*They are easy to clean lol

@@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.

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 😅

@@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!!

@@IntergalacticMotoBandits Back to the future is fire, so who am I to judge him haha 😂

Very cool! That's great news 👍

Thanks🤗

Ayee!!! Thank you so much for the love 🙌🙌🙌

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!

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!

@@MminaMaclang Exactly!! Thank you so much for watching🙌

Oh that's so rad!!!! If I see you out there I will wave 👋👋

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 If you end up going with the skates let me know! I'm also curious how well they would perform.

@@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

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)

@@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 👍

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.

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👍

🤣🤣🤣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.

@@IntergalacticMotoBandits Amazing!

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!

@@IntergalacticMotoBandits ty

@@CozyAsha of course! Hope you love yours🙌

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 yh I would be a beginner too

@@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 :)

@@IntergalacticMotoBandits Thank you!

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!

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 you should buy a size up. I bought my same size and fits me so exactly I need to change it. :(

@@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!!!

@@IntergalacticMotoBandits They will be here tomorrow 👏🏼👏🏼. I will keep you posted!

OMG Thank you!!!!! 🙌 And thank you for watching!!!!

Bombas👍

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.

thank you!! I really like them!

@@IntergalacticMotoBandits how much do they cost ? i think they are expensive

@@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!

@@IntergalacticMotoBandits l'm sorry i live in algeria (africa) i asked you about their price only because i want to know how much they are somewhat in my contry or in french because i want to buy then from one of tow contries in my contry they are expensive and they are sold very expensive and are of poor quality in algeria (my contry (

@@safadk4021 That makes sense, and that's so frustrating! If its possible for you to purchase directly from Impala or one of their retailers I would definitely try to do that!
