I had heard about these about a month ago and was really interested in trying them out, this really helped answer all of my questions, thanks for the video!
Happy to read it was helpful :) Thank you so much!
I would’ve absolutely loved these when I was a kid . The school would throw a skating party every few months . Always wanted some kind of shoe / skate hybrid . These look cool , I want a pair now too .
The 360 camera footage of you skating was mesmerizing.😍
Thank you so much for you review! xx 🔥
I think I’ll try some of these. I was worried since while I’m certainly not new to skating I never tried anything to big. But These look super convenient
Did you end up getting a pair? If so, how do you like them?
@@MyHam-os4bq I did end up getting a pair, and I do really like them, they take a while to break in though, and while backpack portable aren't exactly on the go (a bit clunky I suppose) but besides that they're nice.
@@facelesssmoon9765 that’s great! I ordered a pair of custom Flaneurz with Vans and they should be here any day now I’m so excited. Thanks for the reply!
Good, honest review. Thank you!
Thank you for the review! ❤
Hi! How have you found the metal braces and bottom of the soles hold up after walking on them long term? As it's normal for shoes to wear down, get scuffed, holes, things get stuck in them, etc., how have the bottoms of the shoes held up to that? Have things gotten stuck, specifically in the metal, and worn down the metal so they don't attach as well? I w ant to be able to _walk_ in the shoes without worrying about scuffing and damaging the connecting points making it unusable / unsafe to use the skating portion. Thank you~
Hi,
I was concerned about this too but so far I had no problems with it other than the occasional mud, but the holes are big enough that usually nothing stay in them and since they sit higher than the rubber sole, that seems enough protection from wear and tear. It is more the attach and dettach of the plate what causes some wear on the metal parts bu tthey are still working on mine :) I hope that helps!
Great review. Thank you so much
Great review video !
Great review, thank you 😉
Amazing video!
Love this, will be buying one. Good video and demo.
I also like how you took the video. What do you use for top shots, ground shots? Is there someone else assisting you?
Insta 360
Great video!
I have a pair of skate without stopper, If I buy the SLADES do you think I could swap their attachment and shoe to my plates?
Thanks
Thank you for your review. Is there a problem with combining it with the wheel if there is a foreign substance under the shoes?
I never had a problem with that because the holes of the mounting are pretty big so you can slide in even if there is some dirt.
I just bought my slades and I love them they are so cute and I’m using them to learn to skate there nice they get rlly dirty in the sole bit ykk that’s just how shoes are but I rlly like them but as a beginner skater I love them
Cool! I love mine too :D
did you size up/down/same compared to your regular shoe size?
@@Shashimiiii I think I got my exact shoe size and it fits nice tbh
Glad you love them!! Question, How long did shipping take?? And to what area?
@@nikaj111 Mine took 2 weeks to arrive to Spain but it was Xmas time so quite busy time for deliveries. It will be different depending in your location, I guess better ask Slades directly as they should know better. :D
Hope to have that someday 🥺
I already have the Flaneurz AF1's in black and I really wanted to just get the Slades shoe but that doesn't seem to be an option. :( Thank you for the review
This has now become an option
@@yasminsalih9168 Awesome. I need to replace mine they've seen better days. lol
How is the selfie stick invisible in the video tho
Thank you for this ! do you think they are good for beginners as a first per of skates ?
Yes, why not, you can learn all the basics and skate around on them without problems and they are as comfortable as a shoe, I would just recommend you to wear them tight to have good ankle support.
What is the max weight for an adult
Thanks for the review. Inwas wondering about the plates' durability. I'm afraid they would break after a few times. What do you think ?
I don't think so, the plate seems quite strong even they are made of plastic. At least for regular cruising they should be fine, like not doing skatepark or jumps.
Does the shoe sizes run small or just right? Thanks and great video!
They run true to size but more on the bigger side at least compared with most of my shoes/skates.
They actually run one size bigger than regular skates. I'm size 7 and slade skates more like size 8.
