I have moonlight skates and I’m absolutely in love with them, I hated the wheels but after upgrading the wheels I can’t take these skates off! I recommend either sugar rush wheels or radar energy wheels
Thank you Maegan. This was a very helpful review. I just bought my first skates. Sure-grip Boardwalk. So far I am loving this skate. It's very well made. The boot is glued and stitched to the foot plate. The foot plat is a nylon rock plate so it's light but durable. The wheels are a juicey gummy 65 mm , 78A. ( in cherry red!) I ordered toe caps so I don't tear up the toe of the skate. The Moxi Lolly is so pretty. I have my eye on the Barbie limited edition in strawberry. I think the Moonlight skate is also very beautiful and I've heard other good reviews on that skate. I'm a noob but having a lot of fun learning!
Good to know which ones are wide. I went thru two pairs (Candi Girls, which are pretty much a TORTURE DEVICE FOR WIDER FEET and Moxi Panthers, which hurt on onlymy right baby toe, but its pretty unbearable in that spot) before finding some that didn't hurt my toes on the sides. Chaya was the answer, and I bought 2 pairs of them. They're heavenly, like tennishoes, perfectionout of the box. I have a pair of Red Jackson Vipers on the way too just because I want some red skates and they're supposed to be wide and comfortable too. I kind of still want a pair of black skates though, and the Panthers are better since I stretched them, they're real suede, but the pain still shows up in ONE LITTLE SPOT after a couple hours. Maybe moonlight rollers could have my next (black) pair...I wish I could get the Chaya dance skates because they're solid black but come in men's sizes and the smallest I've found is a 40, which is a 8.5 in women's, and I need a 7, 7.5 max. I can't understand why in the world they wouldnt make their plain black pair available for everybody... Chayas are so cushy and amazing, you really might want to try a pair, youll fall in love with how they feel, plus they come with nylon plates so theyre not too heavy and they come with 78A octo paseo wheels that have really rounded edges. (I changed both mine to pulse wheels and the chaya big softies but those others are really nice too, just preference...But thanks for the info I really appreciate your review...
I love my moonlight rose quartz, however, I wear a womens 9 1/2, I bought an 8 they are very wide, they fit like a 9 1/2 wide. So sizing down would make the boot too short and my toes crunched. I own the Lollies and although very narrow, they really do conform to your foot after a few rides. When I was a beginner, I had difficulty with balance and such in these skates until I bought the Beach Bunnies. OMG, the difference was incredible. Soo supportive, they need a little break in time, but once you break them in they make all the difference in the world. If you have a very wide foot, the moxie panthers are a great beginner skate but the boot is slightly heavier. I’m also going to recommend the Chaya premium for a new skater. Supportive. Lightweight and awesome. I still go back to my beach bunnies to master a new move, than return to my Lollies or moonlights! And I have only changed the wheels on the moonlights. I hated them. I also own Bont Prostar, but that’s a whole different species. Lol
Candi Girls are also good beginner skates for $100 and they restock frequently on Amazon and Urban Outfitters. I also have Moxi Lollys and they are a level up for sure- but much higher price point.
I'm glad you mentioned your ankle. I also have a concern being I've broken both my ankles and a foot. So I have been concerned about comfort. Thank you
Thank you for this. I am having a hard time finding a skate. I think by you having a comparison of four different skates, this may help in my decision.
I have recently gotten the BTFL skates. The trucks came crooked but that was a SUPER easy fix. I just loosened them, turned them straight, and then tightened them. Other than that everything has been awesome with them. I think the bearings have been improved from when you purchased them because mine roller perfectly once I adjust the wheels! I love that they aren’t too stiff and they ride GREAT OUTDOORS! Bumps and all! The price in US is now $159 plus tax so mine came out to be $171.17. I’m about to be putting rollerbone wheels and bearings on them so we’ll see how they ride indoors lol.
might be a little late, but bearing spacers are the solution to your wiggly wheel problem. Bearing spacers allow you to fully tighten the axel nuts, locking a perfectly free-spinning wheel into place.
Chicago are great beginner/intermediate skates. I grew up on them. And I just bought two new pair - one for outdoor and one for indoor (but mainly because I wanted a pair of black and a pair of white - and did not want leather skates). If you're going to skate outside, swap out the Chicago wheels for some wheels with 78a hardness and go for it! Well worth the price tag.
Omg ! Yes to the Lolly being narrow. Fit perfect on my left but my right is in pain. I definitely need more padding because when I put on Antik skates they are so comfortable. So I’m definitely going to try the moonlight rollers. I already know I’m definitely going to change the plates and wheels just want the boot lol
My old Chicago’s are absolute trash but hey, they were really great to learn on and beat up. If I go to rough areas like textured parking garages or rough roads I’ll still wear them because I’m alright with them being shredded. 👍👍 good first skates
We’re the same foot size! Bunions and everything - i was told a 7 MLR could fit me but I didnt believe them cause of my wide feet! hopefully gonna snag an 8 during the next restock. I was also worried about the lolly width; i love how thin the upper part compared to moonlights
The btfl wheels have a hard core. They actually roll very well. I skatevon my Scarlett pros daily. I don't know why she would have that issue. I will say that I did upgrade my wheels and bearings shortly after I got them because I like light up wheels. Lol
i bought some impala skates today, i have heard that the boot comes apart from the sued, there is a 30 day return policy so if that does happen i will return them and invest in the moonlight skates!
They're so hard to get!! Fritzy's restocks Moxi's and so many others pretty regularly fritzysrollerskateshop.com/collections/moxi and moonlight roller has the emerald color available I think www.moonlightroller.com and amazon has a few okay options. Good Luck!!
Aside from Fritzys, Try Sin City skates , rollerskate nation , pigeons rollerskate shop, Medusa skate shop... wicked skate shop ? Those are a few and you can follow them on IG to see when new stuff drops!
I wondered about the wobbling myself and think the the space between the bearings is two wide and maybe the don’t have a space I have to take them out and look. But I love how lite they are they are as lite as my edeas, and I like that they aren’t hard casted so I have more ability to get low. But not one to jump in lol will break ankles for sure
Hopefully you have found something but in case not I would sign up for email notifications from Fritzy's Skate Shop or the Moxi website. Moxi especially will release skates over night so if you catch the notification early you can get them before they sell out. Also follow Fritzy's on Instagram and they will have product updates live and will let you know when they will drop Lolly's on the website. That with the email notification will help.
hi there! thank you so much for the review. it sounds like you're a similar size as i am and i think you forgot to say- what size in the BTFLs did you purchase?
I want to get back into skating and I’m so glad I found your video. I want a skate with good support but not too stiff. How much does each pair weigh? Are the Chicagos the heaviest? I’m so excited to skate again. I was really good at it and hope I still am. Can’t wait!
Hard to watch your video with transitions causing echo from one clip to another and not leveled volume. But got through this and I think I will go with Moxi Lolly for my daughter.
Okay... I fixed the link in the description and here it is as well... let me know if it doesn't work i.refs.cc/Fq9a9luE?smile_ref=eyJzbWlsZV9zb3VyY2UiOiJzbWlsZV91aSIsInNtaWxlX21lZGl1bSI6IiIsInNtaWxlX2NhbXBhaWduIjoicmVmZXJyYWxfcHJvZ3JhbSIsInNtaWxlX2N1c3RvbWVyX2lkIjo3NDgwNzgxODl9

