A bit heavy for freeriding, January 6, 2020 By Albert (Brooklyn, NY)(Verified)
I got these for my first rollerblades since my long hiatus. I got these because I wanted to get back to basic inline skating with a proper form, but was planning to get back into aggressive skating when I get used to it again. These fit really tight at first but after loosening up the laces, I was able to fit my foot in and then tighten them back up. The liners take a few sessions to get really comfortable. I wish the tongue of the liners were a bit higher.
The wheels felt great at first, but after 20 miles, I lost a lot of roll and felt like I was exerting more energy than I used to so definitely upgrade the stock wheels once they've run out of polyurethane.
I've skated them for a 12-mile session and they just felt too heavy to skate them comfortably. Maybe it's just because I didn't have the proper form so I'm continuing to get better at my strides.
I have the 110mm wheels with the cosmo soul plates now and they are very stiff (in a good way) and I feel like the power transfer is great. Once again, I think the weight of the boots sort of hinder me right now to skate farther.

This is a deal. I bought the cosmos first and then bought ice skate frames, then bought aggressive frames. Each of my set ups has a different soul plate.
These boots are sexy. Their flexible to your needs. I take cosmos to work. I switch to the aggressive set up when I'm at the skate park. When I feel like it I go ice skating as well. I also take the cosmos down asphalt river side trails.
These are unequivocally greatest skates I've ever owned. The Razors Metro bag let's you keep another setup in your backpack as well.
The amount of value you get out of this product suite is unbelievable. The build quality is phenomenal. The look is killer. Go black on soul plates if you have an option.
The only downsides are they are a bit tight at first (this goes away quickly) and they can be a bit squeaky. It's such a minor concern for me because the build quality is so good.
Seriously if you enjoy skating and have several use cases, these will save space in your apartment \ car. It's literally amazing that you can have a $300 skate when you go ice skating or free skating. I feel like I got $900 worth of skates for like $450.
Literally incredible. Again these are the greatest skates I've ever owned, hands down.
