my DREAM would be darker colours. I absolutely LOVE the Moxi Lollys, and the addition of the black Lollys honestly were a dream come true... But I think for us more gothically inclined it would be great to have darker lollies with black heels instead of brown. Like a beautiful indigo/dark green addition with a black heel! Absolute dream.
Yea I want more androgynous options, I love the lollies and how comfortable they are but I want to feel badass in them lol girly things personally dont make me feel badass. And in a beach area they fit in but I'm in a woodsy area where the entire beach bunny line would put a huge spotlight on me I dont want lol
Ah the fabric and colors usually used to make: Ben Davis/Dickies (pants) and military/army uniforms. I like the color shades in green camouflage, brown camo, and grey camo (the print too).
I know, I would! I’m trying to learn but my feet hurt. I’ve bought a size up in another brand and they still take a toll on my feet 😬 no one makes good wide foot skates. No one.
iamjaleezalove wide-foot skater here. Have you tried the Sure-Grip Fame skates? I’m an 11W in women’s shoes, which is a 10 in those skates and they are fantastic. At first, I was considering the Moxi brand but then I saw that I’d have to pay extra for wide skates so, nah on that. The Fames are hella comfy and customizable.
I think a “ Build a Bunny” option should be available! Reason being, with the jack and the lolly, they’re way more customizable. And I think the bunnies are adorable. I just think allowing people to choose their bunny color wheel and laces should be an option! Especially because bunny wheels aren’t sold separately. Also because on the lolly you can pick different wheels as you purchase them! Just an idea!! #BuildABunny!
I think the only problem with this is that the beach bunnies are imported i think from Cambodia. Whereas the jack and lolly are made in the US in an assembly line fashion. So they don't have as much room to customize a beach bunny
This would be so cool! If I could have, I would’ve ordered one watermelon and one pink lemonade in a set, or just had the yellow skates with green laces and wheels. They’d probably be more expensive though, as they’re imported.
would love a quiz on the site to help customers pick the right skate for them! im a beginner with wide feet looking to outdoor skate and i'm having trouble picking a skate
The Beach Bunnies should be fine for you! I have wide feet and I have those. I'm not a beginner, but I'm also not an expert at skating. I have my derby skates for indoor skating, but I found the Beach Bunnies work fine for outdoor skating! They are cheap too which is great, especially for beginners. Pros: -The wheels are great for outdoor skating, slim so they don't catch a bunch of rocks, but soft so they roll over the cracks. -The boot is comfortable and easy to tighten or loosen as needed. -Cushioned on the inside so comfy for beginners. -Cute skates, get lots of compliments, and made of a vegan material if that's important to you. Cons: -The toe stop is tiny so if you need to use it for climbing up a ramp or up a hill of some kind, or to go down a hill backwards while dragging your toe stop, that can be a pain. I'm buying a larger toe stop that I use for derby just for my outdoor skates. -The wheels kind of drag no matter how loose the nut is. I'm going to replace the ball bearings to see if that helps. -I have heard from more experienced skaters that the plate is heavier than the more expensive models. I personally don't notice yet, nor do I mind at the moment because I figure it strengthens my legs and it's not like I'm doing anything crazy. To reiterate, I'm sort of upgrading them by giving them a new toe stop and new ball bearings. I might get better outdoor wheels later on too. That being said, they are good for a beginner looking for a discount and can be upgraded slightly later. Size-wise: My feet, again, are wide. They run between a 10.5 and 11 for size. So, for the Beach Bunnies, I got a size 10 (equals an 11-11.5 in shoes). Hope that makes sense!
Ginger Jessie Talks this helps so much as i’m currently trying to figure out which ones to get. I’ve never skated at ALL so this helps choose but i’m still confused about the shoe size. When you say 11-11.5 is that in men’s shoe size or women’s shoe size?
The only way to "improve" - as far as I can see - would be to offer the wheels (and laces) on ALL of the skates separately. Would LOVE to get the Periwinkle Beach Bunny, but have the Watermelon wheels and laces. Also some various colors of MOXI toe stops...round, hearts, stars, more colors of the brake petals...I don't care about the shape, but trying to find ones that truly MATCH a Moxi skate is difficult, if not impossible. Would LOVE to see a green stop that matched the Watermelon Bunny's wheels and laces or a purple stop to match the Periwinkle Bunny's boot. It would complete my purple and green obsession perfectly...without having to get 2 pairs of skates and spending a ton trying to find the "right" color stop to complete the look. All of my skates have a theme and I like to keep as close to that theme as possible.
