Hey y’all! Since I pride myself on honest reviews I wanted to let you know that I’m not making any money from that discount code, it’s strictly to help y’all get your hands on some Slades at a better price. Free worldwide shipping is a pretty insane deal so thanks Slades!
I am in love. Definitely getting a pair. I feel like they will be great for those that like to skate around town but hate when you need to walk on toe stops up hill. Lol. I've been looking into sneaker skates and I think I found the pair I want. Also the price is pretty amazing. Considering I've seen some sneaker skates for $400+ . Love your channel.

so glad she did another review on detachable roller skates! Ive been asking my mom to get some flaneurz/slade rollerskates as a christmas/birthday gift for this year! Im rly excited too!
@@jeremyhaliski5457 I bought mine for $80 on amazon, and for a regular ride on a walk way and a few small jumps, they are still good, almost a year later, and I still have them as back up... I've recently bought boardwalks which are awesome also.
Started skating more during quarantine and wanted Flanurez since the first video you put out about them. I live in a place where sometimes I can skate for a bit and sometimes I need to walk. It's very hilly here, and some streets and sidewalks are crappy. Also want to go inside a restaurant to get a quick bite to eat bit it's inconvenient to take my skates on and off. I'm so excited to purchase these new skates, especially since they are much cheaper!
These look great! I guess the sole would wear down like a normal shoe if you wore them as shoes a lot. With that said, they are still mainly skates and you'd only wear them when you wanted to skate somewhere but didn't want to change into actual shoes or boots once you arrived. Great idea, especially if that plate stays tightly fixed over time and lots of wear.
Just today I got the shipping notification for my slades, so this videos is perfect timing😂 I always a trust your reviews, so this gave me some piece of mind. Could have used the free worldwide shipping code when I bought them, but living in the EU it was really not that bad luckily. Had to pay 218€ with shipping. I honestly can't wait to skate in them. I don't think I will be able to use them to their full potential right now, with all the snow outside, but once we get to dryer months again, I can see them being used daily just to get around quicker in the city.
Thanks for this super informative video. I went to Barcelona recently and all I wanted to do was cruise around but it was so annoying having to constantly change between my shoes and skates (for example on the beach - if there was a massive sandy patch) I’m seriously considering buying a pair of these now!
I feel like these would be great for travel if you wanted to just be able to cruise around a new city and pop into restaurants and landmarks. I’m very intrigued!
i can see these becoming popular in the next few years if the clipping mechanism becomes more smooth, maybe some kinda magnet could be added amazing for daily exploring, just need different trainers styles to suite and possibly laceless types too
HOLY CRAP WHY DIDNT I SEE THIS EARLIER?!? I just ordered a pair today! I cannot freaking wait to get them. My only thought is, I wish I could buy the hardware to install in my own shoes myself. :(
Oh my days these look soooo cool! I was looking into this sneaker/skate phenomenon when I stumbled on this video. I am totally sold now. Thankyou so much INDY
Yes I haven’t had that experience yet but there is actually a part I edited out where I was about to run into grass and I realized there was a ton of dog shit. Then I was like omg what would I do if I stepped in poop with these. I took it out because it was anticlimactic and didn’t really add anything but it’s def something to consider
Maybe you can get like thick washi tapes and any cloth tapes that’s easy to take off, to cover the holes? I would do that if I had these I think it would be work very well.
Hey, Indy! In your opinion, are the Slades good enough for you out of the box? Or are the significant adjustments you'd recommend to really push them to their max performance? How are the wheels and bearings? Are they okay, or would you swap them out for something better? Thanks for the review!
I'm so proud of you Indy your doing a lot for yourself and I'm going to try of I remember but I'm going to ask you when are you going coming to Albuquerque again that's when I followed you I'm not going to lie I forgot about you, IM SO SORRY! and then I almost bought the skates from Big5 and still haven't bought any skates and I'm just learning more about skating and looking and watching out for good ones. ALL THANKS TO YOU LAADIEE
one question though, i know you said it would be an adjustment going from a heeled boot to a sneaker sakte, I am a new skater mostly into artistic skating, do you think i could do things like coffins(hydroblade), waltz jumps and spirals in these? thank you!
I wouldn't jump in these because they don't have much ankle support and a plastic plate might not be sturdy enough. You could probably do spirals, for hydroblades I'm not sure.
For a coffins/hydroblades you'd need more ankle flexibility and strength to get all the way down into a squat without the heel. The ankle support of a heeled boot will also help stabilize you. A spiral will also be doable, but again, a heeled boot will help a lot. A little waltz jump would be fine, but you'll find it's difficult to hold good deep edges in a sneaker style skate. It would be very difficult and possibly dangerous to even attempt your single artistic jumps.
@@starfirebird3099 i think hydroblade would be fine, I can get into hydroblade position off skate and in skates, even barefoot so its ok without ankle support. just wondering about other things tho, i guess it would just be an adjustment period
Hi there! You can get little heel lift inserts that would help you get down into a squat just a bit easier in a sneaker skate! It's sort of like a pediatric shoe insert but only the heel part
Would you recommend this to a complete beginner? I'm thinking in between these and a pair of chaya melrose elite, I know they are different but I was thinking that these would be good if I want to skate all around the city. I live in the city and mostly travel by public transport (no car) so if I want to skate somewhere away from my home I will have to carry them during my commute, that's why I'm thinking of getting these. But at the same time the chaya melrose seems like the 'proper' skate (that is cheaper as well) so I'm little bit conflicted. Thanks in advance!!
