I have them, in a later video you talked about the moxi lolly and described the ankle support the same as the moon boot. Would you say that neither the Moxi Lolly nor the moon boot have ankle support? Only asking because so many people support the Moxi lolly skate saying that it has great ankle support, however the Moxi lolly is not accessible to everyone, hence why I got the moon boot. I feel like there are so many mixed reviews about whether it has ankle support or not. I feel neither the moxi lolly or moon boot have ankle support based on the, flimsy display you gave both. Overall I like the Moon boot! Great price. Gives you the main good qualities a skate needs.
@@egamboa0216 I would say the moxi lolly has like... slightly more ankle support than the moon boot- I compared the two like folding them over and stuff and the Lolly has a bit more stiffness in the backstay and in the heel cup in my opinion. Definitely both of them are nothing compared to the ankle support of other skates for surrreeee
I got my moon boots last week, just in time for my 51st birthday. I wasn't gonna wait for any moxi skate. The boot is comfortable, the fit is awesome for my feet. They came with abec-7 bearings which is much nicer than the abec-5 that comes with most skates. Abec -7 are a class above most others and shows the kind of quality a skate was built with. The plate is heavy but I can get used to it. I definitely need softer wheels for the outdoor terrain in Virginia. I highly recommend the moon boot. Fantastic quality for the price!!!! The stiffest ankle support I have in skates are my FR Igor freestyle inlines (abec-9 bearings). Carbon fiber boot and SO luxurious and cushy to wear with bare feet!!! The moon boot, together with cotton tube socks, is also really comfortable. The extra movement allowed in the ankle area (less support but NOT flimsy!) makes for better agility for curves, carving and dancing.
So, I have the Moonboot and the Lolly... The Moonboot for me is more of a Dance/Jam skate. Not meant for too much rough activity (only dance moves and rink skating, specifically) Definitely a super cute skate. Wider in the toe box and heel. My Lolly skate feels a bit more sturdy in the boot structure (i.e. the heel, toe box area). With that sturdiness comes some narrowing in the toe box area. A tad bit heavier, but that is understandable because you see people use them EVERYWHERE (park skating especially) The suede feels like suede on both skates. Think if you compare the two skates, you should take into account each designer's background. Moxie brand was developed with an outdoor/park skate mentality and brought a beautiful aesthetic along. Moonboots were developed with more of a disco/indoor rink feel but provide a charming colorful display to skates. I respect both the skates and their designers because they are bringing a whole new look and feel to an old-fashion pastime. They have stepped away from the boring colors of skates we had in the past. Just my take! Thanks for the review Rebel :)
Very interesting opinion. I have the Lolly's for outdoors/CA Bch paths but am looking for a second pair for indoor dance moves I'm learning. Thanks...I think the latest moon boots might work.😀
I have 3 pairs (Flashdance, Amethyst, & Sapphire) and I love them they’re sooooo comfy and gorge. I do favor the Flashdance pair because they’re shiny and match everything but all are super comfortable with no break in period.
I only started skating in March and honestly, the reason why I picked Moonlight for my first ever pair of skates is because of the size and the designs available in my size. I'm a size 11 in women's shoes, and Moonlight was the ONLY brand I could find at my local skate shop who carried skates that were my size and not super plain. I found it extremely frustrating that a lot of skate brands didn't go up to my size, and if they did, the designs got super boring or just straight-up ugly. I totally get Rebel's criticisms, and I appreciate the tip that these may not be the best skates to take to skate parks (I'm nowhere near that point yet, but it's good to know), but dammit Janet, folks with big feet want cute skates too! And if you can make that then you! can! take! all! of! my! money!
