Very unstable skates your ankle is not supported at all and he flexes back and fourth while you are attempt to skate. Very comfortable just not practical to skate with. No Support on your ankles.

I bought these because Roces is a well known share brand. I was very disappointed in these skates. The first inspection of them looks solid but after trying them on for 5 minutes it all ends there. The boot doesn’t have enough support and your ankles take a lot of abuse. It feels like the aluminum frames flex away from the sole of the boot causing a lot of stress on your ankles as well. I was very disappointed on this purchase. They were returned promptly.

I was an advanced aggressive inline skater in my 20's. 20 years later, I was looking for a comfy and fresh pair of inline skates I could use while teaching my kid to skate. These mostly fit the bill, but would not recommend them to their intended target (beginner skaters).If you are a beginner, and don't want to spend too much, look for rigid boots (meaning, the whole boot is made of plastic), they offer much more support to your ankles helping you gain develop better form.Also look for skates that don't have much space between wheels and boot sole, with gives you lower mass center and better stability.If you are already a good skater, and want something cheap and soft to play with, these are just fine, but I suspect spending a bit more, you could find something less worm.Following is a more detailed review.These are nothing like other (admittedly more expensive) Roces models, and are similar to most cheap, made-in-China (I.E., they are made in China), soft-boot inline skates.The ankle is quite flexy and doesn't offer lots of support.The boot is relatively comfortable, as any soft-boot, but it's also quite warm. In fact, the air grills in the front are just for show; they don't actually allow any air inside.I have narrow feet, and they are true to size for me, but I suspect someone with larger feet would have to size up. The sole is quite stiff, which is easily fixable, adding a thin sport insole.The frame is made of aluminum. Pros: more durable, more responsive. Cons: heavier, transmits more vibrations from road's roughness.The shape of the frame puts almost one inch between the boot and the top of the wheels. Pros: you can lean more on turns and slides before scraping the boot. Cons: less stability.The bearings are just average, not the slowest, but definitely not particularly fast (But they are ABEC-5! you will say. Well, the ABEC index is meaningless for skates, and these are clearly cheap bearings).The wheels are soft (to be expected since they are rated 82A). Pros: good grip, better shock absorption. Cons: won't last long. Sort of con: they will quickly develop a "chisel" profile if you pronate while skating, which is bad since it makes you pronate even more, but it's also good because it will make you notice you pronate and push you to learn better form.

A little tall but worth the buy. One or 1/2 size up.

These work well, are comfortable, but not great if you're looking for more ankle support.