Hi there! I've been skating for a few years and I feel like I could help out with your question: in short, it comes down to preference. The big difference you would have between the chayas and these (besides the plate coming off) would be that sneaker skates don't have a heel, and also don't provide as much ankle support since they don't go as high on your leg. If your intention is to skate in order to commute and you'd have to change in/out of skates a lot, these would be a great option. But if you're looking into dance/jam skating, artistic skating, or park skating, getting chayas may be a better option as you'll have more stability and the heel allows you to do tricks (especially those that involve squatting) more easily. Either way, I strongly believe that at the end of the day, as long as you're on wheels, you're garunteed to have a great time :)
@@anastasiyaborodenko3370 Thank you so much for the reply! It was really helpful and I think I will go for the Chaya Melrose for my first pair ;) The trick is now to try and get hold of a pair in my size 😂 Im so excited and I think it would be so fun!
@@rikawrites7104 I love them!!! I ended up getting the Chaya Melrose Elite in Dusty Rose and the boot is sooooo comfortable. There were no issues with breaking them in at all. I managed to go to the store and try it on and luckily they had my size, so I really recommend you do that as well if you can. Otherwise if you buy online, make sure you can return the skates if the sizing doesn't fit. I'm an EU 41.5 and ended up getting the EU 42 since they don't have half sizes and I'm glad I did because I have wide feet and the extra little bit of room helps. Plus I added some insoles because I have flat feet but if you don't then that's not necessary :) The cushions/trucks were a bit squeaky by the second session but after I unscrew them and put them back together the squeaking was gone so you may need to get a Y or T tool immediately after getting the skates. Also I will recommend a toe guard before you start because I skate outdoors and I slightly scratched the tip of the boot when I fell :( The tip of the Melrose Elites is in this hard material so the seam won't rip, so technically you don't need a toe guard, but it still broke my heart a little after seeing them get scratched so I got some. After a few months I'm still in love with these and I'm glad I took the plunge and got them. It's so important to get a colour you like and think its cute. I feel good every time I put them on. I had to stop for a while in January but I'm still slowly learning and going strong! Good Luck and let me know how it goes!!
@@canarytea7094 ahhh omg tysm for the response and the suggestions ☹💕 (and sorry for the super late reply ) I'm soooooo excited to start using them ☁️🤸♀️
i used the code on the last day!! i wouldn't have been able to afford it with international shipping. these will be my first new skates in a few years 😊 thanks!!!
I got an idea, you should go to a place where they don't allow skating and them say"hey NO skating', and you be like, oh NO skating' no problem! 🤭 I love to be a fly on the wall to see that!
Just saw these on insta, googled it, found your video, immediately ordered. Been looking for these, have had a pair of Heely's for a couple of years, but just never quite did it for me.
Would you recommend the slades or the flaneurz like which do you personally like better? Im leaning towards flaneurz mainly because I like the aesthetics of the other name brands shoes better. But I'm wondering if any of them are better than the other
@@nomadichomebody4230 I Have lollys too, I do love them a lot. But these are a cool novelty gift for those who aren’t too serious about skating and want to pick it up while still at a good price point! I like the idea of removable plates tbh lol
I would argue that these serve a different purpose than moxi lollies; I have both and I use them for different things. When I am artistic skating or park skating, my Moxie's provide the heel and stability I need to do certain tricks. When I'm commuting or doing a quick skate down the street to grab some coffee, Slade's allow me to easily remove the plate when I need to traverse a surface that I can't skate over or when I'm going into a shop or restaurant where they don't allow skates to be worn. Both are great! (Also I would keep in mind that lollies are made from real suede and have higher manufacturing costs, leading to a higher price)
Hi! How have you found the metal braces and bottom of the soles hold up after walking on them for a while? As it's normal for shoes to wear down, get scuffed, holes, things get stuck in the ridges, etc. How have the soles and cavities for the connecting mechanisms held up for that? Have things gotten stuck, specifically in the metal, and worn down the metal? Thank you~
HiI just wanted to ask a question if anyone can answer this but on moxi roller skates can I get different wheels? The ones that I wanted to get was like the glowing ones. I just wanted to know if it's possible.
Your code is no longer valid but I don't think it's been a month since you posted the video. I tried to use the code a week ago but they had stopped selling s-quads until Jan 3. Now it's Jan 4 and your code is not accepted but your video was posted 10 December. Bit disappointed that I can't take advantage of the discount. Not sure I want to go ahead with a €40 delivery fee. 🤔
Ahh cool maybe you should attend an ice show with those. It will make the cast so jealous. I have an upcoming show and just last week during dress rehearsal my laces broke out of nowhere so I put derby laces in mine.
