I’ve been skating them for a week or 2.
They are comfy and skate great to me.
I have 2 pair, I put some glue over the mesh parts just in case.
They maybe feel slightly weird for 2 minutes but they are def legit like broken in right out of the box.

I ordered normal size and they are tight. Maybe padding will crush down and feel better but currently I'd order a half size larger. Toecap also feels weird/uncomfortable on toes. Yet to skate but the shoe is cushioned and looks rad.

Thanks, i think I'm going to give them a try.  Something to skate in and go on neighborhood walks with the family too.

Yeah you might want to go half a size up, I ordered mine in my normal size and they are a little shorter than most 11s I buy, but not uncomfortable too tight, just like comfortably snug.
But it’s just something to consider.
My wife says they make my feet look really small haha.
But idk I love how they feel.

Half size up is the way to go. I have a pair I bough true to size and it’s slight short. Width is perfect for my feet but I do notice my big toe slightly pokes that tip of the shoe. Skatabily? I never tried it felt weird to me either the shape of the sole so I always just stuck skating the Lynx. Can’t wait for the OG to come out

In case anyone's looking for a pair I just found these in every size for $36. They're on Tillys which sucks, but you really can't beat that price.

I have those and got them from tillys 2 weeks ago, couldn’t pass up that price.

I got wide feet so I found them to do the dreaded 'fat foot', but they're pretty tight other than that.