Coming from Lolly's I have to say, they're both good depending on your preference. For Lolly's to be priced the way they are and have the thinnest most uncomfortable insole for your feet, I had to buy a separate insert just to skate for more than an hour which was never an issue with other skates. Moonboots are wayyy more comfortable as is. Although they seemed flimsy in the video, in my opinion, I could still feel much more ankle support compared to the Lolly's. For example, I had been trying to do the coffin in my Lolly's for months, and thought maybe my ankle was just not strong enough. The first attempt I made in my Moonboot's I was able to do it almost immediately! :) I still love my Lolly's because the lack of ankle support is good when I'm jam skating and because of how thin they are, after months of use they are truly molded to my feet and I feel very secure in them. I'm not a beginner though so if it's your first time on skates you might not enjoy less ankle support. If price is an issue for you, I would say go with the Moonboots. :)
I remember you showing a lacing method for more ankle support, and I'd really love to see you try that with these and see if that makes any difference??
My skates are coming today!! I normally Rollerblade but everscence I started watching this channel I really wanted to try Rollerskating! Thank you so much for being an inspiration :D
Been so excited for you to review the moonboots! Yay! Definitely stoked on a comparison between the moonboot and the moxis. also wondering your opinion on the sure grip boardwalks as well and how it compares to other suede boots! (i currently own a pair of sure grip fames, but thinking about an upgrade!)
Hi Rebel! Super cute skate, but, yes Shove, I was nervous watching too! I need ankle support. I'm a return skater and I want to give you a super big THANK YOU! I hadn't roller skated since my 20's, I bought a pair of skates as a mother's day gift to myself. But, seriously, your videos have inspired me, for real! No matter my size, age, I said "f" this, I'm going to do what I used to love, which was roller skating, however, I thought I'd put them on and go, lol, didn't work that way. So, I did some practice at home, watching along as you showed me, also watched Shove's toe stop video I came across yesterday morning, practiced that as well. I went out with my son and we had a blast! I didn't even fall this time and it was my second day roller skating outside. Point is, I love you guys! I thank you from my heart for being yourselves, sharing all your tips on skating and making a difference, at least for me, Yay! And I loosened my trucks a bit too, what a difference, which I also learned from one of your videos.
I have these and cosmic quartz. These are my favorite skates ever. I want to try moxi but I will later on. These are my starter skates. I just need to accessorize them. They are soooo comfortable! I agree with them costing way too much. But I recommend them. To me they gave me enough support. They are a perfect fit. I just want to change my wheels. Thank you for sharing! 💖
Currently waiting on my FIRST pair of skates EVER...and yeah, I got me the MoonBoot. Can't wait to tell ya all about it. Oh, and I wanna build a, outdoor skate ring at my house...any ideas on where to begin this mission? I have no idea as far as flooring and all that good jazz. oh and thanks for this channel, Im pretty sure id be lost with out you.
I'd be interested in a Moonboot vs Lolly comparison. Not just ankle support but the parts themselves. Is the Lolly worth the extra $100 over the Moonboot? I also like the idea of supporting a black owned business. But there's also American made vs Chinese made, etc. Lots to consider!
Ooh have you ever tried Chaya skates? There was ZERO break-in period with mine. They're super duper soft (think clouds for your feet) but still have great ankle support. I looove them. :)
Two of my friends have Moonlight Rollers. One broke her ankle at the skate park, and the other friend's skate's truck broke the FIRST time he wore it. As a Lolly rider, I would be very interested in a side by side comparison!😀
Surely the lolly would be exactly the same, if not worse in terms of ankle support? My lollies are literally just fabric at the top, these moon boots look stiffer (I do love mine though, I’m not as bothered about ankle support)
love love love the thorough review!! Was actually going to get moonlights as my next skates but now im wondering if thats a smart choice when the Lolly's are available - would love to see a comparison :)
as a lolly rider, and after watching this review, i highly recommend lollies. They were my beginner skate, and i still use them because they have held up, offer enough support without being too stiff, and come with great quality hardware. They make the transition from finding your bearings(pun intended) as a newbie skater, to street skating and park skating very smooth. Ive had them for going on 3 years now. Hope this helps!
This totally echoes how I feel about my moon boots! They are so darn comfy, but I’ve definitely had some scary ankle moments that had me shook for sure! Mine didn’t smell out of the box I wonder if it’s the prowler suede ? Great video!
