I got those... they were bloody garbage, most uncomfortable skates I ever wore. Should have gone with FR 80s. I got these after a few years off skating due to injury and as my SEBA FRX 80s did not fit anymore... didnt think my feet would grow a size in my 30s, weird. I have to agree, K2 as a brand, garbage. Horrible skate, not comfy at all. At best these may work on a rink, certainly not outdoors. Support sucks and there is zero cushioning, the insole was the thinnest I have ever seen, so you are absorbing all shock and the bolt is going right into your heel. The moulded wheel frames were at a weird degree angle, so forces your feet outwards too far, so you cannot roll with a natural position going straight. The ankle support was weak, far too much movement and once you break the boot in, just collapses. The WORST part is the boa system, it sounds good in theory, but in practice not great. You cannot adjust the tightness in specific areas, it will tighten uniformly. So if you need it tighter around the ankle but not your foot, it will cut off blood to your foot, not great, laces are better. I prefer tighter around the ankle and less around my foot. I wanted to like them, but for $250, Rollerblade make a better budget rec skate, but honestly you are better off getting FR 80 skates for the same price with a hard shell, amazingly comfy Liner, better bearings, wheels and custom options. These things can look and sound cool, but in reality are bloody crap. Downside is you dont realise this until you use them and thus, cannot return them.

I was about to buy those. Thank you, I feel like having dodged a bullet here. What model in that price region can you recommend?

I was considering getting these K2’s until I watched your review. I grew up skating but haven’t skated in 15 years and just looking for a good pair to help me teach and skate w my 6 year old. Looking to spend between $150-$200, what would you recommend at that price point?

Great info. I like your honesty

Question, what street asphalt wheels and bearings would you recommend for K2 F.I.T. 80 Boa Inline Skates 2019??

Do you think these would be worth it for $60 with a pad set lightly used just getting into skating since i was a kid and dont want to drop too much to start up again then probably look into some FRXs

I got em for $84 after not skating for 13 years, its the best cheap way for me to get back into the groove, once I do ill get a higher range pair if I still love it like I used to.

I have these, been skating them for about a year. While not amazing, I find them very comfortable, Im able to get them almost as tight as my ski boots with the BOA system, i love the BOA laces, absolutely no issue after about 500 miles on them. I did replace the wheels/bearings as they were slow, but I mean it's basically low budget resistance training. I skate around my local city and parks. I know they're fitness skates but i do some pretty aggressive skating in them and its been (moderately) successful. Surprisingly I actually was able to a slightly modified soul grind on these. (i dont know trick names yet i just kinda do a thing and look it up to see what its similar too) The only thing i don't like is the plastic frames. I've had a few falls that have beat them up quite a bit. They are a fine skate but definitely overpriced.

Do u mean 1/2 size smaller then my Hockey skate in Bauer or Mission or street show size I use like Vans? Their ALU did mention running small but using my own wheels & bearings aside, can it be a good beginner trainer skate ?

How well a bearing spins without any weight on it doesn't say anything about how well it spins under pressure. Also, a new, well greased bearing usually doesnt spin that well when you spin it by hand, as the grease holds it back. A bearing that is old and completely dry can, however, spin like for ever in your hand, as theres no grease/liquid holding it back. Doesnt say anything bout its performance when skating it though. Also, the ABEC scale is pretty useless for inline skate bearings, you wont feel a difference between an ABEC 1 or ABEC 9 (general build quality assumed). Just fyi.

Bloody hell. The only blades I can find in stock right now are K2's. Anyone know where I can find the macroblade?

I noticed that the new one has aluminum frame, do you think the new version is better?

You deserve more subs for the roller community🙏

Hello, question regarding those thin wire laces. Are they durable or do they look like they break or snap easily?

good info!

Which fitness skate would you recommend me? Thank´s

The 2022 models are now $102 on the K2 website. I'm tempted to get them but are they better than the 2021 model?

I have fireflys inline skates with Abec 3 bearings and I think they are match more better from this and for me,mines are very comfy. They are only 70 euros and for that price are I am putting them a solid 8/10

Good to know!

Still looking for a pair!

Saw these in the store for $170. No way they are worth that. 100 maybe. spot on review

The bearings on those are really bad on my pair too.

Oh shit son! Dropping more truth bombs! There goes your K2 sponsor deal 🤣🤣🤣😜

So boa Systems are a no go after all... even for women?

LMAO the vO2 100 wheel are still spinning on the floor after the next cut. 1:02

K2 fit skates stay the hell away even if you are a new skater

Yeah tried these ones on. They're really bad

God how is anyone supposed to pick from the 10 million models out there now. Just luck of the draw with what you can find

my arterial wall on my brainstem is about to burst (like pam reynolds)

Fricken K2 man

these skates are brutal can confirm