@@-cole-lxun-666-4 Yeah, usually I just dye my wheels...and sometimes laces, too. It's not a difficult process, in and of itself, but getting an exact match is still hard. Toe stops are another issue. Very few can truly be dyed as it's a different compound than the wheels. I love doing it, but it would be a lot easier if they were already made. LOL
@@toryjaeger8557 None of the skates I use are stock. I've probably got more invested in wheels, laces, stops, and cushions than I do in all of my skates themselves. Well, thanks to the two shoe builds...maybe not. LOL
My Lollys were the best investment I’ve ever made. They are so comfortable, well made and forgiving for beginning skaters. I feel so confident in them.
I just bought moxi Lolly skates as my first skates! I used to skate when I was younger so I'm hoping I still have the technique down, but it's my first outdoor skate
I would agree. I was not a beginner. But i'm almost 55 years old and I was buying my first pair of dream roller skates. My first roller skates had metal wheels. I bought my Moxi Lollys at a roller rink in off of Whidbey Island, WA called Skagit Skate. The rink owners wife had custom ordered them and changed her mind. I bought them then and there and wore them that night. My feet weren't sore and like you said, there was no break in period. They were beautiful! I absolutely love them. I have never regretted purchasing them ever. Love love love them.
Estrojen looks so happy talking about all the skates. Makes me trust this brand so much. I have the jungles and my next pair will be Panthers. Can't wait❤️
Erendira Landa-Godinez they're so amazing! They're a little stiff but I appreciate that because I'm still a beginner and I get that support I need around my ankles. I had Impalas before but they were not great at all! The jungles are definitely a good buy.
I got myself a beach bunny a year or two ago and can I say the ankle support is superb from someone with not the strongest of ankles. They are cute, I am always getting compliments on them. I am dishing 70's vibes every time I skate down the street, I am all around the happiest with the Moxi brand and definitely will be getting myself a lolly once I save up! thank you Estrogen!
I just got my beach bunny’s the other day- have been skating everyday since!! And I am currently saving up so when I am ready to upgrade to the Lollys, I can!!
Trying a different set of wheels will also completely change the experience and feel of the glide. Try Fundae ones for an outdoor faster experience or trick wheels for a smooth agile feel indoors.
Kristine K I ordered from derby werahouse 4/14/2020 got them today 4/22/2020 🤭 I didn’t have to pay shipping their policy is 99$ and up get free shipping
As a newbie, I just wanna say I adore all of the advice being offered here. I’m just cruising lately but I’m stoked to get into the park and start learning tricks. The advice on wheel density was totally new and helpful to me
Omg omg omg!!! I combed and combed and scoured the internet for two weeks!! And I FINALLY found a pair of Panthers in my size !! I swear it must have been THE ONLY one left lol....I’m so super stoked !!! I get them next week! They’re so beautiful
Am I the only one that wishes Estro could be my skate mom? All the tips and confidence I need when skating lol I enjoy skating so much but I just can’t get rid of the fear of getting badly injured 🥺
I've tried almost all models *except for Panther, and they're totally worth it!! I fell in love with Moxi while using my Jungles, you can tell the products are made for a skaters' need, and I love the passion Moxi delivers in every single product, their great quality is worth it 💕
I just purchased my first pair of Moxie. Beach Bunnies haven’t been on skates in about 15-20 years. I put them on and started rolling. I have a bunch of friends now thinking about getting a pair and I asked to support the Moxie brand even my BF. Thank you 😘🛼 love them.
I’ve had my beach bunnies for almost a year and I’m getting ready to start out on ramps with them. It’ll be awesome to transfer to the panthers once I’m more comfortable and ready! I love this brand so much and planet roller skate. Skating has changed my life for the better🥺🖤
It feels like there is a huge gap in the market for older / senior /returning / beginner skaters. I’m only now realizing, after searching endlessly that all the information directed at beginner skaters ASSUME we have skate park goals. I don’t know what is best for a beginner , senior, who wants to skate mostly outside - for easy cruising fitness and maybe change wheels to go to the rink sometimes. No info anywhere. But in the skating group… tons of seniors. We are here. I ordered the panthers before I saw this.. primarily bc it said 1. Wide feet and kind of like better but not the best. Good for ankle support. I REALLY have no idea what I am doing but I have research a ton.. but have found nothing really specific to my needs. Hoping for the best. But if your asking what we want to see, I think a lot of senior and simple fitness enthusiasts would love how to information. Thank you.
