Dude thanks for taking the time to watch it! Appreciate you.

Thanks man appreciate it. Hope you’re doing good.

Excited to see what you think of the carbons!

Thank you!!

did they also feel loose in your feet?

@@anaclarajac8268 not at all. I originally bought a size down, but it was too tight so I returned them and got my actual size. I wear a size 41-42 in sneakers so I ordered a 41-42 Aeon and they fit perfect. I actually use the lace loops to pull the laces tighter on the top of my foot and I get no heel lift.

My aeons are killing me are you still happy with the recall ?

@@3rdtwirl494 absolutely still loving them! If you are a 41 1/2 like me, kind of in between shell sizes, then you’ll love them

@@BladerReboot hi, thanks for your help. I’m thinking my aeons stock liner are too small. My size is 6.5 so I’m right at the larger dual sizing. so guessing a size up will help me as im 255in mono size . What liners were you also exploring ?

Haha I swear every car that drives by sounds like a UPS/FEDEX truck when you’re waiting for a package. Hope you’re enjoying them so far! It’s getting hot out here so tough to skate outside of early morning.

@@TwoQs i live in new Hampshire and this week has been the worste heat wave in a while. I always bring a gallon jug when i hit the park

🤘

I’ll keep those liners in mind when I upgrade. I’m in need of some new wheels at the moment and things aren’t cheap. Thanks for the recommendations!

Yeah man it took me a while to understand why I was having issues that other Aeon owners weren’t having. I’d be interested to try the old style cuff personally it looks better to me. Cheers man!

@@TwoQs Want to trade? Ha, ha! Agreed, the old one looks better.

I appreciate that. Thank you.

Good call! I meant to put PM not AM lol. I would have missed it myself had you not said anything.

@@TwoQs ohh wait it says PM. I must have miss read it. 😂

Is this thing on? Haha I was watching your video earlier. Glad you were able to get some time for yourself outside of work. You know those are all great questions and stuff I probably should have mentioned. Might have to make a follow up video to answer! You were definitely early on this channel and I very much appreciate it!! Cheers

@@TwoQs I work with a lot of people half my age or more and they all have their hobbies and passions. Learning about these kind of things give me easy and honest conversation starters so it is not all work and me being the disconnected boss. People first is the key to success.

Hey thanks! Appreciate the advice will see how it does.

Can also swap over the 45 strap. I have the regular aeons with the 45 strap and it’s a nice lock in

Hey the parks in my videos are all around Phoenix and surrounding suburbs. Mostly on the west since I live near Surprise. I know Chandler has a nice skatepark and there’s a ton in surrounding areas. Hope you’ve been able to find some good spots!

Haha AZ definitely has a distinct look.

@@TwoQs for sure. Great video. I put on my 20 year old 5th elements on and got the itch back, so I went grabbed a new pair of aeons and I love them

@@stuco Awesome! Thanks for your input, that's helpful. Have you tried street skating in them, or just the park? If street, being fat, how were they on less than perfect surfaces?

@@stuco Cool. Regardless, I still appreciate your feedback.

As someone mentioned different liners could definitely fill that space but for me personally I think cutting the cuff to make them a tighter fit was still the right move. Of course everyone is different though so try them out and see how it goes they might fit you right outta the box or they might need a little bit of customization. Let me know how it goes!

Thanks for the feedback @pinetop 🙏

@@TwoQs Thanks a lot for your input! I actually watched one of the USD videos where someone said there are score lines for you to cut them to your desired length specifically to get a better fit, but you figured it out by yourself. Cheers!

Hey from what I know your skates should be kinda snug but not to the point where they are restricting blood flow or anything. A lot of people get a better fit by replacing the liners with something like intuition liners. My aeons are snug and my feet do not slide around in them at all. Hope that kinda helps. Best of luck

@@TwoQs I’ve stuck a bottle in them. But I may just get a bigger size as I think I need 5cm more for out of box comfort.

That’s awesome man. I think you would love the Aeons. Honestly some new liners even with the aeon basics wouldn’t be the worst idea. I think the aeons are the best of both worlds between flat and the hard plastic wheels you speak of. You still have a huge block to do your grinds without sacrificing maneuverability. Welcome back to the sport 🙏

There was a heel lift in the boot. Once I took them out and made the cuts to the cuff they felt much better and have not bothered me since then. I’m still using the original liners for now but probably would benefit from some new ones.

Hello soldier hit 🇧🇷 I haven’t skated the blanks so I can’t give a fair comparison. I am still skating my Aeons though and they’re great.