I have the iridescent ones and absolutely love them. When I first received them I was a little concerned because my left boot felt like a right boot but it was actually the correct one. They are very comfy and soft on the inside, kinda feels like a cocoon around your feet. The “Flashdance” boot has a lot more ankle support. I agree, they were a little on the expensive side but not bad. It was the only skate available at the time I was looking for some. I can say this, I would purchase them again, matter of fact, I wanted the ones that reflect but I believe the Prowlers replaced those.😔
Yes a lolly vs moonboot video please! I just got these same skates and have the same feeling about them. Love they way they look but wonder where the price tag comes from.
I have a pair of Moxi Lolly skates, which I love for outdoors. I really want to get a pair of Moon Boots for indoor/rink skating... and this review just confirms that! ❤️
Mannn, I broke my ankle Sunday, had surgery Monday and am currently outta commission 6-8 weeks. Watching you move your freshly healed ankle in these had me triggered😩😩! I actually have the Emerald City Moonboots and can say that your review was spot on! Thanks for always being honest no matter the brand. sb: will I ever feel like skating again w/o fear😢??? #traumatized
I have the Flashdance skate from them and while I love the look and feel of them they are really a rink only, or very light outdoor skate in my opinion. Take them to the skate park at your own risk 🙅🏽♀️. Also, yes they are over priced. $150 ish would be a perfect price point for them.
You are an absolute inspiration, from your skating techniques to your fashion and style in outfits, to your positive outlook. I would love to know where you buy your clothes 🌺🥀
Veteran + Black Owned Roller Skate company, Moonlight Roller Skates!!!! I love the prints, the snake print is my favorite! These particular skates( in my opinion) are for dance skaters/jame skaters at the rink...not for skate park skating
I was considering buying these for my first skates but now that I see the ankle situation I'm pretty glad I didn't! They don't look like they are well suited to my weak-ass, constantly injured ankles
Really love your videos they are very helpful and so fun! 🥰 I live in Germany and am very interested in the Luna skates (which you can also get in America) and would love you to review them🤍 thank you for all the amazing and inspiring content
Thank you for doing the review and I would love a lolly comparison of someone who’s tried many different skates. Thank you and shove for the valuable information for newbie skaters like me!
Oh, let me answer this for you - the vinyl ones DO NOT have more support. I made a video I can share if you want - just a crappy one for my friends in my crew. I was actually shocked. I think these really are disco party skates, which is awesome, and fun, but I would NEVER take them to the park or ride UK streets with them. I would die. I would break something. I hope they come out with a premium boot because I LOVE the design and look of them.
Tbh they seem overpriced to me sorry :/ Edit: commented before watching the whole video and I just realized you said this exactly. I agree they’re cute but you could get such a high quality skate from Reidell or another brand for $250
Yeah I think with the Moxi price increase Lollies are overpriced. The Thrust plate is nothing to write home about and now Lollies are $100 more than Moon Boots. Sure Grip Boardwalks come with better hardware for a similar price though, probably one of the better values for this type of skate right now.
I have wide feet. I got both lollys and moonboots. I prefer the moonboots. They are much more comfortable than the lollys. The lollys tend to pitch/rub on the side of my feet. I've had no luck in stretching them. I changed out the wheels on my moonboots though. I prefer Atom Pulse outdoor wheels. They are great.
Would it be weird to ask for a candi grl Carlin skate review?? I've seen maybe a handful of reviews on this skate and would be really interested in your opinion!
I want this so bad but I got a impala one with that design and it’s hard and very uncomfortable! I have night fever and love it! I just had to make sure it’s not a hard cover like the impala one because it’s cheaper than all the other skates on their website, im not sure why.
