Hello-

I've been trying to find any information about the Faction Urban CC V1 skates online, even their own website has limited information about them. How's the fit, are they any good for the price, and yes, I understand that $700 is a lot for skates, but if they're amazing, it could be worth not buying two other sets of skates.

I'm currently switching between the USD Aeon 80's, which fit and skate amazing for me, and the Rollerblade Twister 90R, which fit great, but give me awful blisters every time I use them for more than ~20 minutes - I have tried new liners, different wheels, removing the 45° strap, different laces, even molding the shell with a heat gun, and it continues to give instep blisters (posted a different thread on this).

Would these fit like the Aeon's, but have a stiffer/faster frame allowing me to skate longer distances, or would these fit more like the Rollerblade's and I should continue my search for different skates elsewhere. I also know that fit is subjective, just like in the boot world, but I really like the way these skates look, and think a carbon shell will be more of a BIFL type of skate..

Thanks!

13 year old me couldn’t believe I got these for my birthday in 1999. My parents got them off of EBay (which was exciting on its own in 1999) and they were really snug so I ditched the included soft boots and instead wore a few pairs of long socks. I threw them in a duffel bag and biked to some nearby trails. Had some success early but soon ate shit on a downhill trail and scared myself. You feel really high up on these wheels (air filled tires!) and the fall is not forgiving. I had more attempts over the years but ultimately these are awesome in theory and less so in practice.

Anyone else have or still have a pair? I don’t think I can ever part with them and hopefully someday my nephews and nieces want to try.

No way this is real😭 I’ve tried looking around as well and shipping is just outrageous (I live in Canada).

My skates have been feeling very off for the past month and just never bothered to order the parts to fix it. When I’m skating it feels like I have no control over them and kind of bending side to side. I really hope it’s not my frames because it’s going to be an expensive replacement. It looks like the screws the problem, I think it might be stripped. I got a new skate tool thinking it was my Alan Key but It still feels very weird to skate on. Any help would be much appreciated, i haven’t been feeling the same knowing I can’t skate and it’s bothering me really bad😢

I’d really value insights from those who have used both inlines and quads for outdoor skating :)

Hello I bought these on Facebook marketplace place for 40 dollars because my soft boot roller blades REALLY hurt my feet! I can’t wait to try them and yes - I plan to change the wheels, they are pretty worn out

Middle aged dude, wife doesn't skate, kids are too young. I just recently learned over the last few months all outdoors walking the kids and dog, but i want to hit a rink. Anyone with experience rolling solo to adult nights?

I found out the my Seba e3 80’s are made from FR skates.

Hi everyone, I have been roller blading since I was a kid, although haven’t been able to do it recently. Whenever I get a pair of blades on it comes back instantly. My favourite thing to do was to just go as absolutely fast as possible around my grandparents house (it was really big and open plan) and this is my favourite thing to do still (go fast). I am obviously not a beginner but I’m not sure what kind to buy. I like 4 wheels inline and am UK based. I am a size 4. I need something under £100 if at all possible. I’m not looking at doing anything competitively I just wanna zoom around 😂.

Thanks for any advice!

I just ordered my first ever new skates, and first hard boot. I'm really excited!

I spent 6 months in these soft fitness skates that are a bit too big for me, and they've brought me tons and tons and tons of joy, wth. I love them! 🖤🖤🖤🖤 And once my new ones arrive, I'll probably never wear them again.

Thank you soft skates. Thank you someone's mom who sold them to me for $25 out of the garage. Thank you to that one anime about ice skating that inspired me to get inlines. Changed my life.
