of the boot, making it really easy to just grab and shove your feet in. For lazy people like me, fast in / out like this is nice, especially when going off to stores / houses / etc.
The wheels have a nice soft durometer, and the 90mm-ness helps. Skating over brick sidewalks is a lot more comfortable on these than my last pair. The 90mm wheels seem to add a little to speed, but not tremendously. Mostly I notice how the larger wheels seem to grip a bit better before slipping, and the skate's overall lighter weight. Do note that if it is wet out, for some reason water seems to slip in through the heel. Why just the heel, I don't know.
For my particular foot, these skates just *feel* right. I'm not a woman, but the ankle cut on these is a lot more comfortable than the ankle cut on their mens, or the Rollerblade equivalent. It does seem to be a bit narrower than many, so those with wide feet might want to try on a mens or another brand. Of course, trying on different brands / sizes before you order is always a good idea, since for skating the feel is the most important thing.
This may be obvious, but extreme trick skaters might want to look elsewhere. Sure they can jump / ramp / etc. But the bottom wheel frame is a light plastic, and was clearly never intended to take a grind plate. Also note that colors might vary from the photo. The skate that I was shipped was a really stylish white, grey, and black. I'm happy with the difference, but realize that there may be a difference.
Overall, I love these skates. I never thought I would skate a K2, but I'm really happy with the fit and structure of these. They've made my morning commute a more fun and comfortable, and have me thinking of long-distance tour skating. And for the price, these are a great deal.

K2 Etu Mens Inline Skates Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)FYI Im coming from a background skating really hard agressive boots--so the whole soft boot thing (even if its made of plastic water bottles) took a lot of getting used to. At first I could barely skate on these things, now I cruise around quite quickly, albeit with less total control/turning power and thrust.
The plus's: recycled/sustainable materials--really sleek looking too I might add
Cruisin on bamboo is quite a thrill
Sadly: the bamboo chips easily, the laces have no quick lace system, the plastic buckle is a hassle to click into place and the sewn on D ring for the velcro stabilizer strap never stays in place, constantly warping the velcro strap when I go to tighten my boot (but this has made lacing up a much more zen like experience, the bamboo helps too) One of the biggest problems is the wheels they put out with this skate--Ive had this pair less than a month, just about to rotate them when I find my wrenches--but the wheels are so degraded its unbelievable. I would be going through 12 pairs a year, but Ill just put some better ones on next time.
I do like the big handy straps on it, to carry and pull my foot into the boot--always nice
Other than that--not sure if Amazon advertised this, but some site said it would include an extra shorter axle to take off the back brake--I didnt find one..so I had to cut off the brake pad so I could still use the longer axle in back.
For my purposes (zipping around quickly, while having the ability to be a little rougher/have more fun/maneuverability) I would have been better off with a crossover boot (half agro/half fitness--a hardboot with nice big wheels and not grind plate). Sadly I went the eco friendly route, which only served to make myself feel better for a slight bit, then feel harshly burned for paying over price for a hyped up product (as most green marketing goes...) All in all its not a bad skate if you really want to just ride around a track/trail...but its too delicate for real road riding.

Rollerblade Men's Speedmachine RX 110 Skate Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)don't kid yourself, these puppies are fast! They don't turn very well but thats not why you buy this style of blades! They come stock with HTO PRO bearing witch makes iceskates seem inefficient by comparison. This style of boot is low enough to give you flexability but high enough to give support for marathons, witch is exactly what there designed to do but keep in mind that they gather speed quick and can put you in a real pickle if you dont know how to use em, expecially when your 5 inches off the ground with a bunch of wheels attached to your feet!! Oh and just think....Ceramic bearing are faster but only to be used indoors where these blades/bearings can be used everywhere

K2 Radical 90 Men's In-Line Skates Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)For the price they seem like a good deal. I have some concern about the life of this product & feel I can see where separation might occure. I am dissapointed that you can not buy the higher end K2's in a local store though. I have found you have to buy them online which means they may NOT fit you since you do not get a chance to try them on first, this is the case with me. I bought the size I use for most shoes & K2's and these are like a whole size too large & fit very loose. I am very dissatisfied with this because now I can not return them since they have been used & they do not fit properly like sport equipment needs too. Higher end K2's should be made available in stores to avoid this hassle. Now I have to buy another pair & once again hope that I can guess the right size. Very dissapointed with K2's marketing plan...

Roller Derby 9.9 Mens Inline Skates Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I regret that I didn't purchase these inline skates from Amazon because I may have had more options regarding customer service and problem resolution.
With this model you get more features for the money but as the saying goes, "you get what you pay for." Yes, the bearings are labeled ABEC 9, but they are sealed so you can't clean/lubricate them. They are listed as being Bevo brand but I have doubts that they would make that level of bearing as non-serviceable. Maybe it's their house or generic brand.
The insoles are paper thin which provided no support so I replaced them with memory foam insoles. Again, not something you would think would be necessary with their top-of-the-line model.
I originally liked the idea that the lower strap was not velcro like most other skates. When I first used the buckle/ratchet system, I was not filled with confidence regarding its structural integrity. I also didn't like the fact that at the tightest level it didn't secure my foot or make it feel locked in. A month into using these skates, my original fears were realized when one of these buckles snapped off the plastic molding surrounding the boot. I took a picture and send it to customer service and asked how they handled product defects. I was told that they would send a new buckle and screws. I was skeptical because they are secured with a rivet. Apparently the customer is supposed to drill out the original rivet and use the supplied screws to secure the new buckle. You can do that or spend your own money to send them to their offices and they will do the recalled fix and return them. I suppose I should ask for 2 buckles and multiple screws because I know it's only a matter of time before the other one snaps. I'm not an engineer but it's apparent that this is a design flaw. It's like the proverbial 10lbs stuffed into a 5lb bag.
The staff is genuine and polite but you can tell from their website that their business model is outdated and better suited to selling 8 track tapes or shag carpet. Their online presence has no capability to allow customers to purchase extra parts like brakes. You have to mail or fax your request (they don't allow phone orders).
I was disappointed after this purchase so I tried on other brands at a retail outlet. Do yourself a favor and spend the extra money on a K2 or Rollerblade model. Leave Roller Derby to the brawny women who race around a track smacking each other.