Im a beginner skater thinking of either getting a pair of new skates are buying a plate for my denim amazon skates 🤣 whats the difference in the moon boot plate and the moxi plate 🤔
Im getting into skating and wanted this brand for a while but theyre little pricey. Thanks for the review!! I want more ankle support. But theyre super cute skates.
would LOVE to have a skate that doesn't kill me in the toe box area but $250 feels like such a high price point for what looks almost like sneaker material here... guess I'll keep praying I can manage to break in my Candi Girls a bit more lol
I have the emerald city ones and ive constantly heard of the trucks breaking (also heard they are mass bought off alibaba) and i am too scared to take them out after my first ride. Definitely not a lot of ankle support either but the plates/trucks seem to me that these skates shouldn't be more than $150
Heyy, I’m about to get my new skates. And I’m not sure which type of skates I should get. I wanted your recommendations, a lil background information is: 1. I’m a beginner, the only type of skating I’ve done is a lil bit of ice skating. 2. I am a 12 year old so my size will be a lil bit tinier
**correction you said these are 57mm 84A BUT true wheel specs are 58mm at 82A imo not that hard, a decent hybrid kinda ave specs on ‘begginer’ aka BASIC fashion skates
Yes, I think a comparison would be good between the loli & moonboot. Would also possibly like to see the moxi panthers bc those are also fairly pricy for only suede outting, so are panthers also just paying for aesthetic?
Wait so the prowlers are patterned suede? That's pretty sick right there! You always see suede skates mostly being sold in solid colors so that's a huge plus I think aesthetically and I'm drawn to patterned skates but I don't want to scuff them. I have the safety dance skates from them (the reflective ones) and I love them. The boot is super soft and comfortable and the ankle region is pretty bendable and flexible which I had to get used to because my other skates are a stiffer suede especially in the ankle area. The hardware on the safety dances, I assume they use the same plates, trucks, toe stops for all their skates, is good. Everything has held up really well in that department but I will say I would not want to do real aggressive skating like at the skate park in my safety dances because I don't want to badly scuff the beautiful reflective material but also the hardware sometimes feels like if I put my weight (about 200 lbs) and a lot of additional force into it, it may damage it. Like jumping on a flat surface feels perfectly fine in these but I think if were to do tricks on a coping my weight along with the force of the coping might damage the plate. The hardware feels very secure and these skates have been great for me but I don't think I would do super aggressive skating in them. Great video, Rebel!
Super cute! But unfortunately I had to send two pairs back for the same reason, which was the left skate pulled outward . Customer service was great though they really tried to fix the issue but I ended up just getting a refund.
do you have the jackboot? bc there are already so many lolly vs moonlight, but I wish sb compared those to the jackboot. Like I'm looking for sth that I could skate with in the park, but also the jackboot costs alot.
I LOVE my MOONLIGHT ROLLERS🖤 for rhythm/dance/indoors/light recreation outdoors If you like to rhythm skate & indoor skate, & light recreation & dont need ankle support to balance your weight & prefer flex boots (imo beginner to intermediate) you might kinda LOVE these too!! 🖤🖤🖤 Theyre $250 because you said it their a GORGEOUS & COMFORTABLE basic FASHION skate w decent components that ARE usable- not all basic skates come w usable components ime. So IMO MLRs are one of the best for these styles & aesthetic in basic imported range ($100-$275) on quality & components. COMPONENTS AND this is why for me Moonlights outta box are kinda almost Perfect specs & price & aesthetic - good bearings ABEC7 - good small hybrid wheels58mm 82A (whites dyed look great!) - nice bouncy stops lasting me (ex SG careros too soft, moxis harder) - stock 90A cushions can be used on top indoors as ‘firm’ cushions BASIC SKATES -: ‘Beginner’ is what i call ‘BASIC’ skates theres a lot of BASIC skates these days & components are really hit & miss, MLR hits imo. - Read reviews before buying to get pref boot/wheels/plate & better bearings/stops on basic fashion skates. - imo experienced high impact skaters need reinforcements on basics or strongest basic plates (rock & Bonts)
Well, I pre-ordered my Moxi lolly's yesterday and this really confirms my purchase, even though I do love the aesthetic of these boots. Definitely not for me with my shite ankles. Hit us with the comparison, still very curious!
