It wasn’t available when I bought mine so they must have just restocked, but they have some really cool color options and prints (like snakeskin) that none of the other brands are offering. But I imagine once I change the wheels I’m going to LOVE these Moonlight Rollers.Īll the colors are sold out right now but the emerald green, which I really love. I’ve already purchased new wheels but I’m still waiting for them to arrive and I wanted to give an honest review of all the skates stock before I swapped anything out. The only thing I really don’t love about these skates are the wheels, which is an easy change. That’s probably the only annoying thing about my pink Moxi’s, the tongues slips to the side pretty quickly and the laces loosen up and within 30 minutes I’m sitting down and retying them. I love how the tongue has a stabilizer (a loop to slip the laces though) so it stays put, though it’s so thick it would probably stay pretty well. Still though, my toe sits where it’s supposed to so I think just setting an insole in the skate will help with this. I sized down one size like I do with all my skates (I wear a woman’s 9 and I wear an 8 in skates -but always have a bit of room in front of my toes-I wish they had half sizes), but because they’re so wide, it almost feels like I could have gone down two sizes. They’re super padded like the BTFL skates, however have WAY MORE support than the BTFLs, which are pretty floppy, but I do like that boot as well for different types of skating. None of my other skates press on this point, but other than that, they’re comfy. They run WIDE, however the left boot was pushing on my outer foot and causing some pain that I didn’t expect due to the wide width. And now, of course I compare everything to my Moxi’s because it’s really hard not to, but these boots are really pretty comfy. However, shipping took forever so they were the last skates I actually got. They’re so pretty and I love the moon cutouts on the side and these were the first skates I bought. And luckily this is pretty good, but still not my favorite. I have finally found the smoothest area to roller skate up here which is a blessing because the wheels that come on the Moonlight Rollers are 82a -durometer (which is supposed to be an indoor/outdoor wheel), but I find that anything higher than a 78a just will not roll nicely on outdoor surfaces UNLESS it’s really slick. I’m even trying to figure out a way to build a roller rink up here in Lake Arrowhead, or figure out how to get the local park to do it for me □ Let’s Talk About the Skates… But again, once the initial reviews of all the skates are done, I can just go out and really enjoy all my new skates… but I’d be lying if I didn’t say it is what much of my thoughts are at the moment. Thankfully I was completely wrong and I’m so happy about it, and now I can’t get enough. I often wonder why I didn’t start sooner? …and then I realized I was scared my bad left ankle wouldn’t be able to actually handle skating, which is why my nearly brand new white Chicago skates were sitting in storage for so long. I’m having so much fun and it’s such a healthy hobby in so many ways that I never want to stop! I’m simply sharing my truth and the truth is… I’m sorry if I’m totally boring you with all of this… eventually, once I can review all the skates, I won’t be posting about it as much -or maybe I will, who can tell? □ My new Tik Tok account is meant only for skating videos so I can share without feeling like I’m overwhelming people who don’t really care about it, but I still share on Instagram as well. I was clearly trying to see just how many prints I could get away with mixing in one outfit, LOL, but I mean, TECHNICALLY, the bleach dye and the camo print are similar in style, but different in color and since the plaid coat shared all the same colors, I thought it actually worked and I really liked this outfit… AND, I had no intention of talking about skates in this post but then my Moonlight Rollers skates FINALLY ARRIVED and so I had to go out and roll and include my first impressions as I did with my other two skates because it just wouldn’t have been fair not to (If you’re interested here are my first impressions of my Pink Moxi Lolly Skates and my light blue BTFL Skates).
