I got these skates for my son, and he loves them. He is painting them with a Casino theme!
omg I love that.
Yeah i just ordered mine not long ago and I’m planning on customizing them myself to ^^ not sure the theme just yet but it’ll either be cute or 80’s,or both :)
@@cyruscunningham1075 Hi, can I ask where you bought them from? I've been looking to buy the type of skate but I'm never sure which online shops are safe to buy from!
@@ren-w i got mine off skate nation,i got suregrip outdoors,their a little pricey but they are pretty sturdy and have good ankle support,and they came in like 2 or 3 days of ordering,though there are some cheaper options,but I don’t know about their quality,it all depends on what you like :)
Can you do a review on the moonlight roller skate
Rebel, I’ve worn the shit out if mine and they’ve held up great, jumping curbs etc. as for the grey plate, I agree, didn’t like it. I painted it w purple nail polish and they look fresh 👌🏽
So the nylon plate was ok for you doing all that ? Didn’t have to swap for a metal plate ?
@@Kassiex5 There’s lots of people that do tricks on nylon plates, even at the skate parks. If it’s a good quality nylon it shouldn’t matter too much. It’s just personal preference
Hi, can I ask where you bought them from? I've been looking to buy the type of skate but I'm never sure which online shops are safe to buy from!
These are my skates! I'm so relieved they're not crappy. I was so desperate for skates and these happened to be in stock, so I bought them without doing any research!
Me too. The moonlight rollers that I want are still sold out 😞

@@ren-w I got mine from wicked skatewear, but I don't know if they're still in stock. If you happen to be in WA state, need a ladies size 9/mens size 8 - mine are brand new and I'm looking to sell them! I have a ton of accessories too. I hurt my knee and can't skate. :(
@@betteeya Thank you for getting back to me! Unfortunately I'm not in WA and am a size 5 ladies, but I will definitely look into wicked skatewear. I hope that your knee gets better soon, I used to dance professionally and have had a few pretty bad knee injuries, it's tough for sure :(
Do they fit true to size? I have a bunion and I'm worried if I need to size up?
This is so helpful! As a plus-sized person with wider feet, I often struggle to find skates that fit correctly and work for me. I've been considering these skates for a while and think that I'll probably buy them :)
I stg Bowie is the cutest I love the clip of him running with you omg
Right?! He doesn't run often, but when he does, it is CERTIFIABLY ADORABLE
I have a pair of Sure Grip Fames that I got in June. They're my first pair of skates and I love them. I wasn't sure what kind of skating I was going to do when I first got them. I do a lot of park/aggressive skating now, and although I'm beating them to heck, they're holding up really really well through all my falls/bails and abuse I've put them through. Definitely a great first skate!
Totally agree! I've been park skating in mine for four months now and they have held up really well!
That being said, this weekend, the plate has started to come loose from the boot due to the riveted hardware compressing the front interior of the boot. Replacing the hardware is a real pain, but the boot is still in such great shape that I will just replace the hardware or swap the plates with something more park appropriate.
❤️ Fames
How is it going so far? I was thinking about getting beach bunnies, however I really want white skates, and not the crazy colors they have
@@peptobismol3949 I got new Bont boots specifically for park skating in the last couple months- and they are definitely more suited for it than the Sure Grips (tho I still love them dearly with all my heart). You definitely start with them at the park, but may eventually have to upgrade your boot or plates etc. I also did have some issues with loosing nuts and washers for my plate sometimes when I was skating really hard at the park with them. So something to keep in mind- but it is a nice boot for sure, but will depend on what you completely intend on doing with it!
Hi, can I ask where you bought them from? I've been looking to buy the type of skate but I'm never sure which online shops are safe to buy from!
do you have grind blocks at all? if so, which ones did you get!
my boyfriend and I both have these! We both have super wide feet and both find them extremely comfortable. When I practice inside I straight up don't have to wear socks (i still do bc sweaty feet are gross BUT it's definitely comfy enough to not need them). I feel super supported in these, and I honestly don't see myself ever updating to a new skate. Maybe changing the plate once I get more into park skating, but otherwise I see no reason to ever upgrade. I definitely only skate as a casual hobby so it was nice to buy something that was high quality, wouldn't break the bank, and I wouldn't have to replace in 4 months like the impala!

