Riedell Dart Roller Skates for Men and Women - Colorful, Ultra-Durable Speed Skate with Precision Fit and Matching Color Wheels, Roller Skates

I’m a 260lb tattooed 50yr old guy who needs exercise. Despite being off skates since adulthood, my girl took me to a roller rink and I decided this would be good for me. I’ve been using these Darts for about two weeks now, three days per week, and they’ve been a great purchase at their price point. The smallest sneaker I can wear is an 11. I wanted a good safe fit and ordered an 11 for these Riedells and they fit perfect. I read reviews about being narrow but I feel it fits like it should. I guess I don’t have wide feet but I definitely don’t have narrow feet. Anyway, I thought they fit true to size, for men. The weight doesn’t bother me and I’ve had NO ankle pain.. and I’m out of shape, so I should have. I kind of have feet problems and a lot of shoes are too uncomfortable for me but these skates did fine with stock insoles for the hour I spend on them at the rink. The wheels are great for beginners. They feel like they’re smooth and quick enough but, being as I was a big skateboarder for decades, I might try upgrading the wheels to a slightly harder one, maybe a 95a, with Swiss bearings. I THINK I want to go faster.. but the wheels and bearings that come on it are great quality and should make most people happy. I’m only going to change them to see what happens, not because I’m unhappy with their performance. So, if you’re looking for a good skate that’s is good at its price point, I think Riedell Darts work great.

I love these skates, they literally glide across the floor. I know why they are called jam skates. They are beautiful and have excellent padding. Completely comfortable right out of the box! I love them. I did buy black waxed skate laces because I think they hold the skate tighter and better. They seem extremely durable and aren’t really heavy either. They are just perfect. That’s my opinion anyway. I have to say i have several pairs of skates but these are my favorite. I love how easy they make it to perform a circle or just glide in general. You can do a lot on these skates plus the toe stops are the best! They actually are the perfect height so you can stop with ease and they just stop you. They don’t grab and not hold to where you would lose your balance. They actually make stopping probably the easiest of any skates I have ever had on. 5+ stars. Love these!

Bought these for my great nephew and he loves them.

Super comfy and snug! I wear size 13 wide (EE) work boots and the size 12 skates feel about perfect. My feet are snug but not uncomfortable. I can relax to know my foot is solid in the skate. It feels like the wheels/trucks are in good places under my heel and ball of foot. Happy I bought size 12 instead of 13, I think. I’m re learning after not skating since about 12… 49 currently! I would definitely buy again. Sooo fun!

I tried them out and they work pretty well outside. I can't do much on the asphalt, which is fine, I can't do anything on most sidewalks because they don't lay flat, but I was able to ride down a paved road at a church and I think it went really well.After I got home, I tried fidgeting with the wheels and I noticed that three of them are really stiff all of a sudden, but I'm assuming that's because I decided to try walking around in them outside, which definitely led to debris getting stuck inside.Three wheels were tighted more than others, but for some reason, my whole family kept saying that they're supposed to be that way, but I'm more than confident that they're wrong, so do what the manual says and adjust the wheels as needed.They were very snug, yet comfortable; the only thing I didn't like was the space between the toe-stop and the front wheels. It's very hard for me to use the stop effectively, because it hits the ground sooner than I can get in a balanced position. I've borrowed mall skates before at Music City Mall, and the toe stop is farther from the ground so that I can comfortably stop myself and even walk if I wanted to; whereas on these, I can't balance while stopping, and if I were to try walking, I'd end up falling because I can't put more weight on the toes than on the heel.They might be beginner friendly, but they're not what I was looking for. They are still good though, and I wouldn't mind using them in a roller rink. I just need to adjust

Excellent value for the money and for what you get. I got them setup and I stood up on the carpet with no problem, but then I moved over to the kitchen flooring and got about five feet and fell to the floor hard...lol Very fast if you ask me and pretty awesome! Sure, it's not genuine leather but for a hundred bucks what do you expect. I was anticipating a cheap low quality pair of skates but instead I received way more than what I expected. You can't do much about the boot but I replaced the toe stops with a pair of Gumball stops and I got rid of the shoe laces. The laces are not the right type and belong on a pair of hiking boots. I replaced them with a real cool looking pair of black and white "Derby Laces Style Wide 10mm Waxed Lace for Roller Skates", and the skates now look super cool, take a look for yourself. I don't know about the other guys with the bad reviews but I'm very happy with my pair of speed skates. I love the way they look. Again, you get what you pay for but in my opinion, with these you get much more. I highly recommend these skates for any beginner or somebody just getting back into skating again. Be warned, these are not a toy and are the real deal.

The item was very good however, the refund for the first pair that was the wrong size, it was not refund back to my credit card. It was on a gift card. That’s what I don’t like not the skate itself is fine.

These skates are an absolute blast for beginners diving into the world of skating! They’re comfy, easy to use, and perfect for getting the hang of things—just make sure to go a size up from your usual shoe size for the best fit, fun and totally worth it for anyone looking to kick off their skating journey with a smile. Grab a pair, hit the pavement, and enjoy the ride! 🛼✨
