I just ordered 2 pairs of these skates, as I wasn't sure what size I would need. I am returning BOTH of them however because of 1 huge problem with them, that isn't clearly documented anywhere.

If you are looking into these skates, you are most likely interested in them for the same reason that I was. The Fusion X5 skates are said to come with a 243mm frame, with a max wheel size of 80mm. The shorter frame is one of the defining characteristics that sets these skates apart from most fitness/recreational skates, as it allows for faster turns, and makes these skates a decent choice for freestyle and slalom skating.

The problem with this is that the skate does NOT come with a 243mm frame, as they should. The frame on this skate is a 273mm frame, which should be on the Fusion X7's.. not the X5's.

The frame that you actually get on these skates will take up to 90mm wheels, which is great if that's what you want, but is a problem if you are like me, and wanted these skates specifically for the shorter frame.

The boot, and skate, do feel very solid.. to the point that they are fairly difficult to get on and off. They are very well made, and very nice looking. I'm sure this would a great skate, if the frame size isn't an issue for you, so I am still giving it 4 stars.

I did want to post a warning about this however, as it is not mentioned anywhere in the description, or in the other reviews.
