Yup! Dunno where that came from! I also said bend my foot instead of bend my ankle. There are a couple of brain farts in there! Another classic - momentarily forgot heel pad, so called it a heel block.
This is the exact pair I picked up! I believe I have an anti-rocker set-up I believe. Hoping to get out today weather permitting and just learn how to ride around again.
i had the original fifth elements and they were great for street skating. i like that they came back... nice video

I had the k2 Fatty Pro and now I bought the Razors Shift 2, the feeling is terrible. Super uncomfortable, I really wish the k2 were still available. They are super light and the truth, enough for my skating. I see these Roces and they bring back a lot of memories, but I think nothing will be as comfortable as a K2.
for an old bold guy this was super sweet. i really dig cess slides, unity / savannah and wall rides, your edit was bang on my alley. nice review too, SUBBED!!!
Hi, I have the same "problem", being size EU 44,5 and having this size the skates are usually for shells 45 - 46, which I hate. I skated size 45 liners in 44 Razors genesys and it was the best feeling skate I've had. After a few years off skating I am looking to return into blading and skate at least a little, and I am considering M12s and Aeons. Have you tried them with smaller shells also? They both have the same shell sizing - 43-44 and the bigger shell is 45-46 and I would like to avoid having the bigger shell.
Love this video. Getting back into skating after a looooong time off (like 20 years...). Rode Solomon ST1s back then. Any suggestions on skates that are particularly good for a bit again skater?
This is a really great review. Thanks for all the detail. Your sizing comments were really clear, but they conflict a little with what I've read other places online. Can you compare the fit of these vs some other current skates? I'm skating the 43/44 Aeon shell and pretty much max it out. Should I expect the 43/44 5th Element to fit similar, or loser? Basically trying to decide if I need to downsize (which seems to be the internet wisdom). I'd prefer to go with the larger size and have some room for insoles or heel pads if needed for gaps rather than downsize and need a super thin liner. But I also don't want giant skates with a sloppy fit, and I've heard other comments like yours about foot movement in these.
I have skated both Aeons and Fifth Element and I would say the toe area on the Fifth Element is definitely wider. I rode the size 9UK Aeon when they first released the Nick Lomax and found fit perfect with a Fatboy liner. The size 9.5UK Fifth Element pretty much fits the same.
The Them U1 and Seba CJ are probably my favourite skates in terms of how they fit my foot. They both have wide toe boxes which suits my massive toes. The Fifth Element is definitely up there though. In fact, with the stock liner, it probably fits better than the U1. I never had the Intuition liners when I was riding the Fifth Elements, but the standard liner they come with is really comfortable. If I had the Intuition liner then I probably would have bought a size smaller Fifth. The Fifth has a better soul plate than the U1 but it's heavier and the plastic on the boot is softer and won't last as long. The U1 has a stronger/stiffer boot but the soul plate isn't as good. However, I love how tight it fits to my foot and how light it is. If Them made a slightly wider soul plate, I would be in heaven.
I didn't say tightening it worse. I said the cuff becomes so loose and floppy after a while that, no matter how much you tighten it, it still feels loose and lacking in support.
They say you should 1 size up for the M12 die to narrow fit. Do you think it's necessary to do the same for the 5th element even tho they're built wider? I'm tired of sending back skates after trying them on and getting wrong size lol
I want a memory foam buckle too
This is the most informative review of the fifth element's I've seen yet. Thanks!
Cheers, fellas.
0:50 That Memory foam buckle!!!

my first skates 1998 :)) I love seeing old skates but some of them just started to do the same skates over and over and over and over 😅
haha love the intro. Great video - keep em coming!

The matte with subtle sparkles reminds me of the Blue Salomon STstreets I had back in the days. They had the same look to them
Making those Savs look far too easy 🔥🔥
With these revival skates from the 90s...does mean blading is coming back?
It never left xD

Awesome review man. Keep the vids coming.

If you want cheap and cheerful, Roces. If you want to ride flat and like light skates, USD Aeons. Them 909 are light and responsive.
Thanks!

Great review!
you still like em after the u1 or compared to them? and are those 5ths good with intuitions?

Did your size 10 feet fit inside the 9.5 seba CJs??
Yes. They felt perfect. I think Sebas are quite generous size-wise.
I love ,future adquisition!!!! Low englis .... speed roller!!!!!!
Didn't umderstand what you said in the first minutes about the angle injury the guy had. It means the more tight it is the worst? Thanks!
I didn't say tightening it worse. I said the cuff becomes so loose and floppy after a while that, no matter how much you tighten it, it still feels loose and lacking in support.
@@wheelsceneblading thank you"
jajaja you are like the street version of Ricardo.
how wide is the heel? Is it the same as the M12?
I would say the heel is slightly wider. The feel like Valo Lights in terms of fit, if you have ever skated those.
@@wheelsceneblading Thanks, appreciate the info. Yea, m12s kill me heels on size 9. Seems like the fifths will be a good fit though.
@@blanked_out_chin it was usually my toes that always hurt in m12s. The Fifth Elements definitely solved that problem for me.
They say you should 1 size up for the M12 die to narrow fit. Do you think it's necessary to do the same for the 5th element even tho they're built wider? I'm tired of sending back skates after trying them on and getting wrong size lol
