Pacer GTX-500 Mach-5 Roller Skates Black

I haven't rollerskated in a least 15 years. I have been debating on whether or not I should get a pair for at least a year now and I'm so glad I decided to go for it. I wear a size US11 in women's shoes and my feet are on the wide side. I ordered these in the Mens 10/Womens 11 and they are perfect. I don't wear thick socks, but there would be enough room for them, not sure I'd wear these with thin fashion socks unless I included an insert to stop slipage. I'm also a big kid, so they will definitely support you if you are over 300lbs and worried about quality. The wheels are for indoor surfaces, which is good since I'm practicing inside first on my hardwood floors until my protective gear arrives. These arrived super fast, and well packaged. I'd say they are worth every penny. Very glad I got these and hope more big kids, like me, get over their fear and just go have some fun!

I used these for the first time today, and LOVE them!!! I'm trying to get back into roller skating for some much needed exercise that I can do with my youngest daughter. I wanted to go retro, like the skates I wore back in the 80's. These look and feel great!! Love, Love, Love! My only issue is the sizing. (not really an issue, but just to make you aware) Any shoe I have ever bought (US sizing) Women's sizes are two less than a man's size. Example: A Men's size 6 = Women's size 8. On these however they say a Men's 8 is = to a Women's 9. I can tell you these are definitely not a Women's 8. I generally wear a Women's 8 1/2 to a 9 depending on the shoe. So with all that said, these feel a bit too big, but a size smaller would be too small. With thick socks, and / or thin ankle supports, these fit great, and I still have just a little room in the toe. (I hate cramped toes!) Highly Recommend.

I am 36 & have always loved skating. I got these to skate on the sidewalk while walking my dog and when I take my son skating. They work great indoors & outdoors. I love these skates! They look good & are comfortable. I wear a women’s shoe size 8.5 & I got a size 7 in these skates. At first I thought they were too big but once I skated in them a few times, they actually fit perfect!

Not a bad skate for the price with a few modifications - I definitely suggest swapping wheels if you don’t use these skates for derby. The wide stock wheels aren’t good for agility/lateral moves. My agility got better when I replaced with 85a hybrid wheels. The stock bearings suck. If you’re just getting back to skating, get comfortable on skates first, then upgrade to better bearings (like Rollerbones). With the stock bearings, I could not get any of the wheels to spin freely, no matter how loose or tight I adjusted the nuts. Once I upgraded bearings, my wheels spin freely now with proper tightness on nut. Smoother bearings will make your skates faster, so it’s not a bad idea to get your balance with the stock bearings before upgrading. I’m torn on whether a heeled boot skate would have been a better choice than these low heeled skates to relearn on. These make you feel like you’re going to fall over backwards if you have too much weight in heel & are standing too straight. A heeled boot puts you more on your toes. But a good tall boot skate costs about $100 more, so I’ll stick with these low tops until I wear them out. I do like how there is no break-in period for these (over a boot style skate). I’m a Womens US size 7 with a narrow foot and men’s size 5 skates fit me perfectly.Tip - bend your knees & stay low if you are new to skating or just getting back into it until your balance & strength return. And wear your helmet & protective elbow/wrist guards.

I bought these skates on a whim hoping they’d be what I want/need. I read some reviews saying they replaced the wheels on these to skate outside, but I use them as is and they have been perfectly fine for me. I’m no professional and am still learning, but the wheels have been good on parking lots, pavement, and sidewalks. They are also relatively light weight which is nice for transporting, but also for skating. I am definitely enjoying these skates. Normally I wear a 7-71/2 shoe, I order the 6 and they fit perfectly (well just slightly bigger but nothing thick socks can’t fix). Would recommend these if you’re a beginner like me

I love these. I’m an 8.5 women’s, and I ordered the men’s 7/ women’s 8. It fit well but there’s not much wiggle room, so I would definitely recommend going a size up, if it’s in stock. Mine also came with both black and rainbow shoelaces, which was nice.I’ve been using them outdoors with no problem.