Moonlight Roller is new and Black owned. If you feel like it's overpriced, just get your money back. People are buying skates from brands with racist tendencies and if that's the case, give Moonlight roller the chance to improve and let's not rag on them. They're different. Not everyone wants to do the SAME thing everyone else is doing and we can allow artistic expression. Just find the pair for you even if it's not Moonlight roller. (This comment is for the comment section, not the video 🤗).
Thank You 🙏🏽 For Posting This Video... I Greatly Appreciate It. I Concur With Everything You’ve Said In Regards To The Moonlight Roller Skates. For All The Reasons Mentioned And Especially The Lack Of Ankle Support Is Why I’ve Decided Not To Purchase The Moonlight Roller Skates. The Moxi Lolly’s Also Have No Ankle Support As Well, But I Do Feel It’s A Higher Quality Skate Set Up Than The Moonlights. I’m currently looking into the BTFL (Beautiful) skates, made by a German Company Brand, Designed By Women For Women, they were originally selling skateboards, longboards, etc... But now they’ve ventured out to also making roller skates. Pitkin Stearns International is their distributor in the USA 🇺🇸 In Littleton, Colorado. Unfortunately, they are currently out of stock and won’t be restocking their inventory until the Fall Season. What a bummer...But if you can grab a pair before then, Please Do A Review to compare the BTFL skates to the Moxi Lolly’s & Moonlights. Thank You 🙏🏽 Again For Putting Out Great 👍🏽 Informative Content On Your Channel. Keep Shining Bright, Continue Living Your Life Authentically To Whom You Are. 👍🏽👏🏽 Peace 🕊,Love ❤️ & Light ☀️ 🙏🏽Namaskaram🙏🏽
I wouldn't inhale that smell too much. Phtalates are cancerogenic and should be avoided. Unfortunately, with all things plastic nowadays, this is a mission impossible because they are everywhere. I used to get sick in new cars as a kid. That weird smell from the plastic in dashbords and lining (lots of vinyl and artifical leather in those days) made me puke.
I'd love a review of all the skates you have and what your favorites are hahaha. If thats not asking way too much. But I absolutely loved how much information you provided and how concise you were. ❤ I agree completely with everything you said. I'd love a moxi lolly vs moonboot showdown. Lmao. 🛼🦋
Do you have the Moonboot? What do you think of it?
I love the skate design :)
I have them, in a later video you talked about the moxi lolly and described the ankle support the same as the moon boot.

I have the Charmers and I love mine. 💓
I got my moon boots last week, just in time for my 51st birthday. I wasn't gonna wait for any moxi skate. The boot is comfortable, the fit is awesome for my feet.

Very interesting opinion. I have the Lolly's for outdoors/CA Bch paths but am looking for a second pair for indoor dance moves I'm learning. Thanks...I think the latest moon boots might work.😀
Would love to see a comparison between Moxi and Moonlight!
Yea right Moxi basically owns these girls lol
I took mine out for the first time on Saturday and immediately twisted my knee. Pros very flexible and smooth. Cons very flexible and smooth 😩
I know right??!!
your outfit matches the vibe so well for this video omg
Lol yes!

yess!! moonboot v moxi lolly comparison video please

If you lace them up all the way they give plenty ankle support. More than the Lollys. These are def more suitable for a skatepark then lollys
I'm obsessed with your outfit and makeup in this video!
YESSS TO THE LOLLY vs MOONBOOT COMPARISON! thank you
I remember you showing a lacing method for more ankle support, and I'd really love to see you try that with these and see if that makes any difference??

Plenty of ankles have broken at the skate park. Even experts get injured from shredding. I wouldn’t blame the boot completely
Ughhh GAG! Your outfit is beautiful - and so are YOU

LOVING the coordinated theme you have going on here. Interesting how they used such short laces.