Hi from Perth Western Australia Michelle I absolutely love your passion and playfulness , but most of all what draws me to your skate channel is the intellectual / spiritual and emotional depth you portray. My decision to start skating almost 3 year's ago was made on a whim, but deep inside my soul i almost feel like something guided me to skate. From there my health - both mental and physical health improved beyond my expectations... Even developed some character lol - boring old middle aged fat dude doin nothing except existing,,,,,,,,, to skate park bomber now. My bont's have done some seriously hard work and I've loved every second... Please keep these video's coming Michelle
Love the outtakes in the beginning - hilarious! You're actually really great on camera! Thank you for explaining the differences in the boots, plates & wheels. I hope to have those red Lollys one day ❤ I'm still skating on my roller derby Bonts (flat, no heel), even outside/on ramps, and it's not ideal because they're falling apart lol! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and passion with us 🌈🎵🐇
As a beginner skater, I was overwhelmed with all the different types of skates out there....This was very informative and helped me pick a skate (Panther Boot).....now if only they would come back in stock....Thank you
My Lolly's are still going strong 3 years now, I am going to get the Jack boots once I can afford it, they are designed with so many sincere details! Thank you for such a great influence on skating, culture and the breakdown of all these skates~
I bow down to you for making these amazing skates. I 💜💚💙them so much that I have 3 pairs of Lollys in 3 different colors. You are a GENIUS. You’ve changed my life in more ways than I can possibly thank you for. You are an incredible person and I’m grateful every day.
Hi, I'm from the Philippines and I just wanted to say that you along with the other moxi girls have been such a big inspiration to me. I have been following you guys since 2017 and I really believe in your vision about roller skating. Back here in the Philippines roller skating is basically dead, though there are some brands that provide quad skates they aren't as good a the skates put out by your brand. If I could get a hold of a pair of moxi skates I would like to revive the sport in my home country. I'm really rooting for your cause and I just want to thank you guys for continuously inspiring and doing the most for the sport. I wish the best luck for you all and keep up the great work!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I would love to see the Panther in a wide width the way the Lolly and Jack can be customized! I am not a plus size skater but it would benefit that demographic a well as me who simply has very wide feet. Thank you for all you do!
I’ve been roller skating inside my house on derby skates, and keep telling my hubby I need more support in my ankles. He’s finally told me that once this pandemic is over, and he’s back at work again, he’s going to buy me a new pair of Moxi’s! Come on pandemic! Be over already! 😄
I have experience in artistic skating and recently I have gone outdoors (due to covid ahah) but its made my love skating come back. I needed to update my boot so badly and purchased the black jack boot. I love them so much. They have the support my artistic skates gave me but the comfort of the jack boot is amazing.
I wish this video came up when I first searched for rollerskates to buy! I didn't mind the video being long because you actually covered many questions and gaps in information I have had as a new skater 💜
Please please PLEASE make a panther style skate with lolly colors 🙏🏼 I love the stiffness of it and the suede combination but need some bright colors in my life 💜
I just bought the Babyblue with Pink Laces Beach Bunny Skates Yesterday , im Still Learning How To Use Them But i Love Them. Seeing my rollerskates on this video makes me feel more happy that i got them😅😫💘🎀
Love my Moxi Lolli even more knowing the passion behind it. Thank you. So comfortable right out of the box, smooth and solid. Grateful to be part of this community.
I need the beach bunny with a green boot and pink laces! 😩 more colour options PLEASEEEEE!! I also love the build a bunny idea mentioned in other comments
Thank you so much - you just explained to me why I keep falling in my lolly and land with so much ease in my BB. I just ordered a panter b/c I think it's really the best of both worlds. So... Wheelbase. Lessons have been learned. :D
I'm curious if your Panthers came with the same size Marvel plate as your BBs? I love the wider wheel base of the Bunnies, too. My size 6 BBs have a 650 Marvel plate. I was surprised that my size 6 Panthers came with a 600 Marvel plate. 😔
Amen sister!! I will be buying a pair from you. What a coincidence, I literally just discovered your TH-cam videos this morning, immediately became obsessed and watched a bunch of roller skating videos & talked about skates all day, researched your website & wasn’t sure which pair to get bc I want to skate outdoors & learn to dance... and then you posted this video! Skate culture is going to take over the world, spread the word y’all!!! Love & Light, Jess St. Petersburg, Florida
Michelle Steilen aka Estro Jen I purchased a pair of beach bunny skates in periwinkle & a cute tee shirt. Can’t wait to start skate-dancing in the streets :)
Michelle Steilen aka Estro Jen I sooooo LOVE the legalize roller skating at the grocery store tee shirt but you only had size large available on your website... Please get more grocery skating shirts in size small (or extra-small)?! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 I want that shirt so bad! I live two blocks from my gravers store, I should totally be allowed to skate there, shop right quick, & then skate home with my groceries
A friend recently started renting a hall for a small group of us to skate with her...she has successfully inspired the 10 of us who consider our selves a skate crew now, complete with skate names(- mine is Dare Dream), and she also gave me a link to the Moxi Lollys- which I have just received my first pair of(I can already tell that one pair will probably not be enough!😆). I got the Lilac. I love them! I have been dealing with harsh life elements resulting in PTS, and skating has been a true therapy for me like no other! While I am skating, I am powerful and strong and beautiful in myself, and the motion puts my brain in a very relieving and relaxed place. I am so happy to have found Moxi, Thank you!
