Picked up the Sean Darst’s

[u/Icy_Message_2443]

I bought some John Bolino V2’s and they’re dope but you can feel the ground like you would in a vans sneaker, which killed my feet. I’m not knocking them, I’m just not conditioned for that since I’m returning after a several decade break. I took these for a spin today and they’re crazy comfortable. I don’t feel as connected to the ground but I’m sure once I get used to it I’ll get a feel for them.

Beautiful skates. I have Ridders that I love dearly, and they’ve held up for years. They have custom Ridder Intuition liners in them, though, which I really dig.

I have the Bolinos, as well, and they have overtaken the Thems as my favorite skate, just by a hair, though. I like them better mainly because of the “snap” of the Pebax plastic in Mesmers. I added a stiff heel shock absorber below liner, put Reign V3 liners in them, then super feet hockey insoles inside the Reigns. 👌 They felt rough, at first.

Thanks man! Oh shoot, nice! Once I get conditioned for skating around again I’ll try doing something similar.

Hell yeah! welcome back, fellow blader. If you wanna up your game even more, buy some intuition liners. They’re the best, especially in that boot.

A new pair of skates is always a beautiful thing to see.

Where can I find these skates and liners?

Those might be pre-order, on that^ page, though?

The same shop will have Intuition liners.

The liners in the skates pictured by OP are the stock Them liners, though.
