13:44 dude what is that squat and spin trick called that was soooo cool!!!

[@marinam1738]

I got a pair of Moxi's 4 years ago and I’d practice on and off but not often because each time I’d feel discouraged that I wasn’t getting better as fast as I wanted too. So they pretty much just stayed in my closet. I found your ig a few months ago, but about a month ago I decided to look more into you and it lead me to your KZbin, and let me tell you! Ever since then just from watching you has motivated me so much that I started practicing a lot more. I’ve been skating for a little over a month now and I’m at a point where I can skate and stand comfortably without feeling like I’m going to fall. I honestly never had thought I’d be able to do the basics on roller skates. Your advice and amazing personality have helped me a lot with skating and I’m so happy I found you cause I probably wouldn’t be skating and practicing right now. You’re genuinely amazing and definitely my favorite roller skater! ♥️

[@fredia2118]

Riding on beach bunnies right now. Ive had my eye on the mirror ball moon boot. This just cinched it. I cant wait to support them! Thank you

[@bodhisattfa]

How are the beach bunnies? I’m 11 and im saving up for them! I have size 8 feet (yes ik how does an 11 year old have size 8 feet? I’m tall so ofc ill have big feet)

[@geekxlove81]

Can you share a video about how you typically set your trucks? I hear people say they like thiers looser or tighter but I can't find any examples of what that even means. I wanna see how much wiggle "loose trucks" actually means.

[@KarentheKarrot]

this is a good video idea! typically i would say that you can't really see because when i loosen them i usually do a half tun to the left or a full turn but to the regular eye i guess you cant really see. How ever when i film this i will make it very exaggerated so you could be able to see the difference!

[@pepperspikes1849]

if you look up a picture/diagram of roller skate anatomy, you’ll see each kingpin axle goes through the hole in a truck. if you loosen the nut on a kingpin axle, the truck on that axle will be able to move more freely, meaning your wheels are more maneuverable and you can turn and access your edges more easily. you can observe this with your skates off if you take one skate and hold it wheels up in your lap, then try to push down on one wheel, let’s say the left, and then try to push down on the right. if you loosen the kingpin nut a bit for that truck and then try to push down on each wheel again, you’ll be able to push them farther down than before. you probably will not be able to tell at first how loose you like them without testing it out by skating on them. i suggest to adjust them slowly (by quarter turns or half turns) while you are testing to see how you like them. if you loosen the trucks too much at once (like if you’ve been skating with tight trucks and you suddenly make them very loose), you might not have built up enough muscle/control to skate stably, or you may just not be used to it. and there is such a thing as loosening them too much; if they’re so loose that the pivots can come out of the pivot cups, that’s obviously very dangerous. if this does not make sense to you even after looking at a diagram of roller skate parts, then feel free to just wait for karen’s video about it; sometimes videos are more helpful in demonstrating.

[@hallievanoutryve3109]

Pepper Spikes omg thank you for the detailed breakdown!!

[@pepperspikes1849]

Hallie VanOutryve no problem! i hope you have fun getting back into roller skating!

[@iankawai6986]

I ordered a pair in Emerald City, it's my first suede boot so I'm excited to see how they compare to my Sure Grip fame skates! Thanks for the video

[@Desi2121000]

Hi, Do you like your suregrip skates? Would you say the toe box is wide? I was thinking of getting them since I hear moxis run narrow.

[@arantzarojas3823]

books4ever I have the sure grip fame’s and they have a wider toe for sure, I have slightly wider feet and they’re so so comfortable! Would definetly recommend

[@hoopsiedee546]

Post a review! I really wanted the emerald!

[@ertfgghhhh]

They are cute but i would think they are an indoor fashion skate-for da club

[@doriangel97]

Idk why but i literally had a feeling that they would be too small 😫

[@ilovecats21]

I loved their design!! They look gorgeous on you and your outfit. I have the holographic impalas,, i love them but i feel like they are way colorful so these are so much prettier for me. I used them for the first time outside and the front peeled off, plus the wheels feel so hard😭😭 Hope these worked good for you💕

[@stephanieperez5402]

Awesome! I can hardly wait for my charmer skates to get here! I ordered them last week of August so hopefully they'll be here soon! Thank you for the honest review

[@alexisachickennugget3500]