Definely got that you are not a camera person from your previous videos, but I very very grateful for this channel! So thank you so much for doing all this!!
I was going back and forth between the Lolly and the Beachbunny because I don't skate a lot (just getting back into it at 55!) but you sold me at USA made! So the Lolly it is! :) Thanks for the video. Very informative.
can't tell you how cool it is to see you, the founder, going over all the skates in your line, the thought behind them, the manufacturing, etc etc. and it really lets people know what they feel would be worth the upgrades or not vs blindly getting whatever. LOVE that some of the skates are american made and i know some people would absolutely pay more for that. or more for an upper that's got more longevity vs having to get new skates. this is FASCINATING. tbh i just purchased some panthers as they seemed to be really versitile and could also do skateparks. idk if i'll end up doing that but i like having the option. a good all-rounder lets you see what you're into and that to me is key. then you can upgrade to specialize. i also like that they are BLACK. because then you can just go wild with wheels (obsessed with clear ones, idk why) and laces and all that. i love leopard print though.... it feels a little weird in a skate? but it's changeable, there's options, LOVE IT. i hope they fit well. i was also obsessed with the green lolly as soon as i saw it but as a beginner on quads vs inlines.... i need to eval how i even like this style before getting more $ into it. decided to spend more than originally planned because having shoes of that pleather stuff or bad inlines... they either are hard and hurt constantly, OR the things crack and break apart. spending $60 on a disposable skate isn't very economical especially if you end up liking it. coulda just gone more $ in the beginning and ended up with something that's actually durable. was sort of tempted to do the watermelon bunnies (i kind of hate pink but the watermelon theme tickles my brain. and the green is uuuugh so beautiful.) but some people said the uppers didn't last and cracked and stuff within a month or a few months. i'd be pretty sad. and i just found the panthers on sale so it seems to me that i'd shell out an extra $20-30 for a higher longevity skate, i should just do that. PLUS, idk if i wanna be so high vis while learning 😂 my MAIN goal was skates i could dance on and do tight maneuvers and use my garage for that. so on days where it's raining and skateboarding isn't as feasible. or if it's late at night or whatever. and inlines aren't good for tight spaces. anyway THANK YOU. seeing this vid and your presentation basically made me choose your brand and stop waffling about. it's just that people kept saying this was all over social media and to me that isn't a badge of honor or mark of a good product necessarily and i had to look deeper. anyway, love your energy, enthusiasm and silliness! still watching the rest of the vid even though i already made the purchase. that says something. 😄
please please please bring out a vegan lolly range!!! i’m not a fan of the vegan jacks nor can i really afford them. the lollys are such a dream and i would love to get a pair but i just really can’t bring myself to wear suede. you’d be making so many people happy if you make vegan lollys!!
I would love purple with Princes floral design from Purple Rain. I know his estate is really tight with licensing. But he loved to skate so it may be something they would consider. I’m 52 and just now starting to skate again. This would be my dream skate. I’m trying to decide which pair to buy right now. Your videos are great!
Also, he was really big on women empowerment. If you know much of his history it might be a good selling point his estate. I can promise you they would sell like crazy. Y’all are already in Minnesota anyway right?
This was literally the review I’ve been looking for! About to move from Moxi Beach Bunnies and couldn’t decide which GH skates to go for - Magics or Diamonds. You mentioned you were deciding between the two - can you remember why you went for magics and not diamonds- I can’t really tell the difference! I’ll be getting the Vanguard plate for sure! Loved this video! Thank you!
Love that you did this, Estro Jen! I love my Lollies so much and they’re a great first pair of skates. I’m wondering why you didn’t highlight the Vegan Jack on here. I was eager to hear you compare it to the others. Thanks so much! Love and support your brand and movement always! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 🤍🖤
i've had my current skates (blue streaks on crazy venus plates) for years and years and the boots are just DONE. 5 seasons of derby and countless hours of rec skating and they can't take it anymore! now that i'm a retired derby skater i'm really thinking of springing for some moxies. might buy some soon so i can get back to outdoor skating during this quarantine...
