Thanks, I was considering buying these, but now I will wait and try a pair first. Maybe there will be a model with really fast bearigs, those big wheels should haul ass, they look to me like a great distance skate, maybe even a good city skate, I wonder how durable they are, and how well they do on long flights of stairs, or skating backwards.

I sent mine back. I was not very impressed. They’re unique, but not for me. I much prefer my traditional inline skates. Nick and Hunter’s comments are spot on.

So in doing some research on the Landrollers, I came across your blog. Since this review was posted some time ago, what I am curious to know is if your opinion has changed. Have they grown on you at all, or do they gather dust in the corner of the closet? I am finding it difficult to ignore the siren song of all those positive reviews on the Landroller website. Do you still say to steer clear?

i just got these stupid Landrollers at the tune of $284.00 including shipping. What a waste of money. yeah, I get looks and oohs and ahs but there speed is awful, acceleration worse and the boot is – well I had to go up to size 12 after a NIGHTMARE attempt to exchange them with their “customer service” one man show “James ka”. The size 12 of course is a 1/4″ too big and the next size down was unbearably too small. My dog out runs me in these skates – runs ahead on the leash. As a side note – I returned the first skate and they said they had no record of me printing out a return label and therefore – AFTER – I shipped it back they said there was “nothing we can do”. I, like an idiot thought I printed out the tracking number but I had only kept in my email which was inadvertently deleted. So “they’ were TOTAL dicks about the return until I threatened to report them to BBB and the D.A. for consumer fraud. FUCK LANDROLLER. Their skate sucks, their service is non-existent. Maybe a conversation starter with a chic if your on the boardwalk but if you have to resort to that then you could just wear a cool hat and work on your pick up skills. DONT BUY THEM.

i have to agree with PhragMunkee i weighed the landrollers and they weigh almost 4lbs more than my hockey skates(total weight of both skates). but they are unique i didnt get a block from my home when a perfect stranger stopped to ask me about them and then a super hot woman approached me about the skates also, not too bad. would i recommend them? if you want to try something new? go for it. if you want a superior product? then dont. would i buy the next generation or the landrollers 2.0? only if they had a better boot, an aluminum blade and some real laces.
