i hope yours come just as quickly!! and i hope you love them :)

ah thank you so much! this is exactly why i made it. i am a fanatic about watching reviews before i make a purchase and i found nothing on Riedell, but i trusted that if they manufacture Moxi they’re skates would be as nice. glad i could help :)

Where did you put order from if you don’t mind me asking? I’m looking for a pair too!

@@TheSwellBell Empire Skates Upland!

How long did yours take to come in?

yay! i love them! i am about to cruise with them when i get off work. they have held up SOOO well

Have you gotten yours yet? How long did they take to come in? I just ordered some too but I'm a little impatient haha

Riedell does offer custom colour lab options for their boots, so you could get these boots in a different colour if you want. You can also get this model in tan, and dye them yourself (I’ve seen some people do this on reddit)

Thank you!! I'm glad it was :)

ahh i was wondering if i was the only one! i’ve seen a more advanced skater using the zen wheels on asphalt and i was like how?! haha they only feel nice to me at the skate park or really smooth ground like that. i have the 78a radar energy wheels in the mail! i hope they come in soon

Chelsea Vivas yeah for some reason a lot of people like them? I’ve slipped on them three times before Bc they weren’t grippy enough, and that was on a tennis court 😬. But 78a wheels are way better, and I’ve heard great things about radar energies! Apparently small enough to make doing tricks easier.

@@joanmccarthy4809 I've been loving my Rollerbones Miami 78a's. I recommend them highly.

ah okay thanks for the insight! i’m under the impression the inside lining wasn’t leather even under the decorative fabric. the Lolly isn’t as stiff as the 135. the Jack is stiffer though, so maybe it’s lined with leather. you can upgrade the linings when you customize them too so i’m not sure when they come with leather lining, maybe just the jack boot? I’ve heard from someone who used to work in the factory that the Moxis are made slightly less quality to make up for the upcharge of all the fancy colors (if you ordered the 135 boot from Riedell you’d have to pay $100 for a custom color). that’s something i was looking at when i was originally gonna order the Lolly and I ended up just getting the black boot and avoiding and further charges lol. the only upcharge i paid was for my plate is in reference to getting an aluminum instead of a nylon. Nylon plate is standard on both, but I upgraded to an aluminum plate. my total was $40 more than a pair of Lollys and i upgraded $170 for the Reactor Neo plate (so that’s a deal!). I know Riedell manufactures Moxi, but Riedell is more affordable in their packages, just with less fun colors. (also, Moxi charges $100 for a wide size, but with Riedell that’s free). it’s a give and take depending on what you want! if I keep park skating I might end up wanting to try a Jack boot. and nice to know your boots are holding up!! i’m looking forward to having mine for years. i learned to opt for the adjustable toe stop through much research and videos before ordering lol! i believe your plate has to be compatible and there’s two types (one uses a washer and nut, and mine doesn’t). maybe your plate accommodates the first one i mentioned

@@ChelseaViroz Honestly, this skate is the more financially reasonable one. Another great set of wheels are the Atom Pulse wheels. That's what i've been using the last two years and they're so bomb outside.

Marcos De Santiago funny you say that because i just ordered those! they’ll arrive Monday for me. i’m excited to try them out

Wondering if these are stiffer around the ankle than the lollies?

Heather Beardwood hi there!! yes these are a TAD bit stiffer but nowhere near a Jack boot stiffness. they don’t feel stiff at all, but if you’re comparing to a Lolly the ankle holds up a little better and the tongue is a tad bit thicker as well. this is because it’s lined with leather on the inside instead of the lining of the Lollys. i’ve researched this and compared to friends skates and can confirm that the Lollys do not come lined with leather on the inside, they are visibly thinner than my Riedells but by one suede lining. I’ve been doing aggressive park skating and they are holding up so well and i can see in comparison to my friends Lollys that they hold up a little better by the ankle crease areas, but are virtually still not as supportive as Jack boot or other material skates. they’re gonna be long lasting and they clean up well even after taking a beating. however, if i keep aggressive park skating i might want to get a second skate set with a stiffer ankle support because when i practice jumps or new tricks i can’t imagine these would protect from an ankle injury

