80s can do anything like tricks, speed, commute. 110s are better for speed and cruising, less versatile for tricks. I enjoy they require less maintenance (12 bearings instead of 16) and the bearings are better protected against dirt or moisture since they are taller.

For you I would go 110.

I would say they lend to the narrower side. Try the RB Pro X or Lightning, those should be wider. Flat feet should work in any boot, though mind the cushioning.

I just got mine, I have pretty wide feet (at least when I need regular shoes), and tbh, I feel they feel little bit to wide (they touch my feet on both sides, but I don't feel enough support - I mean maybe I'm complaining about nothing as I had looooooong break from rollers, so maybe after some time I will think they are perfect:) but now, I feel the pressure on sides is to little (like i would prefer a bit more support,) however my feet don't move to sides, I can easily do anything I can on ice skates (easy slaloms etc). That being said, I think they might be pretty nice for a wide feet:) - plus if they would feel just a bit to narrow, the inside liner will probably adjust to your feet after 10-30 km of riding:))

Not sure on that one. I do not believe the cuff has undergone any major changes for some time. Best chance is to email Rollerblade, last time I had a compatibility question they were super helpful.

@@seriouslyreallyserious thanks for taking the time to reply. Afraid neither RB support or other retailers have been able to answer that directly. The cuff on new Twisters look totally different from the outside but I've heard like you that technically not much had changed. So i've taken a risk and ordered a new cuff. Let's see if it fits. 🤞

Let us know if that works out. Best of luck!

For me I am a 9.5 to 10 in shoes (US Size) and ordered 9-9.5 for Rollerblade. Unless you like thick socks, go with size 10.

Agreed. It gets really gritty when you do so. Wanted some basic chords as I wasn’t feeling too well. More module stuff to come, though!

Most of the padding is in the ankle area; I believe because it does not stay compressed for long, it has maintained most of its loft/thickness. I do not think sizing down is a good idea as these are somewhat slim already, your foot may start to cramp. In actuality I have recently found the boot may be too short. If you find a boot is too loose, consider using padded socks or an indoor to adjust fit. These come with a footbed insert which reduces internal volume (I.e. tighter fit). Another option is to use padded socks, though I prefer I unpadded myself.

Hi! Wheels are Rollerblade Hydrogen. Used once indoors, it may grip a lot but is suitable. Going to something harder like the Mushroom Blading or Powerslide Spinners (87a and higher) will be a bit better indoors. I think the bearings are Black Panther Ceramics, they are pretty good. Rains a lot here so it helps - alongside using Gel Lubricant - keep the ball bearings from corroding. They are not necessary, as my other skates have normal CrMo Steel Ball bearings and are just fine.

More to come, many thanks!

Appreciate the comment, groove on!

I hope as I practice more I find my sound. Thank you!

@@seriouslyreallyserious I'm sure you will find your sound 🙂

Appreciate it, groove on!

Where you see the scratches or hear squeaking, a small amount of wax should mitigate further problems; just make sure to not add too much or anything liquid.

@@seriouslyreallyserious Thx for the tips! I think it'll disappear it's just because it's a new liner had the same things in my powerslide but i 'll use it if the problem persist ;)

Much appreciated. I am looking to diversify the content to show my interests, with more practical skate videos to come.

I skate with it pretty much everyday. If you are an urban skater, it should suit you well. With that said, once you get it, try them on with the socks you skate with, on carpet, after running in place for two minutes. That will tell you if they fit comfortably. If they fit, then you are good. Let me know if you need any further help. Skate on!

@@seriouslyreallyserious ty very much!

Skate on!

​@@seriouslyreallyserious U 2 mate cheers

Soft boots are great for exactly those users. Great to hear you are skating, it is very versatile due to the low impact compared to other sports. Surprisingly there are many seasoned skaters doing amazing things in soft boots, hard boots are just a luxury. Skate on!

Two years ago at the same time I bought a camera, I bought a lavalier mic and recorder. I am just lazy. I do appreciate the input, maybe I’ll put some more effort into this stuff. Hope it was still helpful for you.

Not algorithm worthy, unless?

Here I am using 80mm Hydrogen wheels. They are a bit worn down here, around 75mm or so.

Not too many tricks, plenty of falls and scrapes. Though the occasional jump and spins do put some wear on them. I do live near the coast, however I would blame the humidity and the amount my feet sweat as the main mechanism. Taking the liner out form the boot after a session is the best strategy.

@@seriouslyreallyserious Thank you for the extra details. Yeah, near the ocean, I mean those inlets and rivets are probably made out of tin so they would rust quite fast. Humidity near the coast is also much higher than where I live here in central EU. It can be real cold and dry, as low as 20% and mostly 30% and occasional 50% or 60% in some rainy days in summer. I'm still careful not to leave anything inside after a session. If I leave a pair of gloves or booties it will be game over in terms of smell lol. I used mines on the ice the whole winter with some "Transformer freestyle ice blades". Absolutely loved them.

Is that a ice skate conversion? That sounds pretty cool.

