Okay so,
Figuring out the sizing has been interesting lol. Being a size 11 foot sure as hell doesnt help.
- Has some cool reviews about it. Price is great. Color looks beautiful. Sizing ima have to go 1.5 bigger unless I find it else where. Looks very durable and comfortable, the vented boots is nice considering I live in the Nevada heat; any cooling helps! Comes with 85A Wheels, rail is removable and interchangeable with other styles/setups. $230. Available via Prime; so could return if the big size is a problem
- Believe this is a newer model then the F6, for $30 more with a similar style as the F6; and also has a raving
review; I would be wiling to test them out. beautiful design. Has my sizes. $250. Not prime eligible. So sizing
would have to hopefully be right.
- Seems to be built by a company that really put time and effort into the blades. Seems very well made. has a
great design. some cool color options to choose from. its the most expensive of all the setups at $279. (lol,
just realized the logo looked familiar, same company that made my boots. the dude they use on amazon
listing was same dude on my box for blades lol. was wondering what felt familiar about this item.). 85A
wheels. interchangeable setup. they have my "size" but they claim to run a bit small. and they dont have a
size bigger then what I would "need". This does look like a great setup. Not prime eligible.
​
​
So these are the three options.

What do we think fellas?
I bought these. Everyone loves that they light up. KSS 82A Skate Rollerblade Light Up LED Inline Wheels with ABEC 9 Bearings (4 Pack), 76mm, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GOEHXKA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_4J9ZBb9Y8EVMP

I like these. They’re thick but they stay put

>The size charts all mention length of the foot, but what about height?
Most skate sizing charts only mention length, with very few making mention of width-wise sizing (Powerslide and Razors being the only examples I can think of, off-hand), and there are none that I can think of that mention height/depth-wise sizing.
One plausible theory is derived from the statements here, that "90 percent of European shoe sizes don't come in multiple widths" and "Most European sized shoes only come in medium width", and that the same is likely generally true of skates - that is, that most skate boots (many of which use, or include, EU sizing information) are built to a more-or-less medium width.
(The same page also links to an article about extra depth shoes.)
I would recommend going to your nearest shoe store and asking to use their Brannock Device - that would get you his exact foot length and width (as well as arch length, which could be useful in selecting aftermarket footbeds/insoles, if needed).
Also, something to note is that a softboot skate will generally be more forgiving of any peculiarities in one's foot shape, so using a softboot skate (something like this, or this, or this) instead of a hardboot (like the skates mentioned in the opening post) might be a better fit for your husband's feet if he requires significantly greater-than-average height/depth (that is, more than can be gained by removing the footbed in the original skates, and/or waiting for the liner to compress & "break-in") and/or if there are any other peculiarities to the shape of his feet.
As far as potential vendors, that list includes (but is not limited to) Inline Warehouse, ProSkaters Place, InlineSkates(dot)Com, Shop Task, and Thuro Skate Shop.
Yeah my hockey skates r still rlly new and need some breaking in, I’m thinking of just getting grind skates that’s aren’t too expensive like these here’s the link: Rollerblade Men's Nj Team Street Inline Skate, Black/White, Size 10.5 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075915NZP/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_Pcx0Db3YM2MYZ
i'm two weeks in, my team practices 2x a week but i can only make one most weeks because of an evening class: i want to get better at skating outside of that since once a week is not a lot, but i am a broke grad student and will have to save for a while before i can afford good skates. would it be worthwhile to get some cheap-ass children's skates (looking at these specifically) for outdoor use while i'm working towards that mst, or would that money be put to better use elsewhere? (i mean obviously it would be better not spent on amazon but what can ya do)
Oh man, this is difficult..
I absolutely LOVE these skates. Mostly for the glitter.. More than anything I love these tennis shoes. I mean, pups and sushi!? How freaking cute, right?!
Ok. I am guessing that modified shoes would be too much work for multiple pitchers, so you probably want some kind of force sensing mats on the mound. This company seems to have a ready made system but they don’t even show prices so it’s probably way expensive.
Here’s an interesting instructible similar to your goal which should be not too expensive
You definitely roll your own system with load cells and a multipart platform, I am not sure how consistent the foot placement is for pitching. You can make each platform segment have 4 load cells (one at each corner) and calculate average force that way.
You could also use FSRs for the platform corner sensors.
You could make some shoe attachments like old school roller skates used to clip onto shoes where you add the load cells or FSRs instead of trucks/wheels.
One of my first skates were the rookie forever rainbows, and they go for about 65 US dollars on amazon. I would totally recommend them for beginner skaters, as I had a great time rolling on them indoors and outdoors. The wheels are actually pretty good as well, not super gummy though, so it would be a bit tougher on crappy asphalt. Toestops could use a replacement, but they would be fine for a beginner who isn't using them everyday (I wore mine down pretty quickly from skating every day). Overall though, I would either recommend the rookie forevers, or a pair of rio rollers, which are very similar and have a low price point as well.

Happy skating!

When I first got into big wheel blading I put some Kizer Advance frames on some Valo's with 80mm wheels, they felt absolutely amazing! So much fun compared to an anti rocker setup. Whilst there are better/comfier boots for the job it'll still feel great. If you're in the UK check these out https://www.amazon.co.uk/K2-R80-CNC-Aluminum-Frame-Rail-Multicolour/dp/B01M9EWTRB/ref=sr_1_fkmrnull_1?keywords=k2+r80&qid=1556009487&s=gateway&sr=8-1-fkmrnull
I have the 90mm hydrogen's on a set of baats frames and love them! Thuro has a sale on them and they are a great shop, run by skaters for skaters.
That said, I also have a set of these: https://www.amazon.com/KSS-Outdoor-Asphalt-Formula-Inline/dp/B01GOEJGOG/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=inline+skate+wheels+80mm&qid=1574295146&sprefix=inline+skate+whee&sr=8-3 on my k2 r80 frames, and they are a lot better then I expected them to be. For the price it's certainly a nice option to have.
These are not great wheels, in fact they are probably pretty crappy wheels. They are kinda hard for the size, have a weird profile, and tend to be kind of slippery on anything but rough surfaces.
But the cost to to miles skated ratio on these is off the charts, they are cheap and wear extremely well and come in several size and color combos: https://smile.amazon.com/KSS-Outdoor-Asphalt-Formula-Inline/dp/B01GOEJ5TW/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_1?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1524265807&sr=1-1-fkmr1&keywords=kiss+outdoor+asphalt+formula
Had them on my skate around town skates for a few months, they are just unremarkable but dependable. They work fine and have not taken too much wear despite regular use.
The skates are the junior version, likely don't share much in common with the adult F6 aside from the removable liner.
They are excellent youth skates though.
