Pics Are here
I decided to post in the roller doctor forum rather than the equipment forum because this where anyone who cares would hang out. Mods, feel free to move if this is inappropriate.
Anyway, I just got them so no formal review yet. My overall first impression is that these are quite possibly the best budget skates on the market, ice or roller. For comparison, I've worn CCM 452s, Bauer 1000s, Graf 750s, various Mission forward models and RBK 6K (forward inline skates). The boot out of the box is as stiff as my Grafs were when they were new. There is a surprising amount of support throughout the boot. MUCH better quality than any other lower end skate. I would even venture to say that this boot is of equal quality to many of the mid range skates you see today.
The chassis is pretty standard fare. It's nice and sturdy, but as initially expected, there isn't enough room for the toe laces. See the pics above for my work around.
The wheels feel nice. They're soft and seem to be of good quality. That being said, they will be my back up/practice set and my Rink Rat Crossbars will be my game set.
If anyone has any questions, fire away and I will try my best to answer.
