Stopped watching Ricardo Lino's reviews due to his associations / bias towards certain brands. Massively appreciate your honest takes!

I am a beginner and love his videos. Which brands is he bias to and against? I think his videos are rubbing off me and I love the USD and Them brands.

❤❤❤ Glad the strap are working out for you 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 thanks for the support 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙏🏼

[@Reloaded44]

I just got a pair of Sway 57s a month ago. The forward flex is eliminated the plastic goes up higher into the cuff. I do find the cuff is stiff but my liner still needs to break in only have a handful of hours on it. It fit amazing I have MP 26.0 and the US M 8-9 fits so good no smashing of toes or heel lift. I installed the 45 degree strap but I picked too short a size but it works lol. I find it helps just push my foot down more with the padded tongue so it feels more locked in but it wasn't a huge difference. I'd definitely spend more on one of the many Pro models you get a better liner and the Gen 2 soulplates which I also installed it just looks so much better with the Gen 2 no question. For the money they are hard to beat but I do want to try other wide models in the future like the 909, Fifth Element and SL. ✌️

thanks brother this was helpful. im just getting back into skating. after being diagnosed with leukemia i had to put rolling on the back burner but i feel healthy enough to skate now. im prolly going to get the sway 57s. all ive been doin is watching skate videos!!! im soo hyped. i gotta wait for my ssi check to finally order sum i cant wait!

[@wheelsceneblading]

Glad to hear you are feeling better. When you put skates back on, TAKE IT SLOWLY! Pace yourself and set yourself small goals. Don't try to jump right back into doing what you used to do on skates, that is a rapid way to get hurt.

[@chinobean3555]

hahahaha very true hopefully my evil kenevil doesntkick it. lol jp i was pretty good back in the day but that was aloooong time ago. il prolly just roll around for the first few days maybe a soul grind nothin cray cray@@wheelsceneblading

[@chinobean3555]

Update I'm skating the sway 58s with the myfit SPC dual fit liners and I can't get enough of it. And the weather is starting to get nice. Soo glad I pulled the trigger on getting those liners. Those stock liners suck d*ck. But I digress. Love rolling and the community.and it seems pretty strong right now. I feel like I got back in at a good time

[@davewestsk8]

Perfect I've got 909s currently and fancy giving these a go.

[@udihu]

On the 45 degree strap, the greatest use of it, that I tuck the laces under it. It does some heel lock effect, so I keep them on (aeons though, not sways)

[@chrisgoblin4857]

I'm quite fond of the Sway boot. My first skate when I came back to blading was a Farmer 1 and more recently I've been on the black and white Sway 57 with the new soul popped on and some Fatboy liners. I've tried them with some Compass 80mm frames and it also makes a canny free skate that has soul plates for cheeky grinds. That must be the Powerslide Zoom DNA showing through. Recently moved on to some Henderson SL but I keep the Sway set up flat 56 in case I fancy it. Great video as always Big Man. Edit - I use long hockey laces and do the round the cuff thing which has helped to reduce the forward flex.

[@alansanchezlopez4018]

Hi ! Could you tell me between the Sway and the SL which boot has the largest width in the toe area? I don't want to keep my fingers tight in boots with a narrow toe. All the best! :)

[@almostremembered]

Solid review. Props for keeping the 45 strap on even though you don't need it. I don't think I need mine (Blanks) but I cannot stand the look of Blanks with the 45 strap off. I quite like the look of 45 straps on skates. My buddy has blacked out 909s with a 45 strap and they look really slick. Also...really good skating, Dave. Jealous of your back savs.

[@andrewclarke9321]

I just bought the Sway 58. Haven’t skated in 23 years. After three days I’m hitting most grinds and pulling some medium tricks in a bowl/spine ramp. These are better than anything I skated back in 99.