I don't think Sure-Grip is trying to intentionally disguise the rock plate as metal, since they offer this plate in many colors, including gray. The plate color options when purchasing the skate went away almost immediately after the pandemic began and I think this just has to do with high demand. My theory is they're just using what they have to meet the demand for skates.
I have been skating on the Fames for six months and I do genuinely adore them. The only complaint I have is the fact that all Sure-Grip skates come with the plates riveted to the boots, but again, this isn't unique to the Fames.
I've been park skating in my Fames for a few months now, and I don't yet have concerns over plate integrity, but the rivets seem to compress the boot interior over time and loosen the plate with no way to fix it besides removing the hardware and replacing it. From personal experience, the rivets are very difficult to remove, so it's not just an annoyance, but a real pain in the knuckles (literally).
But I love the boot so much, now that my plates are loose, I plan to replace them with a metal plate and continue using them at the park until the wheels fall off (hopefully not literally!).
Thank you for reviewing this skate! ❤️
These are my beginner outdoor skates and I love them! I'm definitely glad I chose these over Impala's and Chicago skates.
I have a bunion on one foot. Would I need to size up to fit my width?
I’ve been waiting for this review. Thank you so much! This has helped me make my decision on what skates I want to get
im glad sure grip is coming out with other designs/colors in the fame skate like the prism plus, pink, green...i actually got my bf the boardwalks and he loves them. he has them on a metal plate cuz his skates are size 12.
Hi love your videos! In another video you mentioned you weren’t sure what the technical term was for the back stay. It’s called a heel cup! Source: I used to design shoes for a living. Hahah. I’m currently shopping for my first pair of roller skates and your videos are so helpful. Following now!
I ordered some golden hour fames and im so stoked for them to come
oooooooh those are SOOO cute.
They are amazing. I got mine a few days ago
I just got mine delivered today! They’re SOO pretty 🤩😍 I can’t get sit to use them 💛🖤
Thanks for the review! Looking for my first pair of quad skates and this might be the one: plain black, ability to customize later if I wanted, and wide foot friendly.
I adore the red and teal color theme here so so much
could you review the Sure-Grip Boardwalk Outdoor Skates? there’s almost no reviews out there and they’re the only ones i think are “good quality” i can afford:((
I have a pair and I love them but don’t recommend them if you going to do more skate park jumps but more cruising and dancing
@@lolac863 it’s exactly what i need them for, thank you!!
They are amazing. Would recommend
@@kiarasepulveda1315 you’re welcome!!!
@@lolac863 why not for dancing? would think the flexy ankle would be good
I just got a pair of SureGrip skates today and I got the hang of it pretty quick! I did fall twice but that’s to be expected (btw this was my first time ever actually skating) If you’re looking for a good beginner pair definitely go with these
Thanks so much for the review! It was so clear and thorough!
You sure make skating look good girl! GREAT REVIEW, thx.
U are such an incredible inspiration 💕😍 I hope I can skate with you one day😭
Thank you for the review!! So much help!!! ❤️❤️
I went ahead and ordered myself a pair of the golden hour fames like a hour or two before this posted! Glad to know I made a good decision. Besides, what’s a girl with a broken leg to do but order more skates 😈🖤
Broken leg from roller skating?!
I just got my Fames, and skated on them for the first time this morning. I went to the skate park hella early in the morning, and had a blast! Very comfy boot, and the stock wheels roll like a dream@
Hi, please help me. Are you a woman and if so, what womens size do you wear? What size skate did you buy? I wear womens 8 to 8.5 and I am getting so confused because Different stores have different sizing charts. And I don't live in the US, I wouldn't be able to return them.