Hello, I believe the "basics" which are the budget version of the Aeons only come in black. Pro models typically have some better hardware like liners, buckles that sort of thing and come in different colors but are a bit more expensive. I am still riding the Aeon basics every day and I would recommend them if you are trying to keep costs down. You can always upgrade things yourself over time. If you have the money go for the pro's as you will be future proofing yourself in a sense.

The lace tip is genius! Definitely gonna try that out.

@@TwoQs no worries! Works a treat for keeping your foot locked into the boot. If you get a liner with lace loops up the ankle you can lace it all the way from the bottom of the skate to the top of your ankle with long waxed laces and you are connected to the skate big time! ✌️

Hey man sorry for the late response. I’m gonna try to make a video response for you but in the meantime long story short I measured my foot in inches and sit exactly between 10 and 10 1/2 (about 27cm) and that is the exact size I got. They fit my feet perfect to where my toes don’t necessarily touch the edge of the boot but there’s also not much room in there. (If there is any room it’s like a cm) I would describe the fit as snug. Not necessarily tight and definitely not constricting in any way. It does sound like your boots might be a little too small. I had the same issue with them 908. The medium were barely too small but the large were too big. Different liners might have helped but I just ended up getting these aeons instead.

@@TwoQs Thanks so much for you response, it's very helpful. I really appreciate your willingness to make a response video, but certainly not necessary. I'm actually leaning towards different skates now as I seem to not only be in between Aeon sizes, but I'm also realizing that I will be doing more urban skating since I don't really have a skate park close by. I really like the aggressive style boot, but I'm not sure they provide enough support for the height of a 4x80 frame, as some people have suggested, but I maybe wrong. I've narrowed my search down to the following skates that are either aggressive ufs skates or more dedicated urban skates with a less "bicycle helmet" aesthetic: Razor Shift www.inlinewarehouse.com/Razors_Shift_Camo/descpage-10RSC.html Aggressive aesthetic, narrow fitting, higher cuff, but still concerned about urban skating support Roces M12 www.inlinewarehouse.com/Roces_M12_Lo_Team_Chestnut/descpage-M12213.html Agressive aesthetic, narrow fitting, concerned about the low cuff for support, would prefer a removable heel pad. K2 Uptownwww.inlinewarehouse.com/K2_Uptown/descpage-211801.html Aggressive aesthetic, good support, ufs, but concerned that it's too wide fitting as some have suggested. Powerslide Next Core 80 www.inlinewarehouse.com/Powerslide_Next_Core_80/descpage-908329.html Less aggressive aesthetic, but not as "bicycle helmet" as other urban skates, perfect for urban, have read about quality control issues. FR UFS AP www.inlinewarehouse.com/FR_Aggressive_Skates/catpage-FRSKTYPES1.html Kind of aggressive aesthetic, could work well for urban support. I know this is a lot, but if you have any thoughts, I'm all ears.

@@TwoQs Hi! Im looking to buy the Aeons and my foot are 27 (maybe little bit smaller) and was wondering what size you recommend me buying? What size do you use? My plan was to go for the 41-42 EU size.

Hey! My feet are about the same size and I use the 10-10-1/2 which it looks like is 43-44 for you.

@@TwoQs ok thanks! They are not to big?

I still love my carbons and use them all the time. They currently serve as my big wheel set up. I have some clear Kizer frames that were given to my by a friend plus 72mm compass wheels to go with them. The only issue I have with them is I get blisters on my left ankle if I skate for too long and with certain socks. Otherwise they are great especially if you want something versatile between aggressive and big frame setups.

Hey if im understanding your question correctly I cut the piece that is underneath.

@@TwoQs so the strap on the buckle side sits on top of the side you cut when fastening the skate?

My feet were not burning personally. You are the second person this week to leave a similar comment though so I guess some people are experiencing that. Might look into getting some different liners

@@TwoQs are there affordable options? Intuitions are £££

I’m still rockin the stock liners for now because intuition are so expensive. I’ve seen a lot of people say reign liners are a good fit if you can find them. Sorry I can’t be of more help. If I find any other info I’ll keep you updated.

@@TwoQs then seem ok .. took a LOOOOOONG two weeks of using bottles in the boot to open them up. But skated for 40min outside and they felt ok. Then started to tire… I’m hoping they will relax a bit more as i cant return them now

Okay I've just seen near the end of the video you said it was what you were grinding was fast for sliding. That makes sense. Take it easy!

Hey thank you for watching that for into the video! Agreed it is really cool that they make them that way with the scored lines. I wish they made that information a bit more apparent though or that shops added that info in there as a feature. My last name has 2 Q’s in it but no U’s so far a long time I went by “2Q’s No U’s” and it’s just shortened to 2Qs over the years. You are the first person to ask that on this channel haha. Cheers!

Tim! What up man. I am doing good. Hope you’re good as well 🙏
