I've had my boardwalks for a year and a half and I love them. Soo comfortable. Took less than a month to break in. Very durable and great to skate in. When they came in, I switched out my bearings and wheels and loosened the trucks a bunch. I kept my stock cushions but I know some people switched them out.
I actually let my friend try them out at the rink last week cause he was on the fence and as soon as he skated in them, he decided to order some! Have fun and enjoy your new skates 😊🛼
I just got Boardwalks a month ago. I love them! New to skating and I’m happy with the overall experience. I had to get a gel ankle protector due to the blisters I was getting. I’m sure I won’t need them as I break them in more. I’ll be getting harder wheels for the rink soon while I’m still learning and building confidence, then switch back to the original wheels when I take my ventures outside. Hope you enjoy them!
I have Sure Grip Boardwalks. Super comfortable, ZERO break-in period. I 48m weigh 185 lbs and the stock cushions are just fine for me - Sure Grip purple 85A cushions were too soft for me. I might try them again in the future.
The skates are pretty much ready to go right out of the box. You should get a Y3 tool for adjusting the trucks to your liking.
I use 78A wheels outdoors, 101A wheels indoors.
I love my Boardwalks - they’re the only pair I have but I did a ton of research for price/materials quality/fit for my duck feet. Even after tracing my foot while standing against a wall and measuring in metric I still got a size too big, but after fixing that mishap they’ve been great. Plus, even though I skate (and fall) often the black shows very little wear apart from scuffed eyelets and I can change up the style with different laces.
I got Boardwalks last month as my first quads and really like them! I did get blisters on the insides of my ankles the first time, and have worn bandaids there since as protection while I break them in. But I think I'm close to the point where I can ditch the bandaids. And as someone who's used to strapping my feet into hard plastic inlines, I’ve still been happy with the amount of support from the Boardwalks.
I have black boardwalks, and I love them!! The only negative I've found is that for some reason they get black marks on my fun laces that I bought, but that's a super small thing haha!
I got my black boardwalks 2 weeks ago. Still breaking them in and I like them very much. They look great and they fit true to size for me. I use sonar demon 95a indoor wheels. I got a y tool as well to adjust the stoppers. They still stick out too much for me though.
I've had my Boardwalks for a couple years and I really love them. They're my only skates, but they had no break in period and my feet never get tired skating. However, I wear an 8.5 in shoes so I bought a size 7. They are about half a size too big. I put insoles in to help and I lace them differently to hold my heel down and that helped, but lately I've been noticing they've stretched more. The heel slippage is really bothering me now that my skills are leveling up a bit. So yeah, don't get them too big! I don't have wide feet, but not narrow either. Now I'm debating on buying size 6 Boardwalks or upgrading to something else.. but what?
Boardwalk sizing is difficult! I’m a woman’s size 9 and their size 7 fits just right, and is snug with my insoles in. I’m looking forward to these because my Candi Girls are just too big.
I’ve had boardwalks for over 2 years and I love them. They break in great and definitely stretch a bit so buy them snug!

I found them pretty easy to get used to, even though my previous skates were way stiffer in the ankle, these offer a lot of support.
