These were purchased as a replacement skate for my Salomon 80MM skates. Salomon stopped building skates in the US which means you can't get a replacement brake pad anymore. MAJOR bummer.Anyway, I purchased the EXO's and have too say they are great! The boot fits very well and true to size. I usually wear a 10.5, but the size 10 was perfect. The 78mm wheels were smaller than my 80mm ones, but I hardley noticed the difference. The skates roll very smooth and handling was very predictable.
I use my skates as a cross training activity for cross country skiing so they see use all year long, even in winter. The boots are warm when you wear a thicker sock, but nice and cool with a thinner sock in the spring/summer months. The only drawback were the stock wheels. Too soft and they did not last long. Consider upgrading to a hyper 78/82A hardness and you wil get a little more speed out of them.
