![]() I’ve done a ton of testing and gathered a lot of data, so I think this will be a useful post. So, in this post, I’m going to cover all of the things that I have tried over the past couple of weeks to protect my feet and ankles while I’m breaking in this new pair of skates. New skates shouldn’t make you feel that way! However, the boot is so uncomfortable on the inner part of the ankles that it’s made me want to take them off several times and throw them in the trash. I have been doing some old roller skating tricks in these skates that I just could not do in my old skates. They look really cool and they have really good movement and are a good all-around skate. Not fun! My New Vanilla 360 Boots are Ankle KillersĪs many of you already know from my previous review, I recently bought myself a pair of brand new Vanilla 360 skates. This is my ankle after I wore my Vanilla 360s for the first time for one 3-hr session. Pin I don’t think it’s normal for a pair of skates to rub your ankles raw to the point of bleeding. It’s a very common problem, and one that I recently had to deal with myself. In any of these cases, you are left feeling pretty miserable as you likely just spent hundreds of dollars on a new pair of skates that tear up your feet. Or maybe the boot is just not designed right. Or maybe it’s too tight at the ankle, heel or toes which can cause blisters, cuts and even bruises. Maybe you bought the skate a little too big and you get blisters from the extra movement of your foot. The part that many first-time skate buyers have not experienced. The boots are often hard and require lots of use before they get broken in and are fun to use – much like a brand new pair of shoes. Then often comes the dreaded breaking in new skates phase. You quickly tear through the box to get to the skates, slip them on to your feet and roll around the house to make sure everything is just right.Īfter checking everything out, the anticipation builds for the next time you get to hit the rink floor or the skate park to wear your new ride for an extended period of time and really test them out. As you open the box, each skate is wrapped in its own plastic. The roller skate wheels and roller skate bearings are brand new. No scrapes, scratches or dings on your new boots yet. My back truck snapped and i have to order a replacement.Getting a new pair of roller skates is such an awesome feeling. The cushions took some adjusting but that just because of how i skate. ![]() This really is a bummer and if it hadnt snapped it wouldve been 5 stars, My back truck snapped and i have to order a replacement. This is the best skate company in my opinion they make very good quality skates that last a long time Also RollerSkateNation customer service has been amazing! I have no doubt that the only thing that will change about my footwork with the skates on is adjusting to the wheels. I bboy (breakdance) away from skates so I would definitely be hyper critical of the weight. The skate is super light but I believe they will be durable. I agree with some of the reviews that I have read about these skates in that the ankles dig in initially but I have no doubt that this will stop after break in. I'm 38 years old and have owned 4 or 5 different speed skates in my life time. My skates just arrived and I couldn't be happier. ![]() Posted by Jason Lavinsky on 18th Mar 2022