Hi Indy, you mentioned you are size 8US and got the EU38. May I know your foot length please? I'm in between size eu39 and eu38, I don't know to choose bigger or smaller. My right foot is 25cm (their eu39 is 25.2cm) and my left is 24.6cm (their eu38 is 24.6cm), do you think I should take 39 or 38? 😅😅
Hi Indy Jamma Jones I have a pair of slades and I was wondering if you could show me what other toe stops fit in the skates as I know you have different ones and I really want to know what fits before I buy them I really like cute ones like flowers, stars and hearts, please help if you can
Hi I have a question. I checked their website and these detachable skate plates actually costed as much as an average pair of roller skates. So isn’t it just better if I buy a normal pair?
So I just found you. I just ordered a pair of Chaya onyx skates. I haven’t skated in 30 years I’m 61 and in decent shape. I cannot wait to get back out there and I’m not far from Venice at all. Perhaps one day I could get some tips from you.
I agree skates in general are expensive, but for what these are and compared to everything else on the market it’s “affordable” 🤷♀️ I def don’t have $260 to throw around either 😅
i just found out about them and every video says "they are around 200€" they are 290€ now ... 45% price increase over a year is insane - so next year they are 420 then?
The concept is nice but the things are still quite bulky. That plus the forward break. I would think inline skates with e.g. 2-4 wheels in a row could be more compact, lighter, no need for break as you can easily T-break.
The point of these is to be able to quickly switch to shoes so that you can enter shops or go into foot traffic only streets (which usually have a skate ban). With these you don't have to take your whole skate off. You would have to take off the whole skate with normal inlines or quads. It's not necessarily meant to save you space in your bag, carrying them is temporary till you leave the walk-only zone.
We can still T stop, plow stop, hockey stop, stutter stop etc on a quad skate, those types of stops aren't limited to inlines. Any stop you can do on a inline is possible on a quad skate. But since the quads have the option of a toe stop, we prefer that, because it's cheaper over time to be wearing down your hard cheap toe stops, that to be wearing down your expensive wheels, whenever you want to stop. Inline skates wear through wheels to stop and therefore cost more maintinence wise for street skating. After a day of inline street skating, taking your skates off and noticing there's a small chunk of your wheel missing where it caught a rock is just heart wrenching The toe stop on a quad skate is useful in it's own ways too: -to be able to run up stairs -to have a completely stable base to open heavy doors without needing a wide stance (which blocks other pedestrians) -to walk over gravel between paths without getting stones embedded in your wheels -to dodge in emergency situations by running onto the grass verge at full speed From someone who skates both types.
So I’m an avid skater but wanna get into dancing and stuff. Would you recommend these? Found a great deal on some barely used ones. Should I cop or would you not recommend these for that kinda thing?
Hi, is it durable enough to withstand jumps? I wanted to start practicing jumps and cruising. I'm a beginner at skating but wanted to get this skates because of our area and I don't want the hassle of changing shoes.
Thanx for video INDY! 😘💖 Got my pair of Slades 1,5 month ago)) In general - superfine product, but I still loose my balance doing crosses, or trying to do some things with ages. Can you recommend something I could do to fix this? And also have a problem with changing the wheels (my suregrip aerobics I prefer to put in for skating outside - don't match) . Have you tried to change the wheels on your Slades already?
I think you can buy the tiny insoles that looks like heels.. Don't know how to explain English isn't my native language but maybe that would help you getting your balance ? ^^'
Hey!! Could you please review the Ridell and moonlight skates and then compare the 2 of them 😭 I can’t choose which one to purchase and I’ve heard good and bad about both of them 😅
Hi! Can you do a review on the Gonex Women's Skates? I think they're super cute and look amazing, but I'm a little sketchy because Amazon products aren't always what they seem, annnd because it only has 37 reviews, but a 4.5 star average so-
Hey! 👋🏻 I’ve been looking at a pair of roller skates by Altar’d State but it’s a clothing store so I’m not sure I trust the skates! Could you maybe do a review on a pair please? 😁🙏🏻 love you so much!
Hey Indy Jamma Jones I'm not sure if you'll see this but i just bought my first pair of moxi's I invested all my money into them but I'm not sure if the 82a are soft enough for the ground I would like to skate on, I was wondering if I could get your opinion on the 82a wheels
A new subscriber since I'm looking for a suitable skater for my daughter. Based from your assessment, do you mean it's perfect for students living in dorms? I'm actually looking for my daughter since the university she's interested in has quite a huge campus.
hello, I am getting these skates for chrismas, I have 1 question though. can you send me the link to the tool to adjust the trunk and wheels and stopper for thos skate specifically
Do the Slades still come with the choice of Iconic and Premium plates? If not, which plate is it that comes with the Slades or is it a different plate to the aforementioned ones altogether? Great review, thanks xx
I have a pair of Slades and it’s neither the Iconic nor the Premium. The Slades are Flaneurz’s “affordable” model. They do offer the “change your shoes” option though, just like their original Flaneurz.
I would love sneaker skates as I'm nlmore into urban looking skates and I don't go to the roller rink but for street skating I'm worried about ankle support on sneaker skates, I looked at their site and the had some cool adidas ones with a higher ankle support, do you think they are sturdy enough for road skating?
