I am not satisfied with my k2s. The wheels disintegrated on me when skating on hot pavement. Two went out on the same skate!The other thing is, I really don't like the cushy boot. I want my skates to be firm against my legs. My rollerblades had a ratchet system which could tighten the boots well. The K2s don't and thus the feel is very sloppy and loose around my ankles. I will never buy K2s again.
