Description: These skates are a little too wide for my narrow size 11. They're also a little too long even though they are size 11. So if you're an 11 medium or wide, or if you're a 12, there's a good chance that these will be a nice snug fit which is absolutely necessary for inline skating. These retail for $299 and are brand new, only worn on carpet to test the fit. Here's a complete description:Powerslide Swell 100 Inline Skates - Glacier Lake 3D ADAPT.Revolutionary new 3D ADAPT (3DAP) padding technology from MYFIT allowed for changes in design to include integrated air vents and channels for breathability and additional cushioning at the ankle, tongue, and innersole. Made from casted polyurethane, 3DAP molds perfectly around the feet for a level of control and comfort not felt before. The seamless padding doesn't break down or lose function like traditional padding. Other updates include semi-clear and abrasion-resistant uppers and cuff spacers that allow for the cuffs to adjust up or down to skater preference. These amazing design features are built around the popular TRINITY 3-point mounting system. The winged mount under the ball of the foot creates a channel for the wheels to lower the center of gravity, add stability, and increase power transfer. 3x100 is quick to get up and down from speed and has better agility than larger wheel versions. This makes them easier to skate and able to perform well when doing strenuous straight-line cross-training, or when needing maneuverability to navigate curvy or tighter locations. Elite Aluminum Frames, Swell 100mm 85A Wheels, and Wicked ABEC7 bearings. The frame length is short and agile but longer on larger sizes for the best skating experience. SpecificationsKEY TECHNOLOGIES3D Adapt PaddingReplaced traditional stitching methods with multiple layers of foam padding, with casted polyurethane. Sections are instead constructed with different density PU's. A harder anatomically designed bottom shape for support, and a softer PU ankle and tongue padding for comfort. Doesn't break down like regular padding for better value and allowed for features such as integrated ventilation channels and built-in lacing.Trinity X MountingThe combination of the 'along' mounting block of the boot with the 'across' mounting slot of the frame. This allows for frame adjustment both laterally (7mm) and front to back (8mm) to individual preference and/or to correct ankles from wanting to roll (pronation/supination). Trinity frames mount at three points with two off-set winged mounts under the ball of the foot that creates a channel for the wheels to lower the skate, adding stability and power at push-off. 3D Casted FramesPerfectly shaped around the wheels to optimize the space. 3D construction enhances stiffness and power transfer to offer characteristics similar to those found in CNC machined frames.
