FR1 325

The shoe of the legendary freeride skate FR1, with very comfortable liner, is set atop of a tri-frame with 125 mm wheels, with a short wheel base. As such the inline skate stays agile. Everybody who tries the inline skate is surprised by its comfortable inner shoe. Some even say: "if it was not for the wheels, I would use it as a house shoe, it is that comfortable." The big wheels combined with the short wheel base makes it the ideal inline skate for who wants to ride long distances and wants to stay agile.

Strengths:

• Comfortable enough to ride with an entire night and then take the train home before sleeping. (true story, I even talked about it on instagram.) For people who aren't crazy, that means it's more than just comfortable enough for a couple of hours.
• Amazing ankle support. flexible enough even though its cuff is quite high, yet rigid enough to do a wheelie. If you think you might like slalom, this is a good start without going too specialized.
• Almost every part of it is replaceable. I can't even explain how awesome that is. You can even choose to replace your broken piece with a piece in a different colour.
• Great wheels for sliding. Not the best on the market, but most certainly one of the best that come directly on a skate.

Weaknesses:

• These aren't made for people with a high forefoot.
• The bigger wheels make it so you stand a lot higher. This is not recommended for people who just started skating.

Take the same size as your shoe size when choosing an FR1. This fits for most people.