[@wheelsceneblading]

Considering they are one of the cheapest skates in USD’s range, they are excellent

[@se_cfh8715]

I also have the Farmer 2 Sways. They are a solid skate, the soul plate is brilliant. I got used to the forward flex fast and don't see it as an issue at all. I did have an issue with the liner lifting with my heel out of the shell but I stopped lacing the liners up and this is no longer a problem. The crown liner makes this the most comfy skate I've ever had, I am on the smaller size of the shell so the high volume liner is perfect. I'm concerned that if I had to change the liner for a lower volume, they wouldn't fit as well anymore.

[@zackmarkham4240]

This makes me feel even better about getting the Sway 57's as my first skates, well second if you count the skates I had at age 10.

[@burricanecarter]

I like your reviews because I have wide feet as well. I ordered the Rollerblade Pro X skate after watching your review and I'm super happy with how they fit. I haven't tried the Sways yet because I'm between shell sizes and I'd have to size up so I'm using Razors SL but I'm probably going to try the Sways at some point when I visit a shop that carries them. Your footage is crisp as well.

[@xxslysinxx]

Idk if I have wide feet but my first skates were the RB x pro and they were a blast! I used everything stock, mondo 245 on a size US 9.

I always got some weird presure points with the sways, I tried both generations. Maybe an intuition would help, dunno. I have a 2nd skin liner heading my way I will try with that. I noticed another benefit of the sways though: the thumping sound it makes when you land. So statisfying.

There’s not an option to move the buckle in. There are only two holes and you need both of them for the two screws that hold the buckle in place.

Great review. I've been considering getting these and trying to downsize to the US 8-9 shell with Intuition or 2nd Skin liners. I have a 278mm Mondopoint and I think I could do it. A question though. Do you use an insole inside your Intuition liners? I know some people skate Intuitions without insoles but I much prefer one. Thanks.

[@wheelsceneblading]

I don’t use an insole.

[@pm2007est]

I have the Zoom 80 skate which is the same boot but with a ratchet buckle where the 45 degree strap is. The ratchet buckle really locks the foot down. I just have some elastic laces on it because i dont need to lace it. I dont skate much grinding much anymore at 40 years old. But I have some 68mm wheels on the skate to get a lower and more control. Is the ratchet buckle able to be put on the sway. It pulls the entire skate down solid around the foot and locks the heel in place.

[@theandrewcummins]

Flex is an issue I had with the Sway All Stars. It was just super stiff. Anyone know of any other Sway colors that flex better?

[@wheelsceneblading]

It’s definitely stiff at first but I would say it breaks in well. Also, there is something to say for the extra support making you bend your knees more and get properly on the soul plate / backslide groove

[@Johnnysthunder]

It has a decent soul plate but as ya said could use a better connection but idk I personally found they skated super poorly from the forward flex which coupled with their width and the cuffs they just felt super sloppy. Not for me.

[@wheelsceneblading]

They’re not as responsive as the Them 909 but the sloppiest skate I have used in the past five years is definitely the RB Blank. It just felt really sluggish and every trick felt strange. The Sway soul plate is also very long lasting

[@chilli-iceolive-abode2447]

I really enjoyed the Sways for a bit, but then I don't know if I just got lazy or what but the stiffness of the cuff got too much for me. It started to cause real pain and bruising where it would dig in when doing topsides or even just getting boot down. I still have a pair, but exclusively for 3x125. The ones I had were older models so I'm curious if the cuff material changed. Would you consider yours stiff?

[@wheelsceneblading]

I would say the cuff is stiff but there is still enough flex. I imagine the free skate version is very supportive. I never have an issue with topsides or royales though. Nowhere near as stiff as Adapt

[@chilli-iceolive-abode2447]

@@wheelsceneblading fair play, I'll add that to another reason I'll never skate Adapts 🍻

Out of interest, what skate did you go for that you consider to be less stiff than the Sway?

[@chilli-iceolive-abode2447]

@@se_cfh8715 tbh I've had a few since then that have all been less stiff. For super flex the Razors SLs, you can pinch the cuff together with one hand. Then also the Fifth Elements, Mesmers, the white UFRs all feel flexier to me.

[@dank4815]

Sooooo change your liner and frame and these are good???? I had the sways and had nothing but pain on top of my foot using everything stock.
