I am skating these right now, the blue version was heavily discounted so cheap enough to try out.
It has some good points and bad points.
It's a narrow fit, and with the fly-wire system, you can tighten it without feeling like it only tightens the top laces/part of your foot. Without any shifting of your feet in the shoe, it helps with your proprioception. Even though it might feel uncomfortable at first, I think it's a good thing. That said it's slightly too narrow at the front of my feet which impacts my big toe on the sides slightly. The length is normal, so I wouldn't size up or down.
The rubber clearly holds up much longer then a regular suede shoe, and if you clean it a bit it doesn't even show the damage on the material. I think you have to go through the edge of the sole first to get any holes on the front of the shoes. The material below my ankle bone fucked up in a few days because switch/nollie heels hit just above the rubber part for me. Flipping is definitely different with this material, and it stays different throughout. You get used to it pretty fast, but I definitely prefer regular suede once it's broken in. These stay very firm even after skating for some time. Another bad point is how the laces are positioned, they seem to rip after 2 sessions.
So overall not a bad shoe, especially if you can get it at a good discount.
