Freestyle (Men’s/Boy’s)

These are probably the best value skates stiff enough for all single jumps. Because of the matte finish with a light-colored material beneath, any cuts are very visible, but they’re pretty durable overall. I’ve had mine about a year and a half and they’re still in good shape, though some of the eyelets are starting to stretch. However, I’ve had a lot of fit issues (YMMV). The ankle padding was quite stiff and narrow initially, even with heat-molding, so my foot could never stay all the way back (I went to a fitter and got the smallest size I could get my feet into). Now that they’re well broken-in, my heel stays in place but there’s too much space in the toes. The blades are difficult to spin on; they are quite flat and have large toe picks.
