they are a very comfortable fit thanks to the memory padding, they never give in the corners no matter how hard you pussh and they are very light and this makes them fast off the mark. they are amazing at cornering and they are good for intermediate to advanced skaters, they build quality could be alot better, in the 100's the tounge would fray out and begin to wear away easy but that has been fixed ,and on these ones, the paint will wear away in the first few months if you are not careful, other than this minor problem, the skate is amazing.
