Good Skate. Would benefit from better liner., August 31, 2018 By Jonathan (Dalton, GA)
For some people, this skate is perfect. It's lightweight, nimble, slides well, and the parts are cheap and replaceable.
It is, however, narrow. I can't personally enjoy it as much as I would like because of the lines near the arch of the foot. There is bascially no shock absorption, either. Which I think would be a cheap part to add. That being said, these issues have always been true for this mold - so it's not a knock against the V13 specifically.
Good budget skate.
Awesome., June 13, 2018 By Anonymous (Gardena, CA)
I really don’t know why it took me so long to try these out. The flex and boot shape is absolutely perfect, but be aware the the soul space isn’t super wide; for reference, my carbon souls are only a smidge wider. As for sizing, I feel like they’re to size. Go up a size if needed, but only if it doesn’t carry you into a larger boot. The liners that come with the skate may feel tight at first, but after one session they mold right on your foot. 10/10 I will buy again. #valo4now
This skate is a remake of a cult classic skate that almost every blader skated at one point in time. Recommend these to anyone, be sure to size up as specified. Only complaints are poor shock aborbstion and stiff cuffs.
Ask a question, get help, send feedback, whatever!
