Labeda Voodoo U7 Speed Roller Skates

Ladies - the directions tell you to order 1 size down from your typical women’s size - i should have gone with what the net said which was to order 2 sizes down (I wear women’s size 9 & ordered a size 8 - they were a size too big & I had to return them & but size 7 but when I did that the black ones I wanted were almost $100 more than the green - so I ordered the green).Update:So the green color is not as pictured - the actual color is darker - like the color of Persian limes (the kind you slice up to put in your Corona). The design is awesome!!! The skate boot seems quality - the wheels do not spin as fast as my Riddells so I may need to get different bearings?These were an exchange as i originally ordered a size down as per the directions for women’s skates but it is 2 sizes down for women’s skates (I am a US women’s size 9 & I ordered a 7 which fit perfect).The tongue on these skates is why this review gets a 4. It is very hard and rubs the base of my ankle where it joins to my foot. I really hope this breaks in. I will wear mole skins to brace for the blister that will ensue.

I skate several times a week. Heavy use and technical skating approved. May need to upgrade the wheels but thats almost mandatory if you are a technical skater. Bearings are suprisingly ok, i soak mine in hemp seed oil to start though but they hold up nice. Trucks arent the best and cushions are a bit of a joke

After a couple other brands coming apart while skating, these are still going strong. Wear them about twice a week since purchased— about 6 months ago. Best skates I’ve ever owned

I can't find tennis shoes as comfortable as these skates. I purchased these skates because there leather and to skate outdoors. I put some soft wheels on these skates. The bearings are sweet.

Awesomeness

Very nice boot. Once I got all the screws adjusted, they skate perfectly with very little break in needed. LOVE LOVE LOVE

Nice fit, great looking, very pleased

Nice skates!