@@seriouslyreallyserious Yeah those are blades you can use on inline skates. So far I didn't find anything you cannot do compared to normal hockey skates. Perhaps you can lean more on hockey skates but I never needed to go that far.

Thank you!

That is interesting. Some tips to relieve foot pain: Do a warm up skate, then take a break with your skates off for a few minutes. Try wearing thinner cushion/no cushion socks. Start with the cuff strap and ankle strap looser than you think necessary, and tighten after skating a bit. Before, during, and after a skate, massage your feet and ankle. Using a ball on the bottom is also great.

@@seriouslyreallyseriousthanks for the tips! I’ll give these a go!

Me 2 😂, my first in my life!!!

Has it gotten better?

@@jessa.3857 yea

Crossfires have a slimmer fit in the foot, less ankle support, and a rockered wheel setup better suited for slalom. I have not tried them personally, but the few folks I know with them say they are good. If you are into tricks, get the Crossfires. Otherwise, the Twisters, or RB Pro X will suit you well.

@@seriouslyreallyserious...thank you so much.

I measure my foot at about 27.8cm. Wearing a US 9/9.5 seems to work pretty well. One note of concern are the socks one wears; thick socks will use more internal volume than thin socks. I personally use a thin, bottom cushioned sock. I can wear thick all around cushioned socks okay, however it is a little cramped.

@@seriouslyreallyserious Thanx,I got them on now,snug but I think theyll break in good

Would you say this is a more comfortable boot than the FR1?

I have both the FR1 and the twister. I would say they are both comfortable with the FR1 having a bit more room if you have a wider foot​@@RayRayNYC

Felt bad about not replying. Power transfer is about the same as the frame attaches directly to boot. Though it feels a bit sloppy because of how heavy the setup is.

No sweat! Thanks for circling back. I had a similar experience having tried both out too now. UFS boots are heavy, especially Blanks. I got some inexpensive K2 110 frames off Ebay for my Blanks and I loved how much road jitter they absorb, although I am significantly more fatigued big-wheeling in them vs the Twister. The Twister is a weird foot shape though that would squeeze my pinkies so I just stick with the Blanks for both types of skating.

Same! Did you figure out a solution? Otherwise i love them!

I bought these and used for 1 month riding 1 hour per day, my ankles where in great pain after 5 days, I really tried to like it but in the end I bought a FR1 boot and the pain was gone.

@@marcelinoplanas9397 Good to know, bro. I know some people that couldn't stand the pain, me included. I tried to figure it out, why was it so uncomfortable?? Then I realized the real problem was that they simply sewed/connected the tissues of the boot right where the ankles are. It created a really harsh/hard hotspot. Then I tried to sew with basic stitches a softer tissue over it and it worked 100%, ridiculously comfortable. If you ever met someone in need this advice might save their rollers :D peace

@@kozmiczz thanks! Good to know that it can be fixed!

Some good advice, they always fall out when I work on them. I may try that out, though I usually wait too long to rotate so maybe if I am more frequent that shold help. I find sometimes the falt setup sticks too much for twirls, so that should help a bit.

apologies for delay. i believe the difference in size is more width than length related, so the Twisters will likely be narrower. If the RB Pro boots treat you well, you likely will not gain much benefit to switch, but that will only come with trying them out.

From what i can tell, size 9/9.5 US, the width is about 6.5cm or 2.75 inches wide at its widest point. They probably will not cover the entire base of your foot.

since then i have loosened them at the start of the session and tighten as i go, that works well for me.

have not tried FRs, but they are really good from what others who own them have said. I would do some research on the fit differences, I beleive FR are form fitting, moreso than the twisters. otherwise, go for whichever looks the best.

I imagine for size 8 US around 1.8 kilos.

Agreed, most will find these true to size unless you have wide feet.

I am working on a video this weekend, stay tuned.

The RBs are great, you cannot go wrong either way.

Over time the liner should 'mold' and take less internal volume, so that should work well.

I have given these a lot more time and while I still find the heel to be a bit loose I have developed a better method of lacing these so they are comfortable. I have mostly been working on jumps, so once I feel confident I will do some grinds.

HI Deja, I measured the widest section of my foot at about 96 mm; my foot length is about 280mm, and the size US 9/9.5 is ideal (note these are male sizes). My suggestion is if your foot is very wide, perhaps try the RB Pro X; the boot is wider than the Twister, therefore better for wide feet. If you really want the Twister - with a wider foot - size up, and use the footboard sizer if necessary. Remember to try skates out on carpet to ensure fit!

@@seriouslyreallyserious thankyou so much🥺appreciate the response!!!

I do not have a need for this, and while there is no official information, you likely could trim the top and front of the cuff if you wanted it to be shorter or flex forward, respectively. Worst case, they are available as an accessory. I believe other users of Twisters have done this, perhaps r/rollerblading has some people who can help.

To me is not an issue, you need to learn to push those parts as you close the cuff buckle, these plastic parts offer great support. I think I'm gonna add a bit of wax there so the parts slide easier.

I agree, I skate them when I just want to go around without doing anything intense. They slip on so easily, great for spontaneous skating. Plus, if you happen to share with someone, they are more forgiving in the fit.
