I have many skates as I've been skating for years. Got these for my daughter. Although the picture shows them in black,they arrived in grey and black :( hence the 4 stars. They are a great pair of skates so we decided to keep them. They are a perfect fit and very comfortable says my daughter. In my own experience,these are a classic pair of skates to have for the price,if you compare them to £130 pair of trainers,they will last longer. Plus they last years anyway apart from the odd wheel and brake change in time. I would recommend these skates. You can't really go wrong with "Rollerblade" Very tough,well built,and comfortable,and well worth the money.