I had a feeling the wheels were gonna be hard. Idk why but they looked that way from the pictures. Btw loved this unboxing 💜💜

thank you sm !!💙

Ah yes I found my Aquarius people 💖

[@onlylillyheresorry]

I have you pfp as a meme and its just says "go to bed" 💀🔫

[@mega_g0bl1n]

I also got these and I love them so much. They’re my first pair of skates and I feel so magical in my holo boots 😭

[@Eontologist]

Do they scuff/scratch easily? If so, can you clean off the scuffs and scratches? Or use something on the surface (modpodge, acrylic sealants etc) to protect the holo? I have a pair of holo dr. Martin’s in a similar holo color/material and they scuffed BAD 😭

I just got my Moonlight Safety Dance Roller Skates. I wanted to supported a black owned skates. Can't wait to skate around!

[@discordiaaaaaa]

Those boots are so cute!! Thanks for the review, can’t wait for an update on how they hold up 😊

[@aniyahozuki1037]

yes aquarius gang. I wish i could go skating in a pair of my own skates guess i have to wait longer.

[@bluebelleart1999]

I've been bingeing your videos today! I subscribed like a year ago but my algorithm hid you from meeee I'm so happy to have rediscovered you! So much love, from Australia

[@BronzeBellaBria]

Thanks for the commentary on the ankle support. I just bought Marawa x Impala Rollerskates skates because they're literally the only pair of skates I've seen available in my size and they just happened to restock.

[@TotalTrekkie123]

I've definitely been eyeing these for awhile now! Loooooove the holo.

[@brooklyngirl89]

Hey Karen, Im excited that you tried out this brand as Ive been wanting a new pair of skates and everyone is raving about this company. Glad to hear that so far you like them. Hope youre doing better. Love and Light

[@KarentheKarrot]

thank you so much Amber i am doing better 💙

[@gianaroselyn8349]

THEY LOOL VERY UNIQUE AND VERY YOU THEY GO GREAT WITH YOUR HAIR.

[@thaliaa_0]

the skates look good! I might be getting impalas for Christmas as my first quad skate I have inlines but they aren't that good so I'm excited to maybe be getting a good quality pair of quad skates!

[@chloebrehin4107]

They look really pretty, but I think they are a bit too expensive for the quality... I don't know, what you people think ?

[@KarentheKarrot]

I would kinda agreee

[@Kenny-eq7pb]

@@KarentheKarrot thanks for your honesty!!! The plate and bushings look really similar to the candy girl skates/impala skates and they're a fraction of the price

[@sarahleeklah1642]

I agree. Can't understand how a skate mass produced in China with cheap plates can be worth $250

[@__avp__]

Cheaply made, with many people already experiencing defects and errors with plating, the boot etc... I find it suspicious that the owner just started skating in 2019, and then..started selling skates in April 2020. Someone seems to just have wanted to capitalize off the skating revival 🤔

[@drinaa7263]

Definitely not worth the price most people paid for the boot alone cause the wheels and toe stop it comes with aren’t the best especially for beginners

[@missmorris625]

So excited for you to get these! I’ve been waiting for more reviews while I’m waiting for mine to be delivered ☺️

[@MissE832]

I love those! They look so comfortable and of much better quality than Impalas.

[@cleverfeather777]

I am so excited! I’m waiting for safety dance and emerald city both to be shipped so I can see which boot I like more.

[@garygrinkevich6971]

You ladies are on fleek, lookin stylish!

[@drinaa7263]

I ordered a pair of Amethyst, I’m so excited to get them I hope the next 4-6 weeks goes by fast 😭✨

[@seefa4169]

Sameeee I got an email and they said another 2 weeks so I’m just hoping it goes by super quick!

[@drinaa7263]

Seefa how long from the time you ordered do you get that email? 😭

[@zoezimmerman6080]

@@drinaa7263 It's been about a month! The skates stayed behind at the factory for a few weeks for quality control checks, which was what the 4-6 weeks was for. Now they're being held up in LA in an unexpected shipping delay. But the company has been very transparent about the whole process, which is amazing

[@drinaa7263]

Zoe Zimmerman okay yeah I’m fully prepared to wait at least 6 weeks which is fine cause it’ll be like a late bday present! Thanks 💕 I can’t wait!