K2 Mach 90 Mens X-Training Inline Skates Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have not found a better skate for under 200 buckss. This 90mm model is ideal if you do a lot of skating for exercise. Smoother than 84mm models. Replacement wheels, such as Rollerblade 90mm Wheel Kit with SG9 Bearings are affordable.
I avoid the K2 models with mixed wheel sizes. They have little plastic offsets that like to fall out when you clean & rotate your wheels, and wheel rotation is messy.
Very comfortable.
I had the similar K2 "Moto" and nearly identical "Moto 90" models before recently getting the Mach 90. The padding and everything have held up well up for 2000+ miles.
Speedlace tip: If you skate a lot, add Hi Tex cordlocks (#194 toothed wheel style -- available at REI), tie laces into a loop, and cut off the ends. Super fast lace-up and adjustment...Works great!
Sizing: is accurate.
Pricing: Yearly models launch in November (usually color change only). Shop around to get them for under 200, or last year's model for under 160. If amazon doesn't have your size, google it. Then google "coupon {sitename where you found it}".

This is where stability meets versatility.Theadded stability of the Mach 90 comes from high ankle lacing integrated with the cuff height for a secure feel. Its versatility comes from the 90mm wheels and ILQ-9 bearings for smooth effortless glide over any terrain.Combine that with the comfort of the K2 Softboot and you have the perfect skate for speed and distance

K2 Skate of the Month Two Inline Skates 2010 Review

Oh and he says that the ride is amazing (hes a pretty serious skater, so it must be true)

Thanks to a short Aluminum Frame, the Two is so maneuverable that it is the perfect do anything skate that turns on a dime. Rip through the park, or just cruise around because this skate does it all. The Enhanced Stability Cuff enhances, well, stability. The 80mm wheels get you rolling, and ILQ-7 bearings keep it stable under foot while the K2 Soft-boot provides all day comfort. As if the K2 name wasn't enough, the Two is also Skate of the Month. .

K2 Radical 90 Women's In-Line Skates Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I am writing this review on behalf of my wife, who was the recipient of these skates. She was blading before I met her, and we've been together 20 years. Needless to say she is quite good, and has been through her fair share of skates over the years. Typically, I buy her a new pair every year. No more. These skates are the be-all, end-all. The brake was detachable, which made her happy beyond belief, and the skates even came with a more narrow replacement rear axle for proper wheel fit after the removal.
The wife is more of a figure-skating type; she puts her headphones on and forgets herself as she dances and grooves to the music. These skates give unparalleled fit and control, and the lowered cuff offers extended flexibility through the ankle, which increases control and speed. The fit and finish was superb, and the pictures you see on the 'net do nothing for how awesome these skates are in person. They even look like professional skates!
The best. Would wholeheartedly recommend! K2 rocks!

(More customer reviews)This skate is the same as the K2 Mach 90 Inline Skates 2011 men's model (except for sizing and color).
So...check reviews for the Mach 90 as well. I've skated on it and similar K2 90mm models for many years. Very comfortable. The padding and everything have held up well under heavy use.
I have not found a better fitness skate for under 200 buckss. Ideal if you do a lot of skating for exercise. Smoother than 84mm models. Replacement wheels, such as Rollerblade 90mm Wheel Kit with SG9 Bearings are affordable.

K2 Radical 100 men's In-Line Skates Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)After skating all summer, I moved up to 100 m.m. wheels with these skates. The fit was perfect and everything is quality-made. I like that the boots are somewhat lower than ordinary fitness skates but not nearly as low-cut as speed skates. I adjusted the frames inward on the boots to keep from pronating but that was simple to do. I've been very happy with these skates, especially for the price point.
It was a big step up from my previous Salomons with 82 m.m. wheels and high fitness boots. The somewhat lower cut boot on these K2's took a week or two to get used to, but a person's ankles soon grow accustomed to them, and then they enable you to use more of your calves, quads, and lower back to get more power to the ground. The 100 m.m. wheels roll smoothly and with a little practice a skater will go faster with the same amount of exertion as skates with higher boots and smaller wheels. I had to leave the top holes unlaced to prevent binding on the front of my ankle, and I'm not the only person whose done that with the K2's, but the two other fasteners snug them down nicely. The release for the lower fastener took me a few minutes to figure out how to release but then it was not a problem. In this price range, I think these are excellent skates and I would buy them again!

K2 Andra Womens Fitness Inline Skates Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is my first "big girl" inline skate purchase. If you are new to blading you may not want to spend over $100 for a sports item you may never use. However, I am here to tell you it's worth it. I had nearly given up on inline skating as an entry level sport for me b/c my first pair of cheaper skates were heavy as hell and hurt my feet terribly, even though they were supposedly the right size and width for my foot. After lots of research, I took a chance on the K2 Andra skates and I LOVE THEM. They are the lightest ones I've found for the price. Amazon also had the lowest price (as usual). It is such a pleasure to be able to skate 5 miles on a sunny day and not have aching feet at the end of it. Of course everything else hurt because I still haven't figured out how to stop properly, but that's my fault. Smooth ride, pretty fast so be careful if you're a newbie like me, great on bumpy asphalt or smoother surfaces. I spent today skating over sticks and pinecones and they did just fine. Enjoy!