Thank you for the info on the lack of ankle support, as someone that needs some support. Have you tried the latest version on the moonboots?
for the love of all things celestial, where did you get your top?
Shein :)
Yass! Please do a Lolly vs Moon Boot. Would love to see which one has better ankle support.
Veteran + Black Owned Roller Skate company, Moonlight Roller Skates!!!! I love the prints, the snake print is my favorite! These particular skates( in my opinion) are for dance skaters/jame skaters at the rink...not for skate park skating
I was considering buying these for my first skates but now that I see the ankle situation I'm pretty glad I didn't! They don't look like they are well suited to my weak-ass, constantly injured ankles
Really love your videos they are very helpful and so fun! 🥰 I live in Germany and am very interested in the Luna skates (which you can also get in America) and would love you to review them🤍 thank you for all the amazing and inspiring content
I’m in love 😍 I loveee cheetah print 😩😭
Thank you for doing the review and I would love a lolly comparison of someone who’s tried many different skates. Thank you and shove for the valuable information for newbie skaters like me!
Oh, let me answer this for you - the vinyl ones DO NOT have more support. I made a video I can share if you want - just a crappy one for my friends in my crew. I was actually shocked. I think these really are disco party skates, which is awesome, and fun, but I would NEVER take them to the park or ride UK streets with them. I would die. I would break something. I hope they come out with a premium boot because I LOVE the design and look of them.
Tbh they seem overpriced to me sorry :/
Edit: commented before watching the whole video and I just realized you said this exactly. I agree they’re cute but you could get such a high quality skate from Reidell or another brand for $250
yeah they're pretty overpriced for the plate thet kind of plate as well
What was the "sorry" for? Do you have any other comments besides this? It's isn't helpful.
Yeah I think with the Moxi price increase Lollies are overpriced. The Thrust plate is nothing to write home about and now Lollies are $100 more than Moon Boots. Sure Grip Boardwalks come with better hardware for a similar price though, probably one of the better values for this type of skate right now.
Yes please! I heard moon skates have a wider toe box. Very interested in your opinion on that!
I have wide feet. I got both lollys and moonboots. I prefer the moonboots. They are much more comfortable than the lollys. The lollys tend to pitch/rub on the side of my feet. I've had no luck in stretching them. I changed out the wheels on my moonboots though. I prefer Atom Pulse outdoor wheels. They are great.
Would it be weird to ask for a candi grl Carlin skate review?? I've seen maybe a handful of reviews on this skate and would be really interested in your opinion!
I want this so bad but I got a impala one with that design and it’s hard and very uncomfortable! I have night fever and love it! I just had to make sure it’s not a hard cover like the impala one because it’s cheaper than all the other skates on their website, im not sure why.
Im a beginner skater thinking of either getting a pair of new skates are buying a plate for my denim amazon skates 🤣 whats the difference in the moon boot plate and the moxi plate 🤔
Im getting into skating and wanted this brand for a while but theyre little pricey. Thanks for the review!! I want more ankle support. But theyre super cute skates.
So cool skates the moonlights.. In that print I d love to have it 😃 and nice stars shirt 👍🏼
Do you have a video on the Jackson Vista or Finesse?
I want a pair of Moonboots so bad... I am saving up for a pair.
Would love to see a comparison of the moonboot with the sure grip boardwalk
would LOVE to have a skate that doesn't kill me in the toe box area but $250 feels like such a high price point for what looks almost like sneaker material here... guess I'll keep praying I can manage to break in my Candi Girls a bit more lol
I have the emerald city ones and ive constantly heard of the trucks breaking (also heard they are mass bought off alibaba) and i am too scared to take them out after my first ride. Definitely not a lot of ankle support either but the plates/trucks seem to me that these skates shouldn't be more than $150
Heyy, I’m about to get my new skates. And I’m not sure which type of skates I should get. I wanted your recommendations, a lil background information is: 1. I’m a beginner, the only type of skating I’ve done is a lil bit of ice skating. 2. I am a 12 year old so my size will be a lil bit tinier
Go to a skate shop they can help you
You should really do a video about where you get all your cool socks from. A sock style vid!
