Fila Houdini Pro 110mm Unisex Fitness Inline Skates, 3x110mm Wheels

Like many others recently, I'm an adult who decided to get myself the first pair of inline skates I've had since the 90's. I did quite a bit of research/shopping around before settling on this pair of skates, and I'm very satisfied with my purchase. My main criteria for shopping were that the skates were less than $250, had 3x110mm wheels, had ABEC 9 bearings, had a hard-shell boot, and were preferably from a brand I had heard of before. These skates checked all those boxes off. As of writing this, I've taken these skates out six times and put 9-10 hours on them, and can say that I'm satisfied with how they ride. I ordered half a size up and they fit me great. My 2nd and 3rd times out with them, they were a bit tight around my ankles, making them sore, but not necessarily painful. Since then, they seem to have softened and feel great now. I am able to really tighten them down for a nice stable ride and they still feel comfortable. I've been riding these on a path that is fairly trafficked by bikers and walkers and have had a few experiences where someone cut me off, blocked me from turning, slowed down in front of me, etc... And while I'm an experienced skater who knows how to T-stop, I decided that I wanted a heel brake to feel safer in these situations. So I got the universal Powerslide Urban Heel Brake for 3x110 skates. They installed in minutes, fit perfectly, and give me much much more confidence slowing and stopping. I would recommend these skates to anyone who is looking for a sub-$250 pair of 3x110 skates.

These wheels are super fast and comfortable on neighborhood roads. It takes a little getting used to the size of the wheels, but they feel well-balanced on the boot of the blade. The foam boot is snug inside the hard plastic boot which prevents your ankles from bending too far (the way I was used to back in the 90s). Package came with 1x rubber gripped allen wrench tool. Boots were new condition. Packaged and shipped correctly. Blades have come so far in design. I'm glad these blades remind me so much of my older pairs, but even more advanced/professional feeling.

I love these. They were a major upgrade for me. I've been rollerblading off and on for fun and exercise since I was a kid (almost 34 now). Because I have small feet I've always just bought inexpensive kids rollerblades. These have allowed me to take my skating up a major notch. They look great and because the wheels are so much bigger than my previous pair, I can skate on rougher terrain without falling. They can accumulate great speed and while heavy, haven't been difficult to learn to maneuver in. I love these. I'm a woman btw. They say they're for men but fit my narrow feet very snug.

Very nice.

The only potential drawback is that there are no breaks. But I’ve gone copy a couple of times. The large , 10 in wheels make you supper speedy. Also, it’s easy to be agile. The boot feels good. I ordered a size and half up. They fit nicely. I love street skating. My old pair finally gave up the ghost. I am pleased so far.

They are alright over all. I wouldnt go down hill with stock wheels/bearings, there's way to much play in the bearings. Wheels are pretty decent though. The boots and rails constantly sound like they are about to fall apart, but they havent yet after about 4 hours of use anyways. I wouldnt recommend to a beginner.

The buckle and laces system gives you all the leverage you need to get comfort and stability. These go fast. There is no brake out of the box. I haven't had to attach one yet. Use these at night sometimes at the park. Got a headlamp I put over my hat and a reflective vest. Anyway these wheels look like they'll last a good long time. Very pleased and i feel that these are worth every cent. UPDATE: Bearing removal tool that's included is not good. Needed to buy a better one (for cleaning the bearings)