Buenas! He dado con este video porque me he hecho algo parecido pero con tornillos. El caso es que tengo un número grande (50eu) dónde podría comprar esto? Muchas gracias!
Un saludo
Slades estan solo hasta el 46. Flaneurz te puede montar el mismo sistema si les mandas tus zapatillas, lo unique que la talla máxima de plancha es 46 así que te quedará un poco pequeña. Te puedes montar tus propios patines con tornillos pero ponte una plantilla de metal dentro de la zapatilla para que no se rompa. Un saludo!
At the skateshop I'm probably going to buy them they recommend to buy a bit softer cushions, how do you feel about that? (they recommend picking PowerDyne Magic Cushions in Medium) Thanks again in advance! :-)
I don't find them hard at all, but I come from park and I like my bushing the hardest, maybe for someone coming from dancing for example they feel not so soft, but I find them ok to skate around the city really.
Where did you film this?
I just got mine today, i wear a New Balance U.S. size 11 mens and ordered a 45 and at first it felt a little big (maybe half a size) but as soon as i laced up and stood on them i felt secure.
Thanks for sharing this, I am sure it will be useful for other people looking to buy the Slades :D
@RAGNAROLL thanks for your video, I haven't roller skated in 20 years, and had difficulty just standing still on my slades, any tips on how to get the hang off it again.
@@KJ-ek2ze that's normal, give you some time to get used to them and relearn the skater position, always bend the knees and get low for a safe stance :)
Are the trucks really plastic?
Since when I wasia child, dreaming to have that roller skate, the problem is we're so poor. Hope to have that🥺
Nice video. I'm not sure what size to get. My Vans sneakers are all Eu43, but when i measure my feet, it's 27cm and their sizing chart says 27,2cm = eu42. The chart also says US10 men = 43. So even with the chart, there's a difference. Do i follow my shoesize 43 or the cm guiding?
The best is that you contact Slades directly. Double check you are measuring the foot correctly against a wall, but usually I would go for a 43 same as the shoes.
@@RAGNAROLL thx. I did several measurements, like you said, against the wall. But i guess 43 is the safer bet. I did contact them, but no response yet. Thx for the reply.
Did you get yourself a pair? I usually use my Mondo measurements as a guide. Shoe sizes differ, but metric measurements are constant. I have 265mm which would still be a 41 in their size chart (so 42 to be safe).
Would you recommend these for a beginner? I want to get into skating again but i havnt skated in a good 10 years or so (i was 8 and outgrew my skates) ive been looking at a few skates and these seem like my style but im concerned since alot of skaters say theyre different to regular skates
Hi,
Yes right, I also thing they are different than other skates. I mean like the are totally ok to skate around, so if you plan to just skate in flat these boots when fully tight work well. But it you plan to do like longer distance, dancing, or any sort of intense skating then I would recommend you skates with more ankle support and probably better wheels. I hope that helps :)
Now the real question is: how do we never see the camera stick??
hahahah It's a 360 camera, it's designed this way. It is still shocking to me too :D
How have these held up after a year? I’ve heard there are some serious issues with pivot cups. And can you replace the wheels for larger wheels on these? Thanks for the review.
Yes I added some bigger wheels with rounded edge, but other than that they are pretty good, I mean, same as a regular shoe after one year of use... I only use them for transportation but in my case they are holding well.
@@RAGNAROLL thanks for the reply! I will be using them for committing to/from my bus stop and around college campus, so not super heavy use. I’m guessing they will be good for that
So with the slades and flaneurz do you really have to purchase their shoes? Or they have plates to attach to your regular shoes as well?
You cannot mount their system into regular shoes, the shoes have to be send to their shop to be modified or buy the ones they have in stock already coming with the mounting plate.
@@RAGNAROLL thanks for that clarification :)
You live in Barcelona?
I'm in the USA, how do you figure the international shipping costs will be?
It should appear on the checkout but if you want to be sure better contact SLADES directly.