The moonlight owner is also a military veteran, she pretty amazing
**correction you said these are 57mm 84A
BUT true wheel specs are 58mm at 82A
imo not that hard, a decent hybrid kinda ave specs on ‘begginer’ aka BASIC fashion skates
Yes, I think a comparison would be good between the loli & moonboot. Would also possibly like to see the moxi panthers bc those are also fairly pricy for only suede outting, so are panthers also just paying for aesthetic?
i wear a half size, would you recommend i go up or down in size with these boots?
Can you try golden horse skates next?
Yes! And VNLA brand . I had golden horse skates as a rental once and they were great !!!
These skates are now on sale for only $99. I had to get a pair after watching your video.
What is your thought on a suede skate with ankle support and wide feet? That is the kind of skate I need.
yeah that would be amazing. Maybe a custom wide Jack boot? (i'm unsure but I think they do that)
@@QueerGirlStraightSkates , thanks!
Can you do a review on Golden Horse semi custom skates? The ones with the nylon plate and fancy pivot thing on them? haha!! :) Great review thanks!!
Wait so the prowlers are patterned suede? That's pretty sick right there! You always see suede skates mostly being sold in solid colors so that's a huge plus I think aesthetically and I'm drawn to patterned skates but I don't want to scuff them. I have the safety dance skates from them (the reflective ones) and I love them. The boot is super soft and comfortable and the ankle region is pretty bendable and flexible which I had to get used to because my other skates are a stiffer suede especially in the ankle area. The hardware on the safety dances, I assume they use the same plates, trucks, toe stops for all their skates, is good. Everything has held up really well in that department but I will say I would not want to do real aggressive skating like at the skate park in my safety dances because I don't want to badly scuff the beautiful reflective material but also the hardware sometimes feels like if I put my weight (about 200 lbs) and a lot of additional force into it, it may damage it. Like jumping on a flat surface feels perfectly fine in these but I think if were to do tricks on a coping my weight along with the force of the coping might damage the plate. The hardware feels very secure and these skates have been great for me but I don't think I would do super aggressive skating in them. Great video, Rebel!
Are the soles stitched to the boot? I seem to have this chronic problem with the heel sperating from the sole in my skates
Super cute! But unfortunately I had to send two pairs back for the same reason, which was the left skate pulled outward . Customer service was great though they really tried to fix the issue but I ended up just getting a refund.
do you have the jackboot? bc there are already so many lolly vs moonlight, but I wish sb compared those to the jackboot. Like I'm looking for sth that I could skate with in the park, but also the jackboot costs alot.
Please please please, I just HAVE to know where you got your shimmery top!!!!!!!!!!!
Shein 😘
Those are really cute 😍 love it.
I’d love to see a moon boot lolly comparison!
One day could you do a Moonboot vs Luna skates?
I’m so bummed I didn’t order these instead of the moxi jungles 😬 those look so fucken cute and comfy
Um I'm switching from a jackson ultama boot to umm well not that boot. Do the rainbow riders have more ankle support?
The rainbow riders definitely have a lot of ankle support! Not flexible like the moonboots.
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I wanted those!!! But they’re always sold out
I LOVE my MOONLIGHT ROLLERS🖤
for rhythm/dance/indoors/light recreation outdoors
If you like to rhythm skate & indoor skate, & light recreation & dont need ankle support to balance your weight & prefer flex boots (imo beginner to intermediate) you might kinda LOVE these too!!
🖤🖤🖤
Theyre $250 because you said it their a GORGEOUS & COMFORTABLE basic FASHION skate w decent components that ARE usable- not all basic skates come w usable components ime.
So IMO MLRs are one of the best for these styles & aesthetic in basic imported range ($100-$275) on quality & components.
COMPONENTS
AND this is why for me Moonlights outta box are kinda almost Perfect specs & price & aesthetic
- good bearings ABEC7
- good small hybrid wheels58mm 82A
(whites dyed look great!)