Its been quite a journey getting the right size, price and quality but finally bought a second hand pair of Sure Grip Fame boots yesterday (in used good condition) for AU$70! They are retailing for $300/$330 in Australia.
Thanks for the review, it really helped me get to grips with the hardware and confirmed I'd made the right choice for my wide feet.
What type of paint is best to customize the white boots with?
Thank you very much for that review! I have been roller skating / dancing on skates for 6 years. I have a question regarding the back part of the skates. You said the material is a bit stiff. When you move you ankle and bend it forward, do you feel stuck or limited in your move ? Does it get better overtime ? Also, you didn't mention the sizing, does it size normal ? Thanks
Thanks for the review! Your dog is so cute chilling on the couch too :)
I just got a fames in yellow (golden hour) and I have the sure grip boardwalk suede as well. I ADORE them! They are SO GOOD for the price. 10/10 would recommend
Do you like the fames or boardwalks better?
Hi, can I ask where you bought your skates from? I've been looking to get some but I'm never sure which online shops are safe to buy from!
Great video! Thank you for the info as always 🤩 may I ask what size you are, and what size you purchased? Thanks in advance! :)
I love the little icon you used when giving your ratings! So cute and so you lol💕💜
did you design that yourself??
So cute, right?! Jessika Savage designed it for me! (the artists who designed my logo)
I just got my Sure Grip Fames in the mail today! glad you gave a positive review haha ! also my skates came in black and the nylon plate was painted black so I assume its more likely that they're trying to match the boot and less trying to pretend the plate is metal
Hi, can I ask where you bought your skates from? I've been looking to get some but I'm never sure which online shops are safe to buy from!
I just bought a pair. Mine are a pretty lavender so I am guessing they came out with that color later then when this vid was filmed. My nylon plates are black, not gray, so they must have changed that too. I actually went to the skate shop expecting to buy a pair of Chaya Elite skates. Unfortunately, the largest size squished my toes. I tried the Sure Grips and they fit my feet. I don't think I have particularly wide feet, but my feet aren't dainty either. I like to skate with wool socks. These skates fit just fine even with wool. I can also tighten the laces if I want to skate with a thinner cotton/cotton blend sock. I am hoping they'll be good skates for quite a while. I skated as a kid. I am now middle aged and just getting back into skating. I consider myself a beginner now. Apparently, skating is not like riding a bike. I had to relearn how to balance on quads. Sheesh, I did not expect that. I want to learn to dance and to skate outside. I have terrible memories of hitting small rocks and falling with my old clamp-on, metal wheeled, outdoor skates I had as a kid. I know that the modern gummier wheels are much better, but I don't feel comfortable enough to try skating in my street just yet.
I just got a pair of these today, but with the Sonic wheels. I did an unboxing video on my channel, and I'll be relearning how to skate in these. They feel good on, but I really have lost a lot of my old skating skills.
Just got these, my 3rd pair of skates, I will be working on breaking them in
Sure grip fanes are super comfortable !!! Plus I like of your feet aren’t too wide ( leaning toward normal width ) they fit well . I’m a newbie and my use is basic - in rink , dance , less than 10 mile trails . Love love this skate great padding in the neck of the boot for my newbie ankles . If you are more advanced you might like the sure grip boardwalks which have less support in the neck and come in suede. If you have a wider foot look into VNLA Luna fame boots - amazing sadly too wide for me :(
I LOVE YOU EARRINGS!!!!!! THEY ARE SO AMAZING AND CRAZY AND SO SO SO CUTE!!!!!
that plate comes in like 10 different colours, so it might be just luck of the draw or limited production that meant you got grey
They are sooo comfortable - I got hybird Villain Slim wheels (84A?) switched out cause I didn't know where I was wanting to skate
Just got a pair of these today at my rink's skate shop for only $159. These are so comfortable, and the Fame wheels were great on the rink (I can finally do a plow stop!) The only issue I have is that one foot (my shorter foot) has a little bit of heel lift, but the next size down was too narrow somehow? I wish the backstay was a bit more concave to lock that heel in a bit better.
