I'm delighted with this Review! I'm a non-rollerblader Dad who wanted to buy my first ever pair so I can support my daughter in her new hobby, and bought these exact boots from SkatePro. It was only AFTER paying for them that I decided to look up reviews, so now I'm happy with my choice. Next step for me, once they arrive - learn how to rollerblade!

[@typat761]

How did u like them?True to size?

[@Fisherman62567]

I think this video was such good advertising that it literally jump the price to $175. I bought them. Good skates. I have high arches so I was good. Hope there will be 2023 update of cheap Skates. I want to have a community here in my town of inline skaters

[@tedvitale8978]

I had a similar experience with the bearings in my razor cults. They definitely got better after the second skate with them. I eventually set it up as a flat with some new wheels and bearings and they fly now.

[@klainsasser]

this are on my wish list and your video comes just in time no matter if the video it´s from 2 years ago

[@jerryb8877]

I think “Dad Skate” for the occasional blade with the kids would be another selling point. Also, your lack of wheel bite might be from that boot grove angle and the general wide width of the soul.

[@iRollerboot]

I think you’re right jerry.

[@thenon-vapingsubie]

[@skating_with_jacob]

Hey there! First of all, thank you for making these nice and honest reviews 🤙🏻. To answer some questions and give some insight. Anarchy is a brand owned by Statesideskates in the UK. Stateside is ran by skaters and their designers are skaters too. How do I know? I work for the company and I am a aggressive blader too, since 1997. We never really invested a lot into marketing, and our primary goal is instead to make very affordable skates that do not cost a marketing premium. The skate does indeed have good reviews and listening to your video only gives us more motivation to keep doing what we do 🙏🏻. I am personally involved in our product development, and your feedback, along with everyone else is duly noted. We already have some ideas on how to upgrade the skate, but it has to be done without making it more expensive. Again, the price point will hopefully allow more people to get into blading, so it all has to make sende in that regard (while still having a good expierence with the skate). I will continue to follow the channel and comments on these videos. Feel free to text me here or through DM’s if anyone wants to talk or get in touch. Keep rollin 🤙🏻

[@iRollerboot]

Thanks so much for the info J. I was hoping someone involved with the skate would end up seeing the video. 🔥🔥

We know its possible to utilize what we need to go skating, even if the corporate people who own this Anarchy brand aint about the sport and just a business, whatever, if these can get anyone to have a foot in our industry and have a new passion for blading, then i support it because eventually it will end up in support to our industry entrepreneurs in the end, i started out in second hand lighting trs and before that some veraflex from target back in the day...still knocking out these videos dude 😎👍....btw who won the 2 skate contest?

[@aldolega]

The wheels/bearings getting faster is probably grease in the bearings breaking in. Also could be the frame/rocker spacers touching/rubbing on the bearing shields, which is common with cheap products like this as they use softer plastics that deform when you tighten the axles. After a while the bearing shields will bend in and the wheels will spin more freely.

[@iRollerboot]

Ahhhh. Thank you Al. Appreciate the wisdom.

[@EverythingWhoKnew]

😅 so I just recently quit skateboarding after doing it for 10 years I just now recently got me a pair of used aggressive inline skates but I have no idea how to jump into the comfortability of riding them , stopping and getting back into the stride , is there any tips or advice maybe if anybody's in New York City I can get a in person tutorial

[@Purpleshank]

Another great cheap upgrade is waxed laces to improve fit if the skates are just a tad too big.

[@iRollerboot]

Absolutely fantastic recommendation Ryan. 💯💯💯

[@jasoncalva]

Cheap skates use thicker grease compared to higher end skates that use less viscous oils. The cheaper bearings also can't be cleaned and re-lubricated the same way that nicer bearings can. The mis-alignment is typical of older models like Salomon, K2, and the original Razors backslide plates. It makes royales feel amazing but torques feel terrible. For a beginner these look awesome! I was always concerned about the quality of the plastics being garbage, but you seemed to skate them just fine. Thanks for the content!

[@iRollerboot]

Thanks Jason! Appreciate the input!!

You are the guy that taught me that any trick can be done on any skate 😎 You were wearing my old black/purple TRS lightnings and you did alley-oop topporn on coping. “Better” skates just increase the statistical probability of you landing the trick. How did they slide?

[@boziewz6125]

I got the panik version of these for my son, and while they where a great skate to get the feel of the aggressive boot style, I believe under punishment they would have buckled, pure because they are multisize adjustable boots (size 3-5). I've just swapped them for the razor gens (same adjustment style) and they are a million time stiffer and feel a lot better built. Myself, getting back in after being out for 20 years, I went for the cults first, but more so because I knew what I was doing, just needed to refresh my muscle memory 🤣

[@iRollerboot]

Can’t go wrong with cults! I did the same tbh g.

[@iRollerboot]

If you’re not looking to grind, something in the Powerslide lineup of “bigger wheel” skates may make sense. Depending on your experience, I’d stay closer to 80mm wheels.

[@iRollerboot]

To answer your question, I would not recommend these based on your question. These are more meant for someone looking specifically for aggressive skates on a tight budged, imo.

Fair points my friend. I agree. I know some people will buy these regardless. Wanted to give them a heads up. Hopefully later on they will buy a rollerblader owned skate.

[@aldolega]

Blade companies don't have anything at this price point, and they don't have the wide distribution these skates have (being sold in big sports stores). Personally I'd much rather have new kids be able to pick these up cheap and actually start skating, and have fun, and then graduate to skates and other stuff from real blade companies... rather than have kids not be able to afford a "real" skate and never start skating at all. This skate was at one time sold under the Airwalk name, yes. Meaning Airwalk licensed the skate from the manufacturer. Or, possibly, the manufacturer licensed the Airwalk name. Either way, buying an Anarchy-branded pair isn't going to send any profit to Airwalk.
