My first upgrade!! I started with Candi Girl Sabinas and they served me wonderfully for nearly a year, but it was time.

Thank you to Bruised Boutique in New Hampshire!! My wallet is glad they’re a long drive from me.

Thanks!! 🥰The wheels, toe covers and star charms carried over from my old skates, but with finally having adjustable stoppers I couldn’t resist splurging on the star-shaped ones ⭐️✨

Tgry look great!

I wish I could find somewhere to try them on, I might join the club. Lol Being in the middle of nowhere has burned me twice so far, and I hate to keep ordering skates that don't fit.

I feel your pain!! I was trying to buy a pair of these secondhand but was so stressed about sizing that I ended up driving an hour and a half across state lines to a shop. I’m glad I did bc I absolutely would have bought the wrong size.

Apparently I would get the wrong size, too. There are a couple bigger places about an hour and a half drive from me, but I can't find a skate shop at either. So far I'm looking at nearly 4 hours to get them in person. Ugh!

ericaveeOP•

Oh no! Yeah, the place I went is one of the only dedicated skate shops in New England, so a lot of people drive over 2 hours to get there. I’m lucky that I work retail and have days off during the week, but I know how hard it is for most of us to schedule a random daytrip! I hope you can figure something out soon. If you have sizing questions about these I can try and help, I obsessed about it sooo much.

Ugh I was so stressed about sizing too, I got the pink ones they came today I hope they fit. I was in between needing a 4 or 5 and they don’t have the pastels in 4’s 😭

I love this lilac! Now I’ve got some eyes on boardwalks 😂

What wheels are those? I love the green!

ericaveeOP•

Thanks! They are the Sure-Grip Stardust sparkle wheels in blue, I’ve just had them since last June so they’ve yellowed a bit! This is what they looked like when they were new.pic

I would love them in the pink or another wheel in a periwinkle, but they are great wheels with a ton of life left in them, so I can’t really justify getting another set! But I’m growing to like the look of them with these skates ☺️

Just ordered green today!! So excited that I finally decided to pull the trigger. Now I just need to figure out what has to get changed/added as I am 100% new to this!

ericaveeOP•

Customizing your setup is half the fun! I recommend rolling on the stock setup for a bit, you’ll realize pretty quickly what needs changing. I already had some softer outdoor wheels and softer cushions, so I swapped them out as soon as I got them home.

Awesome! That’s super helpful to know!

I wish! So pretty 🥺😍😍 But they don’t come in my size :(

Noooooo! 💔

I was going to but they don't have my size :(

ericaveeOP•

You’re like the third person in this thread to say this, how upsetting!! I’m so sorry the size range for the fun colors is so limited.

It's okay, I just have tiny feet. 🧚🏻‍♀️

Loving the follow up posts after seeing your Boardwalk sizing post. They look so cute! Spent forever deciding between purple and black (ended up getting black).

Thank you! I’m really enjoying mine even after all the drama with the backstays, hope you like yours too!