What color Moonlights did you get? I’m waiting for my cosmic quartz from eBay, really excited.
@@KitKatToeBeans do you like them after some months ? I want to upgrade from my impala skates to something nice :)
On the website they don’t have those wheels available may u send me the link if u find those wheels?
Good to know. I have a bad foot injury so its nice to see someone mentions comfort and heel stability
A DIY loop on the tongue is a great idea for the lollies
Not only do I agree, but I would pay to see how that’s done 😂

Thanks for the great review Maegan. Skate! Dance! Enjoy! BTW, the bearings on the BTFL skates have been hugely improved.
Don't know why there aren't more likes, this video was succinct and helpful. Thanks
I'm glad you mentioned your ankle. I also have a concern being I've broken both my ankles and a foot. So I have been concerned about comfort. Thank you

Hi I'd love for you to do an update, about what you changed on the skates, and wich you recommend afterwards! :)

very informative and helpful. I came for the shoes review and learned about wheels tooo! Can’t wait to get my pair of Chicago skate and wheels.
Chicago are great beginner/intermediate skates. I grew up on them. And I just bought two new pair - one for outdoor and one for indoor (but mainly because I wanted a pair of black and a pair of white - and did not want leather skates). If you're going to skate outside, swap out the Chicago wheels for some wheels with 78a hardness and go for it! Well worth the price tag.
What size wheels for outdoor 58 or 62 for the Chicago skates
Omg ! Yes to the Lolly being narrow. Fit perfect on my left but my right is in pain. I definitely need more padding because when I put on Antik skates they are so comfortable. So I’m definitely going to try the moonlight rollers. I already know I’m definitely going to change the plates and wheels just want the boot lol
My moxi Panthers hurt on my right foot but not my left foot too... thats interesting to hear you have the same issue... hmm...
Thanks for the review. I’ve made my decision. Moonlight!!!!
My old Chicago’s are absolute trash but hey, they were really great to learn on and beat up. If I go to rough areas like textured parking garages or rough roads I’ll still wear them because I’m alright with them being shredded. 👍👍 good first skates

