Comments: I'm a women's 11/12 street shoe and wear a men's 10. My R3s are a 10 and they fit perfect! I've been skating on them for 6 months now and I haven't had any problems. Unlike most skates, I didn't really have to break these in, which was very nice. Definitely recommend for fresh meat, and worth the price! Once skating for a few months though, I did upgrade my wheels but the flat outs were great when I was fresh meat

Comments: These sites are comfortable and work perfectly for skating indoors or outdoors (with different wheels). I love them- my daughter has a pair too!
