K2 Mach 90 Inline Skates

Comments about K2 Mach 90 Inline Skates 2011:

I now skate for cross-training, fitness, and recreation. Prior skates were hockey skates, so I enjoy the bigger, faster wheels. Less nimble, but that should be expected. Getting accustomed to the boot vs. older hockey skate. Stability is good, but usually feel they could be tighter. In my opinion, they run approx 1/2 to full size larger that shoes. Rotating wheels after two sessions, which seems too frequent, so my repacement wheels will likely be harder.
Good value - no post-purchase remourse.
Online purchase was completely satisfactory.

Skates are great. After rocking my rollerblades for the last 15 years I decided it was time to upgrade. So far loving these skates.

Service and delivery comments:

Delivery was faster than I paid for. I forgot to add the free gift to my order. I called after I received the skates to see if I could still get it and without hesitation I was told absolutely. Great place to buy from.

Age 58; skating on paved paths at Busse Woods Forest Perserve to get in shape for the ski season and because it's much more fun than going to the gym. I wear a size 13 street shoe and bought these skates in a size 13.
They are true to size; might have been been able to squeeze into the 12.5 size.....The skates are light weight and more responsive than skates that have a removable liner. My prior skates were the original all plastic shell Roller Blades with 72 mm wheels. Not quite the same stiffness around my ankles but I like being able to pull up the laces tight on the K2 skates; the soft shell will come close around the foot and a very functional ankle strap keeps heels grounded in the heel pockets. Big difference going from 72 mm wheels to 90 mm wheels....requires a bit more of a deliberate motion to the skate; the ride is smooth and better gliding. Most noticeable going up inclines; it's less work.. Very light skates and no pressure points on fore foot that was common in the all plastic shell skates. Very surprising....the foot beds are good enough to use....there is actually some support under the arch.
I have a very high instep so stock insoles usually go right into the garbage replaced by custom or Super Feet insoles. These stock insoles are acceptable. Yep, would buy these skates again.....

I recently moved up to these from my beginner skates that i'd had for far too long. the change is stark. these ride so smooth, allow me to get a great work out on my legs, and feel so secure on my foot. the flexibility in the ankle is great providing lateral support with movement forward so i can really get moving. so glad i finally took the jump up to these skates

I took my first real ride this week. The Mach 90s are noticeably faster than my older Flight M's. Maybe could have gotten into a 11.5 but the 12 is comfortable without being to sloppy in the heel. I use them for the cardio workout but this year I have a thought of doing a roller marathon in Duluth MN. Twenty six miles along Lake Superior seems like a great place to use my new K-2 skates. So far,so good.

Great service! On line ordering was very easy,and the videos with Steve were very helpful. I did receive an e-mail telling me the bag which came as an extra was out of stock, but I received it about 2 days later. I had a chance to buy elsewhere but was very satisfied with your online pics, information, clear pricing guide and sizing help. Overall very satisfied with the shopping experience.

Beautifully constructed skate. The quality is evident right out of the box. The skates were very comfortable the first time out. I expect with time they will become more so. The support and lacing system are great and allow for adjustment of the fit. They are very lightweight considering the large wheels. Playing around at a skating rink, they seem to roll out forever. Very smooth, responsive, and agile. Not quite as attractive as last years model, but looks aren't everything.
