What do you guys think of these skates? Do think I should buy them. They are pretty cheap so I feel it's worth taking a risk. Plus they look awsome as hell. Would be cool backup skates. plus like in 10 years I may be able to sell them for more.

What do you guys know about these skates?

I had a pair.

First, they're very heavy and there's not much in the way of support in the black areas of the boot. As I recall it's just a tough fabric with padding inside. Someone please correct me if that's incorrect.

I also had a very painful case of Plantar Fasciitis that was caused by this skate and I've heard of others having the same problem. In hindsight a better insole like Superfeet might have corrected this for me as I have relatively high arches.

A guy I play with is using them now and not having any problems and likes them very much.
