Impala Quad Skate - Purple

My daughter loves it and had no complaints even take it to work just to skate

I've tried a few different brands, and they have been so-so. I have thick ankles and broad feet, so s some brands didn't work some brands didn't work out, even with lacing specific ways. I recently treated myself to a pair of Impala Roller Skates, and I can't help but gush about how stunning they are!

These skates are a beautiful blend of form and function and will elevate your skating experience to new heights. I absolutely love mine, and I can't recommend them enough!

I waited a few months to write this review, because I read about a concern with Impala boots separating at the heel, but I'm happy to report that I have not experienced this issue with my skates, so either I got lucky or the company has resolved the issue. Hopefully it's the latter. Just in case, the skates do come with a 3 month warranty. Aside from that, these boots are holographic beauties, and I get so many compliments every time I skate in them! They are especially mesmerizing to little girls. I added cheap vinyl toe caps that I also purchased from Amazon to protect the toe. I have narrow feet and wear a size 6-6.5. I ordered these in a size 6. They were a tiny bit snug at first, but after a couple sessions, they fit perfectly. The boot is well lined and cushioned and quite comfortable, but not breathable. So it's probably better to get a leather boot if your feet are particularly sweaty. I wear them with ultra light wool hiking socks. If you have wide feet or bunions, you can size up and also look up different ways to lace up your skates. The stock wheels are pretty decent for both indoor and outdoor use, though I did end up switching them out for some Radar Energy 78A wheels for bumpy pavement. The stopper is not adjustable, but you definitely need to adjust the trucks before skating or the wheels will feel super stiff and hard to roll. Make sure you order a skate tool and YouTube how to use it. Overall, I think these skates are a great value for beginners!

Fits great and the colors still pops after many adventures. Smooth wheels and classic style that never dies.

I grew up on quad skates and prefer them to rollerblades. I bought these to replace a 25-year-old pair of classic Roller Derby lace-ups for outdoor skating, and they are a major upgrade. The wheels are big and soft enough to ride out sidewalk cracks and loose gravel on asphalt and I can skate much faster on these than on my old Roller Derby skates, which have smaller, harder wheels and soft boots. The boots are comfy and have decent padding (you will probably want to wear at least a medium-weight sock) and lace quickly. I wear a 6.5-7 shoe and bought these in size 7. If you have a wide foot you may find the toe box a tad narrow. Finally, these are adorable and your friends will be jealous. I paid $99, think this is a decent mid-range skate for casuals. Now I just need a tutu and some cuter socks.

Update: I upgraded my rating to 4 stars once I learned from the seller that the skates were packaged and fulfilled by Amazon. Although, I still don’t know why the skates smell strongly of cigarette smoke, I assume that Amazon is also partially to blame. Wherever these skates originated from, came from a place with a “cigarette smoker.” 🚬🤮 This is the second pair of roller skates we’ve ordered from Impala. The first pair that I received were the wrong size and smelled heavily of cigarette smoke. I re-ordered the correct size thinking that the 1st issue was an isolated issue. The 2nd pair also smelled strongly of nasty cigarette 🤢 smoke. I had to air them out, outside. I have respiratory issues at times and the overwhelming scent of cigarette smoke triggered a lot of coughing for me. If it weren’t for that, I would have given these skates a 5-star review. It’s probably best to not smoke around your products.

Just get them!

Idénticos y buenos

PROs: These skates have lasted me a year or solid skating - trail and artistic. They are a perfect starter pair as they have really solid ankle support. Very cute pattern, and helped me get into skating. CONs: The faux leather lining was cracking along the heel after two months. As these are really stiff skates, they aren't the best for artistic skating, but I did learn the basics just fine in them. After a year of skating I am upgrading to Moxis.
