Pacer GTX-500 Mach-5 Roller Skates Black

Awww man, I’m soooo disappointed!I’ve been looking everywhere for skates, no luck. I decided to give these a try, beginner level of course. I normally wear a women’s9-9.5, so that’s a men’s 8 or 8.5. All the advice I’d read says if you’re a half size to go down. I ordered a (men’s) size 8. I prefer men’s shoes when it comes to things that involve activities or exercise, simply because the toe boxes are always bigger and more comfy. Not the case with these!! I’d compare them to how Chucks fit. I knew as soon as took them out of box that they were going to be way too narrow. I honestly don’t know anyone who has feet shaped like bananas but if you do, then these are the right skate for you.I offered them to my daughter, but she’s got some honkin’ big duck feet so that’s a no go. I don’t think I’ll return them, I’m going to see if there’s any banana feet people having a hard time with this Covid mess, and just give them the skates. Everyone deserves a little happiness.

These skates are amazing! Super comfortable! As per the description I ordered a size down and I'm glad I did! I usually wear a women's 11 wide and the regular size 10 fits perfect! They come with indoor 98A indoor wheels and I purchased the Pulse 78A outdoor wheels separate. I cant say enough good things so far! Great quality for the price, super cute!

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!

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.

These are amazing!! But I suggest getting suregrip wheels. You can wear them indoors and outdoors that way! The best roller skates ever!

I bought these skates because many other retailers are back ordered due to increase in demand, and I'm making due. However, they are a bit of a waste of time and a money pit, particularly if you are looking for a skate to use outdoors. You definitely need to buy other wheels, and if skating on rough outdoor surfaces a very soft wheel is needed (78-82). The wheels this comes with are super hard, the toe stop is small and wears down FAST. The bearings are also awful, and everything about it feels cheaply made. Quite frankly you also just don't have the mobility you want/need for movement, they're heavy and clunky and very wide. Add all these things up and you really might as well save your $$

I purchased these for my teenage son, during Covid 19 quarantine so we could have a fun reason to skate outside (while still social distancing). I dusted off my own skates that hadn't been used in years, and while I proceeded to sprain my wrist, my son was dancing on his skates on the second day. He got compliments on the look and style. And now I am pretty sure I have created a monster, or atleast the next generation of Venice Beach dance skaters

I got these skates for my son who is still learning but needed his own skates and not the rink rental skates anymore. They are affordable, considering he will outgrow them in a year or two. I was told to order a size up to give some room to grow and they fit well. They do scuff very easily in the toe area and that is why I took off a star. He seems to like them after using them at the rink for the first time. They are very popular skates, especially for beginners and children. I would recommend them for beginners.**Update** My son likes these skates. However, the toe area has scuffed badly after only two times at the skating rink. Even though they have room for him to grow, I am not sure the boot will last that long. I may have to order toe scuff protectors if they even have those for these skates.