Can you use the same sure grip fame bearings it comes with on the boardwalk wheels if you choose to change the wheels to outdoor wheels?
I love my Fames! My first pair of skates, have had them since June and have skated with them a bunch outside and they’ve held up quite well! I love that they are so comfyyyyyy. I do mostly dance skating and cruising. I really recommend them to everyone!
The wheels that came with the skate were ok for outside skating for you ? Or you switched to outdoor wheels ?
@@Kassiex5 i don't recommend the stock wheels for outdoors, they are quite hard (I'm sure the durometer is like 93A or something). You can get away with skating with them on a tennis court or a surface like that, but it doesn't feel as stable for me as with outdoor wheels. They would be good for the skate park I think
@@kiarahernandez4093 ok thanks . So where’d you get your outdoor wheels ?
@@Kassiex5 I bought Moxi Gummy Wheels from Bruised Boutique or Fritzy's, I don't remember which one of the two, but I've ordered from both shops and I definitely recommend. You can get outdoor wheels from any skate shop though.
@@kiarahernandez4093 okay thanks so much for all your information
Can you please review the candi girl skates. I'm thinking about getting the periwinkle ones, but there aren't many reviews of them. I would be very thankful if you could help me out.
Thank you
Love your videos btw
Can you review the suregrip golden hour skates I bought some with qube barrings and energy wheels. I used to do inline skating as a kid so i'm learning quad skating with these and I cant tell if i need to loosen my trucks or not.
I just got these skates. I’m trying to practice skate park and sliders. What size of sliders would you suggest for these skates?
Thank you so much for all your reviews! I watched your Beach Bunny review before this. I currently have the Riedell R3's and, while they are great, I've been really wanting to try the "cuter" ones with the boot style. For reference, I pretty much exclusively park skate. Nothing too crazy right now, just pumping and some ramps, starting light jumping. Does anyone have any recommendations? The Beach Bunny looks so cute, and there's a pair of pink Sure Grip Fames I've seen. Any help is appreciated!
Between those two what do you think ?
All of my Fames (white, Pink Passions, and Golden Hours) came with black plates.
I have a narrow foot would these fit too wide then?
Also, are you saying that when you buy them they come with indoor wheels only so if I want to use these outdoors I’ll have to buy separate wheels?
I was wondering if you could do a review of the vegan jack. I am wanting the jack boot and possibly thinking of getting the vegan option. It's the same price, but are vegan Jack's as good a regular Jack's? Also not sure what plate to get if I got jacks? What would you suggest. I do dance and some outdoor skating and want to try some park stuff.
Hey Rebel and Shove! Quick question… would you say this skate is light weight? I currently have Reidel skates with titanium plates. They were a gift but they are extremely heavy on my feet. I’m looking for a light weight skate.
Hi there, do you have a video or suggestions about beginner roller skates for narrow feet?
Hi, can you tell me about the sizing? What size do you wear and what size did you buy? I am an 8 to 8.5 and I wear socks with skates and I am getting confused by the different size charts and size. recommendations on different sites.
I love mine! My plate is black tho.
How long are your laces? I have to skip some hooks because the default laces are too short. Also I changed the cushions so I could turn. So sweet that dog is loving the skate walk.
should I size up? last time I got skates they were too small for me and I had to sell them
Aww, Bowie is so good on his leash… Are they more comfortable than the Moxi Beach Bunnies? I find my BB are so stiff that no matter how much I skate in them.
What do you think of the Sure-Grip Boardwalk skates?
Bowie running! Gorgeous.
What is the best size I currently wear a 9 in impala!
Awesome review
I’m watching you lace up your speed lace eyelets and noticed that you wrap around from the top to the bottom. Is there any particular reason why? Have I just been doing it wrong all along going bottom to top lol? I’d love to learn why and if it’s more helpful in away. I’m always down for any and all help I can get to improve.
