At first I was a little hesitant since there were no reviews on this product but they came and they looked amazing. They were a little big and there was a lot of space to move your feet around in which for me isn’t really good because it doesn’t help my balance. Balance is another issue I have with these skates. I’m not sure if I’m rusty or if I’m just not used to these skates yet but I can’t balance in them at all. I’ve tried practicing but after a good 15 minutes my feet got sore so I gave up. Good product, just not sure I’m used to them yet.Hide
Q: My daughter wears a size 12 in Women shoes. Do you have that size in women's skates or what size would I get if I was to get her men skates? Thank you!
A: We do not currently have in stock any women's size 12 inline skates. You can drop a full size and go with a men's skate in a size 11. Men's skates are slightly wider and you may want to purchase an aftermarket footbed to get a real nice fit depending on the fit out of the box.

Q: How do these fit on women who have bigger calves? Rollerblade do not fit as the buckle is not long enough.
A: I don't see these being any more accommodating than the Rollerblade brand. Over the years I have fit many women with athletic calves and the best option has been to add a heel lift to the inside of the boot, and in some instances also remove the stock footbed for a more supportive one. The heel lift is the big win in this equation as it pulls the foot up in the boot alleviating the side to side pressure. Heel lifts can be found online or at shoe specialty stores, we don't stock these. Pop these under the footbed for the best feel. In some instances if you are adding all this into the boot it may be best to size a 1/2 size up or 1 size up depending on the alterations.

Q: I have not heard of this brand. How does it compare to Rollerblade or K2?
A: 5th Element is a more budget friendly brand and they don't offer any of the higher end models that K2 and Rollerblade currently offer. All the 5th Element skates are geared toward beginner to intermediate skaters.

Q: I wear a size 7 US but 7.5 for running shoes - which size would you recommend so that my toe is not hitting the top or have too much room?
A: It depends on the fit you desire. For a tight performance fit the size 7 would be great but if you are worried about the fit the 8 could be fine. These skates fit the same as your standard shoe size but sounds like you sometimes go with a 7 and some with a 7.5 so at the end of the day it's a tossup and desired fit should be considered.

Q: Can you take off the brakes or no? Cause I'm trying to perfect a certain trick where you skate on the back wheel and the brakes won't be able to allow me to do so.
A: You can absolutely take the brake off by removing the axel from the back wheel and sliding the brake off. You'll need to replace the back wheel axel with a shorter one. If you decide to purchase these skates, please reach out to our customer service to get a shorter axel sent out!

Q: Do these run true to shoe size? Are they adjustable across the top of the arch? Do the wheels ride smoothly?
A: Yes, these skates run true to size - order as you would a pair of running shoes. The tongue is soft and not fixed and the ankle strap is adjustable so high arches will not be a problem. The wheels also ride very smooth and can easily be swapped to suite your needs.
