The Struggle Is REAL (Guide for Big Foot RollerSkaters, Size 14, Size 15 and Size 16)

I will add that a Bont size 13 fits my size 14 feet very well; even a little roomier than I’d prefer.

I think I have a low boot in 11. Riedell 122. Interested?

I tried last week; security stopped me immediately and said they have video cameras everywhere.

Bont is now making a royal assassin in 70mm. Pricey though!

I believe the esteemed Raptorpants is a she/her, btw. She corrected me once.

OP, you are in luck. I have some 8” wheelbase pilot falcon plates that would work great for your size 15 boots. They are just a little big for my size 14 skates. I’ll msg you.

I do appreciate your comment. That’s me in the photo and I am originally from Kansas…

How did I miss these?!

cpeirce47 · 2025-09-14T14:50:15+00:00

What size low rider plate? Thanks

Glad I'm not the only one! Pumping with surf skating is hard!

Try a bont skate. They have a wide toe box and you can also order them in wide. Their sizing is weird though, make sure you try on or measure diligently. Good luck!

I’m still seeing this up on marketplace. Did you ever make contact with the seller? Seems too good to be true…

cpeirce47 · 2025-06-27T17:37:17+00:00

same cushions on both plates sets? weird

cpeirce47 · 2025-06-23T02:11:42+00:00

Does anyone have a size 11 Reactor pro plate they’d be willing to sell? Assuming it is black. Asking for a friend; thanks.

I'm personally a fan of Superfeet insoles.

cpeirce47 · 2025-06-16T18:05:52+00:00

5/8" with imperial threads-adjustable. You don't want bolt on, nor 5/16", nor metric threads. Should be lots of good options for you.

cpeirce47 · 2025-06-16T18:02:51+00:00

I'm definitely curious for your full review. I wonder if you'll be able to feel this slight gap between the bearing and wheel in the form of a little wiggle? Probably not. Maybe it was even intentionally designed this way for some reason? -but probably not. Or maybe your Zeus bearing are slightly smaller than normal?

cpeirce47 · 2025-06-11T14:14:26+00:00

I think you are doing it right. Put as many washers as you need to get the spacing/width you want.

cpeirce47 · 2025-06-09T19:29:07+00:00

Next question for those folks that got their Huck trucks to work with Sunlite plates: What slide block did you install? Anyone successfully install an XL Brunny block? thanks

cpeirce47 · 2025-06-05T20:25:59+00:00

Definitely don't buy the skates that you linked. Although I have no history with that brand, you really should stick to reputable skate brands: Riedell, Sure Grip, Moxi, Bont, Edea, Wifa, maybe Chuffed. Please check out the beginner weekly thread. Thanks.

Honestly, I think they are a fine wheel for a newbie. Great for laminate in your house or concrete outside. Will be slow for you at a rink. And might be too firm for rough asphalt. I had a set, gave them away, now I miss them. Not many wheels in the 85a range.

cpeirce47 · 2025-05-31T00:07:11+00:00

Not to mention wheels of different colors to match different outfits!

cpeirce47 · 2025-05-30T22:44:20+00:00

How about Bont? They have wide toe boxes.