Thanks for this review too. I’ve been wanting the golden hour flames SO bad but I’ve got wide feet so it’s good to know they should fit ok, especially since I went ahead and ordered them a few hours ago 😂 . 🖤
I’m pretty sure wrapping them top to bottom helps preserve the hooks a little better than bottom to top. Once you lose those its game oveeerrr so anything to help them stay in tact best! 😋
@@nataliarodriguez9852 that makes sense! Once I’m back on my skates again, after my fibula is healed, I’ll switch to this way of lacing them. Thanks for your help 😊
Are they good for street, jumps and ramps?
Adorable pupster!
the doggy is so cute
Do I need to size up if I have a bunion on one foot? I need wide. Should I size up?
Yasssss🤩
Can you do a review of the Sure Grip Boardwalk skates?
I have some of these in the same color, I haven’t used them yet.
Has anyone worn these with narrow feet? I'm worried about the toe box bunching up when lacing them up
What's the name of the knee padding your wearing? They look great and comfy.
Hey rebel! Can you review the dusty rose Chaya skates?
Bought these with an advanti plate for the skatepark, I love vinyl boots because of the ankle support. I need my ankle support when doing 50/50s or I feel like I'm gonna die lol
I'm cracking up because you're saying the exact same things I thought when I tried them on. (I got lucky and was able to try on a couple different pair. Thought I wanted Boardwalks but that boot touched my ankle and my ankle said HELL NAW!) They really do feel like clouds. I took them to the rink last night and had a GREAT time with them. My right foot is slightly bigger than my left and the R boot is a bit snug but I think going up a full size would have made them too big (I don't like socks and no, I dont feel like I have to wear socks in my skates except maybe to eliminate pressure from the edges of the tongue? but then again if that's an issue the boot is likely too tight. The artistic wheels that came with mine were VERY slippery on the rink floor, I bought some Radar Energy 62s and paired with Redz Bones bearings, gonna take em outside soon as my knees stop screaming (I'm considering taking my quadline wheels/trucks and having them mounted on some 37 boots, I bet that's gonna be a hell of a ride. My plan to give these girls some razzle dazzle is to make some custom boot covers... gonna tackle that in the next few days. I have idears **evil chuckle** I got them at a great price too (the people at the shop seemed to think they were mislabeled bc they were marked as a 9 but I was told that this pair didn't fit like a 9? whatever I got em and I'm in LOVEEEEE)
Hi, can I ask where you bought your skates from? I've been looking to get some but I'm never sure which online shops are safe to buy from!
@@ren-w I bought mine in person (and so glad I did - as I ordered skates later, different brand, and had it not been an ordeal I would have returned them and sized up). Lots of skate shops here.
Are these the same as the sure-grip fame sonic skates?? Just ordered mine I’m so excited!!
they are the same skates!
I have Fames and my plate is black, not gray! not sure what the deal is with them trying to paint it silver… if i had to guess, i’d say they wanted to match the coloration and aesthetic of the metal trucks, cuz Sure-Grip doesn’t seem like the kind of company that would have to TRICK people into thinking their nylon plates are metal, y’know?
Seems like a questionable (at best) aesthetic choice, but i’m glad my plates are black and not painted!!
I’m a beginner artistic skater and i got my Fames in September; i skate in them 4-5 days a week, and they’re an absolute dream.
If any fellow beginner/aspiring artistic skaters are reading this and they’re looking to purchase a SOLID pair of intro skates at a great price point, i HIGHLY recommend Sure-Grip Fames!!
can you do a review on the kates skates bubblegum skates
lmao what u said about the plate 😂 I have these skates and thought the same thing
Luv ur vids
Candi girl Carlin review!🍬🍭
Are these lighter in weight than the Moxi panther?Lookig for a lighter boot.