[@SapphireeCos]

I got my skates in like 3 days😳😂 hope yours come soon

[@bee6047]

I was debating between buying moonboots or jackson vistas. I am actually glad I wound up going with the vistas after digging around in the comments in this video and seeing a few comments about the quality. my vistas aren't as flashy but they're extremely solid and high quality for the price point. I really like seeing your skate reviews and hope to see more in the future.

[@sarahleeklah1642]

Good choice. My friend just got her safety dances and she's so disappointed in the quality.

[@bee6047]

@@sarahleeklah1642 I don't blame anyone who bought into moonboots. Aesthetically, they are very cute and it's nice to have another cute choice besides Moxi's on the market especially considering the shortage. I'll consider buying just their boots if they're ever made available separate from the hardware for an indoor build, but I think ultimately there needs to be higher expectations in quality hardware purely as a safety precaution POV for rollers sports. I've seen too many pics of snapped trucks from aesthetic skate brands recently. It definitely feels like some of these companies may get in some trouble if the trend continues.

[@brittanyf9567]

I’m debating this also but the moons seemed better because the plates are aluminum and the Jackson’s are nylon so wouldn’t that make these safer?

[@EsotericWolf]

Hey Karen, wanted to know of any updates on this skate and how you are still skating with them

[@20YearSoul]

Wish I saw this video before I broke my ankle in these just by slipping on a crack in the street. >< Poor ankle support is something I should've paid attention too. Good skates but something to take note of and prepare for

[@AquiferousDandelion]

omg first of all, you look like a frickin goddess

[@elvinmay54]

Looking stylish as always. I would love to see a video on wheel brands you like or want to try

[@Ophelia11]

Glad to see you back! Those skates are cute. ❤️

[@BriannaTerese]

Those are SO cute omg... And I was wanting the holo skates from Impala but I’m liking this witchy vibe on these.

[@venusalexa7367]

The trucks seems like Impala trucks where they don't ever quite adjust right.

[@korichamberlain]

I have 4s in moxi lollys that fine, but the 4s in moonboots where definitely shorter. My toe was right up against the the front. Turns out, the size 4 lolly and the size 5 moon boot are the exact same length. (I measured both myself.)

[@korichamberlain]

4s in Lollys that *fit* fine.

[@KarentheKarrot]

I hate how much the moonlights squished my feet !

[@mariarindone2668]

Really nice video! Have you already done any updates on these? I can't find it. It would be nice to see how you're getting on with them

[@katamaya2979]

Serious question and i dont wanna come off like a butthole. You once said that moxi was just trying to get the vegan dollar with their vegan skates so you wouldnt buy them. Why is moonlight any different. They use suede in their skates i just wanted to know if there was another reason you use moxi

[@katamaya2979]

*dont use moxi

[@icy8664]

I thought the beach bunnies were for beginners I didn’t know they were marketed as vegan but I really did want Karen to review them :(

[@economycollapseimminent]

Same. I looked up the mid night ones and it said they are suede. That's why I ended up with the sure grip fames

[@devmacc317]

omg it’s so sad they they closed. i always wanted a pair of mooonlight rollerskates ahh 😢

[@sclozza]

Thanks for the awesome review I can’t wait to get my flashdance and I like your reviews they’re honest and informative 😊.

[@fruitymoth]

I'm really excited to get mine! I got the Night Fever style :-) Unfortunately my order got delayed a couple more weeks but that's alright I still want to get good use out of my Rookies right now! I'll also have to get used to a suede boot since I'm used to my vegan ones.

[@ravenharper4334]

Have you skated the moolights since you made this video? Did your toe continue to hurt in them? I have a narrow foot size small. I guess I should say I have longer (normal) toes. Lol. I have lollys in size 6, I feel like they are a tiny bit big toes definitely dont hurt. What size should I get. Thanks Karen

[@cyleewelch5226]

Yes thank you for this! I just bought a pair of Impalas a couple weeks ago, for by 1st pair of skates as an adult. I do really like them but I definitely want in upgrade but I have an extremely large foot it not many brands make my size.

This is great! I wanted to try Moonlights but ended up getting Moxi Panthers because they'd arrive sooner. That's def on my list of next skates to get.

My dad always told m. Never wear tight shoes because it will screw ur feet since they swell up n u need to let it breath. U think a size 4 1/2 or 5 with ur reg socks would help
