Impala Lightspeed Inline Skate - Black/Fluoro

These skates are so stinkin cute and comfortable! I have not blades in 20+ years and i have been LOVING getting back into it. I tried to be a badass with no pads, but severely regretted it so get some pads and some wrist guards as well. Also, attach the brake unless you’re en expert because it can be a little dangerous if you are unable to brake going downhill :) Overall, i love the look, the price and the quality of these blades- i even got a second matching pair for my BFF, and now we started a gang called the blade babes!! You will also need a Fanny pack to carry your speaker, chapstick, and your snacks.

I have owned many, many skates, parents did too, and I’ve only owned one pair that sucked— I’m so happy it wasn’t the Impala brand! I absolutely love this company’s skates; these will be my third pair from them actually! They are easy to wear, skate in, and look really adorable— they were not kidding about the vintage revival style as I’ve found (and know of) the original versions of the skates that inspired their designs so kudos for the look! The price may seem hefty, and in a way I suppose it is, but you are getting very good skates that will last you. I’ve taken a number of falls in my first pair by them during tricks and what not (first pair were the Black/Fluoro) and they barely scuffed. I mean, after having them 2yrs they still look new. Second pair (white) also lovely and true to what was advertised. Now I’m on the third and wanted the pink really really badly. I loved the pastel look that was advertised and went for it, unfortunately, my skates don’t look like the photos... they are not pastel they are salmon pink and the wheels are more of a fleshy color... I want to love them, but I’m so thrown off from the color I’m not sure what to do! I also found various flaws, and though they may seem minor, in my opinion, are unacceptable as they have chips and dark scuffs, almost as if someone roughly tried them on prior to sale. So, overall, Impala makes amazing skates, fabulous retro look, and wear nice, most skates are accurate, but for some odd reason my pink ones are not.... still, I wouldn’t write this company off and I look forward to continuing my business. UPDATE: ordered a size 8 white for family and they arrived covered in rust... very disappointed and strange for them to send me a used product like that.... not $140

They roll real smooth, and overall they are decently comfortable. However I do notice the bottom of the middle if my foot a little sore after some time in them. I recomnet thick long socks and some cushion insoles for comfort and long wear. Very attractive looking skate, complimentary to your legs.

I love the colors and they’re definitely stiff for sure. You just need to break in, here’s the thing, I got these skates outside of the box and they were already kind of dirty. I mean, it doesn’t really bother me that much because I can just clean it but it’s just weird especially buying a brand new skates and they’re already dirty. I’m sure I’ll get them dirty but I just expected them to be clean and perfect.

I sized up one size from a 7 to 8. They fit perfectly . The laces and buckle dont do too much in terms of tightening, so get the right size. Smooth ride, so easy to balance. Ill update my review after some wear and repairs to see how they hold up .

Love these skates it is my first time trying in-line and the support for your ankles is really spot on

It looks great and glides smoothly overall. I installed the brake incorrectly the first time so make sure it pops in right and watch a video. I didn’t find it useful but without it the skating is much more fun. I do find them a bit firm and uncomfortable but maybe I need better socks or to use them a bit more? What it lacks in comfort it makes up for in style. Happy with the purchase

These skates are beautiful but they are made of a hard plastic exterior which means your feet cannot slide in and it will not stretch out. This is not for a child who doesn’t like things that are too tight. I recommend going with a product made of fabric which can expand and mold to your feet easier

Shawty said they were a lil tight *wink*

I was so excited for these roller blades I mean the whole color combo is beautiful and for the price which isn’t much better then the brands website I feel the quality upon arrival is unsatisfactory I know that they’re small blemishes but it matters to me as these are deep scuffs and I can’t wipe off… I’m disappointed in that I haven’t even tried on yet… I’ll update after I wear em and go skating. I would return but there’s a family skating event and I was luckily they arrived in time.
