“The best kid’s skates you can buy!”
I bought the K2 Raider skates for my 6 year old daughter after looking tirelessly at what was offered for kids. I actually bought two other pairs, Roller Derby Coyote and Ultra Wheels Transformer. Both are good skates for the money (cheaper than K2, I would recommend the Coyote over the Ultra Wheels) but they don’t compare with the K2 Raider.
The K2 skate has a soft boot that is extremely well made. It has 70mm wheels and quality ABEC-3 bearings. The wheels spin freely and easily and are very quiet. The skate size is easy to adjust and very comfortable according to my daughter. She has been skating since she was four so I wanted a quality skate for her that would allow her to keep up with her nine year old sister. The K2 Raider fits the bill perfectly! And at this price, it simply cannot be beat!
I have a pair of Radical 90 skates. The plastic ratcheting strap somehow came off. Is there a way to replace it?
You can either order one from the parts section online, or take them back to a dealer to replace for you.
Thanks for posting my review! I like the skates so much that I just purchased a pair of K2 Raiders for my older daughter. K2 has earned my business. Happy Holidays!
