@@vivianapenaloza3758 Thank you so much!!!! Yes they clean up really nice and will look like new! I love the light blue and yellow as well so for me, knowing they will look good after some wear is a huge plus.
I have these skates in a different color and the break in statement is true. I broke them in by my second ride. The bearings they come with aren't fast but perfect for beginners or people who might be rusty like myself. I'm impressed with them. Pretty nice for cheaper skates.
@@vickyc2419 Mine fit very snug when I first put them on and they have pretty much stayed that way😂 I just wear regular calf socks instead of really thick ones that I would typically wear to skate. But if they feel uncomfortable now, might be best to size up while you still can.
Haha good catch! 😂 He started to skate after watching Back to the Future and ended up learning to skate Mongo. I'm stoked you like the skates! I would love to see more of these retro style blades out there!!
Just to let everyone know since I am a USA 6.5 don’t listen to the Impala website when it says to size up the size 7 compared to the size 6 is humongous like it makes the size 6 look like a baby skate. In-line skates you want it to be tight you don’t want it where your foot is moving around.
Awe! So glad to hear that 🙌 The wheels are flat on my skates at the moment (I've actually never skated with a rockered setup😭) Next time a swap out my wheels I'll give it a go!
I was advised not to get them because the materials aren't as durable and was told to just go directly for aggressive skates. For a person who is mostly just into cruising and some artistic skating, would you think that these are good skates or should we look at higher level skates instead?
That's interesting! For mixing cruising and artistic, my go-to has always been Rec skates. I would traditionally wear inline skates from Roces and Rollerblade. Price-wise, these skates are comparable and I think a lot of brands these days a sacrificing some durability to be more competitive on price. I've had really good luck with the durability of the Impalas, but their #1 feature is the retro look and colorways. So, if quality materials/durability is your main goal, I would look for a high-end pair of Rec skates. If you love the look of the Impalas, I think you will pleasantly surprised by the durability and comfort👍
@@IntergalacticMotoBandits Thank you so much for the input! Definitely Impala knows that their winning feature is the amount of care that went into the design. I'm happy to know that they're rather durable!
Surprisingly well! I mainly skate on asphalt and have no problems. And I don't go out of my way to avoid cracks/uneven concrete. I just cruise right over and hope for the best!
@@IntergalacticMotoBandits thanks for answering, I’m still not sure if I want to buy skates or blades... I have history with both but I’m always afraid with skates that around here the streets could be to rough
@@Rikachan92 the impala blades are better than their quad skates based on quality, i heard. I got myself a pair of impala quads and I don't regret it as a beginner
🤣🤣🤣right! its so handy! There are probably a few on the market, but we have the one from Insta360 and basically when you are shooting on one of their 360 cameras (similar to a GoPro) it removes the selfie stick from the shot.
100% yes! When I bought these I hadn't skated in forever and I really appreciated the high ankle support. They also don't go super fast which could be a downside for some, but as a beginner it is a plus. (Also they do come with a brake, I just didn't install mine)
For recreational wheels, they handle the asphalt really well I think, but they are definitely better suited to concrete. If you are going to primarily skate on asphalt, it may be best to swap out the wheels for something softer and more forgiving on rocks and such.
I'm a size 8, so I ordered the 8's. They are really really snug, so I can't wear thick socks with them. I think the 9's would feel comfy and then you can wear big socks!
To some extent yes, if you splurge on the wheels/bearings I think you will feel a difference. Also they come with 70mm wheels, but you can change them out for 72mm. I have always skated in 80mm wheels and would use them for distance/exercise. These definitely require more effort to get up to that speed! I am considering upgrading my wheels, so if I do I'll definitely post an update on how they feel👍
Good question! Ok I just took a look at them and the white plastic outer boot area is in really good shape. There are scratches for sure, but they are hard to see unless you're looking for them. I also have some dirt stains on the interior boot, but when everything is laced up you can't see it👍
Idk if you're a beginner but I am (5 months) and I have these exact inlines but in blue annnnd they are VERY scratched on the sides (noticeable). I fall a lot though.
@@micaelagarcia6079 ohhhh that's interesting! I haven't taken any falls yet but that's only because I haven't really pushed myself to learn a lot of tricks and things outside my comfort zone. I'm wondering if once I have a few crash and burns the scratches will be more noticeable... Also, I absolutely love the blue ones! I hope they still look cute even with the scratches.
For sure!! The song is "Dancing with the Devil" by Bonkers Beat Club👍 Its a vibe right!? haha. We get all our music for the channel from Epidemic Sound :)
Straight out of the box they were decently quiet, but I have since run them through sand, puddles, etc. and of course that has impacted their speed/noise level. Depending on your skate preferences it may not be a bad idea to swap out the bearings. Hope this helps!
I really want to purchase a pair of these. I am worried about the arch. Does it burn? Or are they wobbly? I bought a pair of Mongoose blades from the thrift store and they are so wobbly. I feel like a new born baby deer when I'm skating in them. They hurt so bad. I put my nieces cheap blades on and they were awesome. I am just wondering how they feel and if they are stable. Thank you!
Oh my gosh I completely know that feeling!!! You are not alone, haha. The Impala's fit really, really snug. I have high arches and poor ankle stability and the Impala boot seems to just wrap everything up tight and hold it. I thought maybe that would get uncomfortable on long skates but for some reason I don't tend to get blisters or anything like that unless I'm wearing thin socks. All that to say, I think in comparison to the Mongoose blades, you are probably going to feel more secure. Oh and also, I have found cheap blades can feel and handle really well when they are new! They just don't last unfortunately 🙃
@@IntergalacticMotoBandits Okay thank you! I am going to order some today! Did you get your normal shoe size or did you get a size up? I’m a 7 and I’m wondering if I should get an 8.
@@lissaeureste2277 I'm so excited for you!!!! You're going to love them. I wear a size 8 and ordered size 8, but they are really snug. So if you decide to size up you can wear nice thick socks... or order true to size and wear regular socks. Good luck!!!
Bro just called Moxi “high fashion”, Moxi is a an all around lower quality skate made for consumerists who like pretty colors, thats what Impala is trying to do with this skate.
Isn’t that the definition of “high fashion” though? The aesthetic as opposed to the operation? Not to say Moxis are bad I’ve never had them but ya know.
@@safadk4021 They are unfortunately! I paid $140 USD. Prior to getting these ones, I never paid more than $80 for skates so they were definitely expensive to me. But its been a year and they still look new!

*They are easy to clean lol

So glad you had a similar experience with them! I've never broken in a pair of skates so quickly 😂 Usually its a couple of weeks with blisters.
Did you find them tight to start with? Mines arrived today and I’m unsure if they’ll loosen a little or if I should size up 😅

@@IntergalacticMotoBandits Thanks for replying!
@@IntergalacticMotoBandits you can make them faster with better bearings
@@ashleyhewes5126 That's a great tip! Let us know if there's any in particular that you would recommend 👍
i got these and they were big on me even though i got my size
How have these hold up when skating in the street?
For recreational wheels, they handle the asphalt really well I think, but they are definitely better suited to concrete. If you are going to primarily skate on asphalt, it may be best to swap out the wheels for something softer and more forgiving on rocks and such.
I have a question? What size are you ? I am a size 8 and a half so what size should I get ?