Glad I could help!! :)

yes no problem!! i’ll do that sometime within the next week :) i just got new wheels so i’m also gonna film putting wheels on and off and bearing in and out :)

Chelsea Vivas 🥰 can’t wait

I learned everything from Reddit, KZfaq, and instructions that came with my bearing cleaner. The plates I didn’t know anything about until right before I ordered my skates someone I follow on Instagram had cracked their Nylon plates, that’s when I started looking into it and I saw a recommendation that if you’re near 200 lbs or planning on skating aggressively you should upgrade to metal plates. i figured it would save me money in the long run to start with good plates instead of upgrading later. and yes! the reddit has been slammed with Moxi talk even though they’ve created a designated place for that.. hopefully it gets more organized or more people keep posting general skating stuff. I chose the black because I was indecisive and impatient.. I knew I liked jade but I couldn’t get myself to commit so I decided to get a plain color since it would ship faster anyways. my plan is to set aside money every month so i can get a second pair of skates in jade and make them my park setup with blocks and stuff (changing my wheels everyday has gotten annoying!)

My feet require a very small arch so I'm not sure I'd be the best to guide you :/ but you could always buy insoles (a lot of my friends have) to make the sole more supportive to your arch and make it more comfortable

the tongue doesn’t slip for me much once it’s tied. i skate for an hour or two and it’ll have barely moved. the boot of the Riedell citizen and Beach bunny do look alike! (i also believe you can pay a custom fee to get the citizen boot in a custom color). the main difference is the quality of the plates. i’ve seen some questionably defective photos posted to reddit of the beach bunny plate since it’s made in China vs the high quality powerdyne plates you can get from Riedell. either is a good supporting boot! I just prefer suede boots. hope this helped!

@@ChelseaViroz Thanks so much! It's nice to know the tongue on these ones might be better than the Lollys. That literally is the only issue I have with my Lollys. Next time I'm in the market for a new pair of skates, I am going to try these. Also, I didn't realize you could pay extra to change the color on the citizen boot, that's good to know!!

@Hoopgal321 I currently purchased Citizen 111 as my first beginner skate. I am expecting to receive the order before the end of this month. How many years did your Citizen 111 skates lasts? Thank you.

I have the same issue with my Lollies. I placed a strip of Velcro inside the tongue and press against my socks to prevent the tongue from moving.

Wow I'm so happy I inspired you to buy them!! You will love them! I ordered a size 8 and they are perfect. My street size is 9.5 :) I hope this helps

I have the same question.

I wear a 9.5 wide or a 10 normal in women's and about an 8-8.5 in men's. I got a skate size 8!

i mainly skate outdoors and dance for fun so i wouldn’t be able to tell ya.. but post this question in the rollerskating reddit and i’m sure someone will have a better answer for you!

Chelsea Vivas thank you!

Zing Johnson no problem!! i’m a beginner at the whole dancing on skates haha so i do it for fun but don’t know what’s the best boot for it. i know suede boots are mainly for outdoors so that’s why i got a suede. Riedell has a category on their website of rhythm skates if you want to get an idea of what they classify as good skates for dance

@@ChelseaViroz any updates from m dancing ? I’m super curious

I upgraded my plate to an aluminum one. My total came out to $40 more than the total for a Moxi Lolly on a nylon plate. Depending on what you pick for your wheels, bearings, plate, etc will bring you more expensive than Moxi Lolly but better quality too

depends on the plate you choose. the stock plate has adjustable toe stops. hers is not stock.

I think as long as they are suede with a metal plate they'll be fine. i did a ton of park skating in these and they still look pretty new!

@@ChelseaViroz Great. Glad to know. I guess it makes sense as they manufacture Moxi skates too.

@@ChelseaViroz Hi

Hey! If you go to Riedell’s website they have a sizing chart and the pdf that you can print out to measure accurately for their skates.

I still love them! I skate a lot in them

there are plenty of videos of the Moxi Lolly on here.

men’s sizing! i’m normally a woman’s 9.5 and i got a size 8.
