Description
The Powerslide Imperial Special Edition freeskates offer an excellent balance between cost and performance. These skates might be ideal for you if you seek agile and manoeuvrable options for slalom and urban freeskating. With a high-quality hard boot, these Powerslide freeskates ensure significant power transfer and support, perfect for those who desire these features. They will suit you well if your feet are slightly narrower.
- The High-Cut cuff provides optimal ankle support to stabilize and lessen muscle fatigue
- The Aluminum frame is known for its direct handling characteristics while remaining very lightweight
- The rockered frame enhances manoeuvrability as the front and rear wheels are slightly smaller
- Powerstrap closure prevents heel lift with an extra strap over your instep for secure fit and added control
- 72mm or 76mm wheels with 85A hardness allow for a highly responsive and playful ride
- Liners are removable and come with a stretchable toe-area
- The combination of breathable mesh and foam in the liner ensures your feet stay comfortable and well-ventilated
- No brake is included
Ensure to inspect the screws prior to the initial use and tighten them if needed. It is also important to regularly check the condition of the screws afterward.
Notice: The strap/loop on the back of the boot is intended for carrying the skates and should not be used to pull the skates on.

| "Considering that I am only a beginner, I would like to say these are perfect. They are comfortable, and just feels amazing." | |

| "Love love love these skates! I've been riding these skates exclusively for the last several months, and I don't ever want to go back to a flat set up! Having had no experience with rockered skates prior to purchasing these, I was definitely nervous, but the accessible price point made it worth the risk. Best gamble ever! I am in love with these skates. My skills and confidence have sky-rocketed since discovering my "edges", and the PS Imperial Special Edition made this discovery so much more natural and intuitive. I wear shoe size 6.5 US womens, and I purchased the US 4/5 boot. Initially, I thought they were extremely tight with pressure points around the toes, but within a few weeks of wearing them, they fit me perfectly without any discomfort at all. (I chose to wear mine in, rather than baking the heat moldable liners). I may upgrade to a higher-end freeskate in the future, but for now, these are perfect! Thanks Powerslide & Skatepro!" | |

| "Awesome freestyle skates arrived quickly. Baked the liner and once the liner is broken-in after a couple of hours of use they fit like a glove fit and snug and the power transfer is amazing. Very maneuverable rockered setup. The skates are very comfortable with no pressure points. Will buy again thank you SkatePro you guys are awesome!" | |

| "These were an upgrade from my beginner skates. They only have 72mm wheels (for my size), so it is difficult to maintain my speed without exerting so much energy. They are a very quiet ride and the wheels glide along the street beautifully - like butter, seriously. I measured my foot according to Powerslide's size chart but my skates are too small. My toes and balls of my feet lose circulation and go numb. I re-laced and loosened my laces, adjusted every strap, tried thick and thin socks, broke them in, and even bought insoles/ inserts for the boot. I wear a size 5 shoe and bought size 5.5 - 6 skates. These are also for more narrow feet." | |

| "Poor product. Some screws are entered deep inside the shoes that irritate the body. The company forgot to cover the screws!!!" | |

Reply from SkatePro: Thank you so much for your effort in writing this review. I can see you have been in contact with my colleagues and have been offered a solution. We did not hear back from you after that. I'm sorry to hear that the problem still seem to arise. I'll contact you again, so we can have a second look at your claim. // Doreen |
