So What’s Up With The New Remz Haffey 2.2 Skates?

Remz updated the rear lacing and it’s more durable and adds extra support.

New hot color design. Adding some color to the Haffey hands down makes it a better skate, ok, maybe that’s a lie but it does look pretty darn purdy. With a little red, white and black you’ve got the style to match the hot tricks you’ll be laying down.

High Resilience Construction (HR) This new construction is more durable offers the best support you can ask for while still having great control.

What's The Deal With The New Remz OS4 Nick Wood Edition?

The new Remz OS4 Nick Wood Edition is Nicks personal take on the OS4. Nick is an outgoing, fun and positive skater who embodies the fun aspect of the sport of aggressive skating. Nick added some personal touches to his skates which are basically the OS4 Remz skates.

Nick's OS4 offers  "keg" silver "party time" parts. These skates offer a unique look with all the great innovations of the OS4 skates. Offering a brand new open shell liner with Remz innovative Pocket Design allowing it to wrap around the boot and lock into place.

Alright, well are you excited now? Remz skates just keep getting better and better; if you have not tried a pair of Remz I think it's definitely worth a try. With a motto like "freedom of feet" how could you  not want to? Happy skating to all, get pumped up with the Nick Wood edit below.

From skate to skate you will find differences in liners, shock absorption, width, and padding which influences overall fit whether it is narrower, wider or pretty standard.  Instead of going through the exact fit of an aggressive skate which can be rather broad, in this guide we will be going by each brand and explaining how each brand will fit. There are many brands in aggressive skates so we will cover the brands which we carry on our site here in this guide.

General Sizing

Skateaggressive offers size charts on all the top brands of aggressive skates. Finding a basic size in comparison to your shoe size is as easy as taking a look at the size charts. This size correlation is great if you’re simply looking for a general fit. For those whom skate a bit more often or have a more distinct fit they are looking for we will delve deeper into the inner workings of each brand of aggressive skate here.

•    K2
•    Razors
•    Remedyz
•    Rollerblade
•    USD
•    Valo
•    Bladerunner

K2

K2 skates are great for the upper end recreational aggressive skater. Offering a more athletic shoe style fit. K2 skates fit the same as your standard shoe size and offer a standard width as well.  Skaters that like a lot of flex will enjoy K2 skates as they are softer and easy to flex. K2 aggressive skates don’t offer removable liners so you will not be able to replace with aftermarket liners.

Razors

Razor skates has a long line of skate models for beginners all the way up to professional grade skates. Razors skates will fit true to shoe size on all models except for the Cult models. In the Cult model skates it’s advised you take a ½ size larger than your standard shoe size. Razors offers two different liners in their aggressive skates from their standard Razor liner to the Jug liners offered in some models. There are some basic differences in the two different liners which is outlined below:

1.    Razor Liners: These liners are going to offer moderate padding with an athletic style fit. A wider toe box makes these liners fit great for all foot types from narrow to wide. Additional shock absorption can be easily added to take these liners to the next level.

2.    Jug Liners: Jug liners offer a fit that is going to feel more like a hug around your foot a bit tighter than a traditional Razors liner. These liners offer great support and offer protection for ankle and heel.

Remedyz

Remedyz or Remz skates are going to run about 1 full size smaller than your regular shoe size and offer a more padded liner and slightly narrower toe box. Remedyz have a lot of padding in the liners and will take some time to break in.

Rollerblade

Rollerblade skates are going to offer a normal width and length so it’s advised you order the same size as your standard shoe size. If you wear a size 10 shoe, go ahead and order a size 10 Rollerblade aggressive skate.

USD

USD skates run roughly one full size smaller than traditional shoe size. When ordering a USD aggressive skate it is suggested you get one full size larger than your shoe size, so if you wear a size 9 in a shoe get a USD skate in a size 10.  USD skates also run a little on the narrower side so if you have a wider foot it may be better to look at different brands to accommodate.

Valo

Valo skates run pretty small. They are a bit narrower and will need to be ordered one size to one and a ½ sizes larger. So if you wear a size 10 it is advised to go with a size 11 or even 11 ½ depending on the fit you desire.

Bladerunner

Bladerunner skates are going to fit about the same as your standard shoe size. These skates are made for beginners and offer limited padding making them fit more like a shoe. Great for learning but if you’re an advanced skater these are not going to offer the durability, padding or protection you will want.

WRS or World Rolling Series has unleashed a new contest in a format that is new to Rollerblading as it’s an all online contest voted on by fans.