350.00 the tongue should not be floppy and every one keeps complaining about it
I have been trying to order skates since the beginning of the pandemic and they are always sold out.
@Anita k. thanks they do have some but not in my size 😢😢😢
Call skate shops all over the country. I live in New England & I found lollys in stock at a shop in Miami Florida and they sent them to me!
Do you mind sharing the name of the shop in Miami?
@@anodetolocs8028 fritz Skate shop on Lincoln street xx
@@Alyskaaaaa Thank you!
On the BTFLs, if outdoor wheels don't have a hard plastic at the core they will bind and not roll well regardless of the bearings.
The btfl wheels have a hard core. They actually roll very well. I skatevon my Scarlett pros daily. I don't know why she would have that issue. I will say that I did upgrade my wheels and bearings shortly after I got them because I like light up wheels. Lol
Great video!!! I have the same sofa lol.
Thanks!! ...and sofa twins, lol ;)
I kinda like the BTFL, I'm planning on buying them
Same, I just can’t figure out which size to get
@@skythehippie4772 same, I didn't order yet because still don't know my size 😢
i bought some impala skates today, i have heard that the boot comes apart from the sued, there is a 30 day return policy so if that does happen i will return them and invest in the moonlight skates!
Skates are sold out EVERY WHERE I don’t know where to buy any right now!
They're so hard to get!! Fritzy's restocks Moxi's and so many others pretty regularly fritzysrollerskateshop.com/collections/moxi and moonlight roller has the emerald color available I think www.moonlightroller.com and amazon has a few okay options. Good Luck!!
Aside from Fritzys, Try Sin City skates , rollerskate nation , pigeons rollerskate shop, Medusa skate shop... wicked skate shop ? Those are a few and you can follow them on IG to see when new stuff drops!
But Fritzys restocks pretty often and they always have it in store as opposed to preordering and waiting on anything... They also ship super fast !!
@@Smallbootyhoe3869 they literally ship in like 2 days or less! They're amazing!
I wondered about the wobbling myself and think the the space between the bearings is two wide and maybe the don’t have a space I have to take them out and look.

The one thing I wondered about is why the jack boot has the lace lock on the tongue but the Lollies do not. I don't get it! Great video!!!!
I can't find moxys anywhere does anyone know of any sites that aren't sold out? Thanks for the review

Are you a Charlie's Angel :) I love your jean jacket
I want to get back into skating and I’m so glad I found your video. I want a skate with good support but not too stiff. How much does each pair weigh? Are the Chicagos the heaviest? I’m so excited to skate again. I was really good at it and hope I still am. Can’t wait!
Could you please do a review on foxy skates? I’m trying to decide between foxy skates and moxi skates on Amazon
Can you review the chaya skates?? Thank you! Great review!!
How were the moonlights after you changed out the wheels?
The Chicagos - I was wondering how much they weigh? VS the other options? Thanks
Particularly the BTFL and MLR. Same factory on those
Will you update on the moonlight?
Great review!
Hi Maegan would you say Moonlight rollers can be used indoors as well?... I loved your video :)
awesome
Quite a few of these skates on the current market are the same exact product with different branding.
Hard to watch your video with transitions causing echo from one clip to another and not leveled volume. But got through this and I think I will go with Moxi Lolly for my daughter.
Love the vid! the Fritzy's disc code doesn't seem to be working :( Can you help? :)
Oh NO! Sorry for my delayed response! I'll try to fix the link now. Thanks!
Okay... I fixed the link in the description and here it is as well... let me know if it doesn't work i.refs.cc/Fq9a9luE?smile_ref=eyJzbWlsZV9zb3VyY2UiOiJzbWlsZV91aSIsInNtaWxlX21lZGl1bSI6IiIsInNtaWxlX2NhbXBhaWduIjoicmVmZXJyYWxfcHJvZ3JhbSIsInNtaWxlX2N1c3RvbWVyX2lkIjo3NDgwNzgxODl9
What outdoor wheels do you recommend?
Radar energy wheels and Bont 78a outdoor wheels for outdoor... I also love the BONT glow wheels, they're hybrid, 83a I think.
More skate videos pleaseeeee
Don't really like your editing.