I am trying to figure out which beginner skate I should get between the fame lavender or boardwalk lavender. Advice?
i have the fames. and i think the only difference is material and cushioning. fames have way more cushion and it's more like leathery ig. but boardwalks are like no cushion and it's suede i believe
I just got my skates today..I’m really good inside but when I’m outside I’m like an elephant in a China store! I watch your outside video but I can’t seem to get it right, what’s a good brand for roller skates?
Are your wheels fit for outdoor use? Usually softer wheels (78a hardness) are better for outdoors, and also smaller wheels (57mm vs. 65mm) can help too so you're not as high up from the ground! But outdoors is definitely a totally different beast from skating indoors, so I'm hoping with more practice it can come to you!
Thank you so much Kira! Sorry I’m replying 3hours later but now my skating experience has changed and I thank you! So, tysm~! Also I don’t know what skates I got, bc my parents suprised me with it and won’t let me see it so.. I don’t know?
@@luhvliigs5591 You're super welcome!
I’m gonna get me a pair!!! When I get paid how long does it take to ship?
I just ordered mines they will be here on the 23rd
which model are these pls?
hmm i got my fames a couple years back but it came with a black plate! i guess they changed it
I think they are slowly moving away from the gray plate. I think she got an older version.
Are they made for wide feet? I can’t find a skate that doesn’t hurt me soo much
I have wide feet and they are so comfortable
surprised to realize painting your skates is a thing, i thought I was being a weirdo who probably "ruined" my skates
having said that: neon acrylic paint from the dollar store; yeah it scuffs off but its easy to repaint and feels very punk rock
candi girl skates next??? :D
Where do you recommend shopping online these days? What are your favorite skater owned shops?
Bruised Boutique and Sk8Ratz are awesome sites!
Fritzy's Roller Skating Shop is AMAZING. Usually super well stocked and very fast shipping.
What did you mean by aggressive skater? 👀 this was a really helpful video though thank you :)
Would you suggest to get your true shoe size? Or size down?
I have several pairs of sure grip skates and I always go down a size!
@@lynsiephillips7370 do you have any opinions about the SG boardwalks sizing? I'm normally a size 8 wmns. Unsure if a men's 6 or 7 would be better
I found sure grip roller skates in my size at a thrift store but I wasn’t sure if they had the type of skates I wanted. When I went back they had already been sold 💔
oh noooo that's the worst feeling. i hate that
Hi can you review the c 7 skates?
I've been trying to get my hands on them for a while now! They are weirdly hard to get.
@@QueerGirlStraightSkates that is weird But good luck finding some. I’m looking forward to that video.
Thanks for the great review, and you're fricken gorgeous ❤
Can anyone here answer this for me please? My skates came w 57mm wheels can I put 68mm wheels on them?
Yes!
Erica Purr thank you!
What about the Rookie artistic skates. They are similar but only 79£. Under 100$ they're a brirish brand and their skates look good. Even has a metal plate n adjustable toe stop
I sold my Lolly's and replaced them with some Rookie Artistic. I'm very happy about my choice, the boot is more my kind of skates as I'm used to Edea figure skating boots. I wish I listened to myself first rather than focusing too much on the cute marketing of Moxi! I just changed the toe stop and wheels right away, will change for a lighter plate in the future.
I haven't tried them, so I don't know- maybe in the future!
@@QueerGirlStraightSkates they look like the best cheap skates
I would have got these but the nylon frame since i am a 200 pound man just doesn't feel right for me
Honestly, I'm over 200 lbs and they work for me- nylon is nice for different reasons- the flex actually helps absorb a bit of the impact when I jump
@@QueerGirlStraightSkates Maybe I will give it a try everything i read said i would crack it
Good fun men's size 12, where do I look?
This video is 3 years old, but it doesn't matter. I ordered these in May of 2024
I disagree, I have these skates & they dig into the front of my foot above my ankle, worse on the right than on the left. I have been trying to skate paste the pain but need to take a break, shift the tounge & relace. My foot feels bruised. Nobody else having this issue? Is it the way I skate?
I wish I could buy myself skates uwu