- nice bouncy stops lasting me
(ex SG careros too soft, moxis harder)
- stock 90A cushions can be used on top indoors as ‘firm’ cushions
BASIC SKATES
-: ‘Beginner’ is what i call ‘BASIC’ skates theres a lot of BASIC skates these days & components are really hit & miss, MLR hits imo.
- Read reviews before buying to get pref boot/wheels/plate & better bearings/stops on basic fashion skates.
- imo experienced high impact skaters need reinforcements on basics or strongest basic plates (rock & Bonts)
Imagine if rebel makes merch
Thanks for the video! I would love to see how supportive the vegan version is
Well, I pre-ordered my Moxi lolly's yesterday and this really confirms my purchase, even though I do love the aesthetic of these boots. Definitely not for me with my shite ankles. Hit us with the comparison, still very curious!
I've been wondering what you thought about the Moon Boot for so long!
Moonlight Roller is new and Black owned. If you feel like it's overpriced, just get your money back. People are buying skates from brands with racist tendencies and if that's the case, give Moonlight roller the chance to improve and let's not rag on them. They're different. Not everyone wants to do the SAME thing everyone else is doing and we can allow artistic expression. Just find the pair for you even if it's not Moonlight roller. (This comment is for the comment section, not the video 🤗).
Lolly's are 349.....if anything those are overpriced!!
@@seoulemotional Moxi is an overrated brand alltogether.
which brand are you referring to? I mean, the racist tendencies?
I like your color of your socks
Thank You 🙏🏽 For Posting This Video...
I Greatly Appreciate It.
I Concur With Everything You’ve Said In Regards To The Moonlight Roller Skates.
For All The Reasons Mentioned And Especially The Lack Of Ankle Support Is Why I’ve Decided Not To Purchase The Moonlight Roller Skates.
The Moxi Lolly’s Also Have No Ankle Support As Well, But I Do Feel It’s A Higher Quality Skate Set Up Than The Moonlights.
I’m currently looking into the BTFL (Beautiful) skates, made by a German Company Brand, Designed By Women For Women, they were originally selling skateboards, longboards, etc... But now they’ve ventured out to also making roller skates.
Pitkin Stearns International is their distributor in the USA 🇺🇸 In Littleton, Colorado. Unfortunately, they are currently out of stock and won’t be restocking their inventory until the Fall Season. What a bummer...But if you can grab a pair before then, Please Do A Review to compare the BTFL skates to the Moxi Lolly’s & Moonlights.
Thank You 🙏🏽 Again For Putting Out Great 👍🏽 Informative Content On Your Channel.
Keep Shining Bright, Continue Living Your Life Authentically To Whom You Are. 👍🏽👏🏽
Peace 🕊,Love ❤️ & Light ☀️

The imported skate smell to me smells like cocktail sauce!😬😂
Love! ♥️
Yes! Compare to 2021 lollys
OMGGGG 13:08 literally giving us all anxiety lololol
I sold my moonboots after I got them. They were so pricey for what you get. I didn’t feel like they were worth the money.
Really wishing for a vegan boot with low ankle support- hopefully the vegan moon boot is like this
Okay but that shirt
Too expensive for me
haha yeah it smells like cigarettes
$250 skate is crazy dumb fr all hype
I wouldn't inhale that smell too much. Phtalates are cancerogenic and should be avoided. Unfortunately, with all things plastic nowadays, this is a mission impossible because they are everywhere. I used to get sick in new cars as a kid. That weird smell from the plastic in dashbords and lining (lots of vinyl and artifical leather in those days) made me puke.
is it even real suede leather?
Lolly ripoff
I'd love a review of all the skates you have and what your favorites are hahaha. If thats not asking way too much.
But I absolutely loved how much information you provided and how concise you were. ❤ I agree completely with everything you said.
I'd love a moxi lolly vs moonboot showdown. Lmao. 🛼🦋
