Roller Derby Men's Viper Speed Quad Skate

This is my review of Roller Derby Men's Viper Speed Quad Skate. I was afraid to get these because of the price. I thought I needed to "spend a little extra" to get what I wanted. Not the case, these skates are perfect for going to the rink. Aside for the need of insoles for cushoning these skates work great, I can't say rather they are good for roller derby or not, but I wonder how many people buy these for that exclusive purpose. I weigh 260 lbs and haven't had any problems. As for size, I wear Nike, Rockport and New Balance shoes, I ordered my everyday shoe size and these skates fit perfect. My son has the same skate and also loves his, so I don't think we just got lucky with "a good pair" I beleive these are just good skates to own.

They are ok, not fast at all and run a little too big. But overall good for the price I suppose.

It's been nearing a month of having these skates and they gone through hellandback. Despite the atrocious weather, I have found time to skate nearly everyday after my purchase of the rollerskates. I used to skate quite a bit when I was younger and recently I wanted to relive some of the nostalgia. Within the first week of getting my skating legs back and I have regressed back to my teenage years when I used to do some aggressive inline. I mainly skate on tracks and backroads and these skates can take an immense amount of stress. The Abec-5 bearings feel very natural and speedy enough to glide across rough roads.NOTE: Abec5s might be too speedy for beginners, I purchased as a previously advanced skater and they definitely feel like intermediate-skilled favoured skates. buyer be warned!The plastic trucks are a bit weird, but i've found they've been taking a lot of the stress and have yet to break on me. They definitely needed some breaking in, as they are now very malleable.I also go through quite a bit of maintenance after skating (cleaning, oiling, tightening) but that should be standard for anyone who's serious about skating - I have no clue how these skates will perform if neglected. Let that be a lesson to you! Take care of your skates!All in all, a fantastic quality product for a great price.

runs very wide. Material very plastic. feels cheap. I would not recommend this unless you need them only for a short time or just to learn to skate.

Very good roller!

I was impressed when we first got them in the mail. I bought them for my gf who is interested in starting her own roller derby. I gave them to her as an early Christmas gift. She took them out one time just on a regular roller skating rink and the wheels won't let her go as fast as she would like. The size runs kinda big for her as well. Not to mention the trucks are all plastic. Most skate trucks and mounts are metal. When I loosened up the trucks for her, the wheels starting digging into the plastic soles when she skated. So all in all, you get what you paid for. Are these good derby skates? No. They are mainly good for an occasional skater who doesn't want to go fast.

Good price and the skates are of a pretty good quality. The kids really like them. These are mostly used for outdoor use.

I bought these for my son. The directions on how to adjust the skates did not help. The skates are unuseable. When the gentleman at the rink looked to adjust the skates he would have had to almost completly remove the screw cap making the skates dangerous to use.

Die Lieferung war nach ein paar Tagen da und ich habe mich riesig gefreut.Doch die Freude verging schon beim Auspacken.1. Der Karton ist an mehreren Stellen defekt, z.T. auf- / eingerissen, die Versandtüte, mit welcherder Karton jedoch versehen war, war nicht defekt!!!2. Bestellt hatte ich gr. 4, geliefert wurde: linker Schuh Gr. 4 + rechter Schuh Gr. 53. Am rechten Schuh hängt an der Innenrolle weiße Farbe4. Ausserdem hat die Innenrolle am rechten Schuh keinen Bodenkontakt.Ich habe direkt beim Verkäufer angerufen und eine Nachricht auf dem AB hinterlassenund darum gebeten, mich zurück zu rufen, aber bisher hat sich noch keiner gemeldet.Ich habe die Rücksendung angefordert und warte noch immer auf Info / Rücksendenummer.Auf jeden Fall bin ich gespannt, was da noch auf mich zukommt, wenn ich das 'Begleitschreiben' des Verkäufers so durchlese. Vorallem ärgert es mich, dass ich lt. Verkäufer auch noch das Rücksendeporto nach ENGLAND zahlen soll :-(Ersatz möchte ich auf jeden Fall keinen, denn ich gehe davon aus, dass diese Lieferung genauso raus ging, wie sie ursprügnlich bestimmt schon mal reklamiert wurde. Also, Qualitätskontrolle gleich Null vorhanden. Kundenservice kennt dieser Verkäufer absolut nicht.Das war definitv die schlechteste Lieferung die ich je erhalten habe.