You dont pay shipping cost if the order is 100€+, im sure it counts for the usa too
Do they sell standalone parts at a cheaper price for DIY project?
Not that I know. The Slades/flaneurz sole system consists of many parts.
Seems like they were the perfect skates for
Commuting to the office
they are!
how long did they take to ship?
On the web it says they arrive in 2-3 shipping days! :)
are thy comfotable to walk in? Or are thy to stiff?
Out of the box I felt the shoes a little stiff but now they feel like any regular shoes, the soles bends and they are not heavier. The are comfortable to walk.
Is the difference between *Flaneurz and Slades* regional or something else? 🎊🤔
Flaneurz is the company, Slades is the product name made by the company. :)
Can you change the wheels and toe stoppers?
Yes of course! :D
@@RAGNAROLL can you do a video on how to do it please 🙏
I'm not very good at this kind of stuff and have ordered some Slades and would like to change the wheels and stopper eventually. Xx
@@pkk639 it's pretty simple, just remove the nuts holding the wheels and same for the stoppers :D
@@RAGNAROLL Hahaha and I thought I needed an engineering degree to do it!! I actually think I'm capable of doing this!! Thank you so much xx
Me encanta tus videos! Me compre un par y tampoco me gustaron las ruedas.
Muchas gracias Martha! sí yo creo que les cambiaré las ruedas, prefiero unas de perfil más redondo :)
how can i get them for not 400-500)
They cost 230€ on the official slades shop ^^'
are they ok for rocky surfaces?
Yeah they have off-road capabilities as well as desert sand mode. The wheels have independent suspension, it's a comfortable four wheel drive.
Link where to buy please😍 Thanks!
here :)

thank you for your review! really want a pair but the price is 290 euros as of today. Wish I found out about it earlier
all prices going up :S
Hi are skates heavy? like to normal skate shoes or lighter?
the boots are very light, they don't feel heavier than regular shoes and with the plate and wheels attached, it is of course heavier than a shoe but still lighter than most skates as everything is plastic.
I wanna buy these so badly just to skate around my neighborhood once in awhile. Normal skates ALWAYS cuts the back of my ankles and I don't know why. The skate shoes are always so heavy for me. I'm trying to learn how to skate so I hope these will be easier for me to use. I'm a 5.5 in shoe size but I'm really hoping a 6 isn't to much bigger on me. 😭
They are a great option to skate around!
How can i get camera like this?
This is the Insta360
I know you covered that in the video when you got them new but after some time, have you ever tried them on a ramp or for jumping down stairs or anything like this?
Hey yes I did, but it's not recommended, the shoe are not supportive enough and the plates and trucks are made of plastic so they are not strong enough. They are good for transportation.
I want to order a pair size 40 😊
Good idea!
@@RAGNAROLL but its not available in Europe
@@bahez761 They should be available, they are a French brand, you can get them here: www.flaneurz.com/en/slades/home
Hey if you are still interested in the Slades they gave me a 10% discount code in case you want to use it! code: RAGNASQUAD
Are the wheels worn out?
The wheels are holding ok, just I like more rounded profile wheels for cruising around the city, personal preference :)
@@RAGNAROLL thanks Can I choose the type of wheels?
How secure do you feel with these skates downhill?
Hey, as you can see on the braking test the stoppers work quite well on downhill so you can roll down some hills. They are not the most stable skates but with the laces tight they are good for any situation.
I sold mine. Too big and hard to skate in
Feel this, I was extremely disappointed and felt very unsafe in them…I stick to my Moxis 🤷♀️
@@angimation same
what wheel size? 58mm?
62mm
@@RAGNAROLLCan put it on 65size wheels?
No one talks about whether they fit according to regular shoe size.
if you watch the video you will see I cover that topic :)
Can't understand ur words, maybe u should get a mic
Yes It was a bummer to find out some of the audio was totally messed up. I have a new micro, hopefull the future videos will have better audio. Slowly improving :D