Michelle H how are your jungle skates? Those are the ones I’m leaning more towards. I haven’t skated in years but used to be pretty good. Lol. I’m just getting the passion to get back into it.
I just ordered my new black on black Moxi Lolly’s and I can hardly wait till they get here! The CoVid-19 craziness has emptied the streets so I’m going to take advantage and get out on some skates. I’m 56, don’t let age stop you. Thanks for all your great videos to help me pick the best skates for what I want to do.
The beach bunnies are amazing for so many things! I used them to learn ramps and grind rails and theyre so supportive! I'm rough on my skates and they havent fallen apart or anything. A bit scuffed but i never clean them😂 they're kind of my beaters now since i got a pair of lollys💕 although im sort of wishing i would've just splurged for the jacks now because i want to be confident and stable jumping stairs and doing miller flips 😅. Either way i love both of my moxi skates💖💖💖
I'm so excited to get my Clementine Lolly skates ! It will be my very first pair of skates, other than the ones I had when I was little. Thank you so much for this vision of amazing skates ☺
Liza frank skates would be awesome and gorgeous! Or Disney skates, my favorite is tinkerbell. I love the 70s fashion but I was born in 85 so 80s colors and patterns would be fun!
This is why i love Estrojen. She is honest, she tells you the truth. I am going to order the moxi panthers. I like colours but black just goes with everything. Could swap the leashes, i am not a big animal print lover but, they look fun! Also i need ankle support, the lolly scares me and i can't afford them right now. God bless you Michelle and i love what you guys are doing 🙏
No need to apologize on not doing good on talking or the video! Girl your amazing! So gifted and talented! Thank you for making my most beautiful skates ever! I have the Jungle and I love it, I have 2 On my List 😍😍😘 Awesome Videos!!! Awesome Craftsmanship!
Thank you for ALL this information!! I’m an old girl trying to re-visit the most fun of my youth. With all the changes & improvements general skate dynamics (oh my GOD, fast wheels!), I desperately needed this lesson!! You did an awesome job covering all the things 😊. You also have great stage-fright-recovery! 😃 Cheers!
Just got my Lolly‘s Friday. I Got the Lolly so my roller derby skates wouldn’t get ruined by trail skating. I like a bigger toe stop so I did replace the stock one for the gumball superball. I love how these skates feel. I wear Antik AR1’s for roller derby so the Lolly is just as supportive on my ankles. I have the Bont Athena plate on my Antik’s but don’t mind the powerdine plate on the Lolly. It’s super light compared to my derby skate. I hope to go for a long skate tomorrow to really test the Lolly out. I do love the comfort so far and I love how secure my heels feel without the pinch and blister causing rub some skates have. I skated for years as a kid and quit for about 20 years before derby came into my life. I’m still kind of a novice skater right now but I hope the Lolly helps me out. Maybe one day I’ll upgrade to the Jack boot.
Thank you for making this video. I watched this video twice and before deciding on which skates would best fit me. I just ordered the beach bunny skates in watermelon
I wish you offered Lollys with the Marvel plate! I know that the Panther is a fine substitute, but I love the colors of the Lolly but would want a more durable plate, especially if I'm paying $300+. Moxi rules, keep making great products!
They do offer Lollys with metal plates! When you customize a Lolly, you can get whatever Powerdyne plate you want. 2 nylon (one is reinforced with fiberglass) and 2 metal.
I wear barefoot shoes - I remember rollerblading in year five. I am really keen to get back into skating. I'm nervous about putting my toes into a small footbox again, as barefoot shoes have really helped my knees/ankles/legs/back heal themselves... It could be really dope to create a skate for barefoot runners/barefoot shoe wearers! I also just really enjoyed watching this video and listening to you. When I can afford a pair of skates, I'm 85% sure I'll be coming back to y'all. So thank you!
So a good starting park skate would be the panters? i'm actually cruising on my candigirl but i wish to upgrade to a good beginer skate park skate quality/price wise!
Wheels are the key. Candi's are fine for skate parks. It's up to you if you wan to invest further, of course, but other than a wheel change, it's not *needed*.
All of them beside th eJack are recommended as starter skates. Jack's price is more for the SURE INVESTOR. Our entire skate line is made for the all-purpose skater.
the Candi Girls are okay for park skating! I used them in the streets and park for almost a year. Just get park wheels. It's up to you but I think you should just save for a Jack or Lolly
Wow thanks for the video even though you hate being on camera, Estro! I love that you went into the purpose of the heel of the boot and the the "Why's" of everything!
my DREAM would be darker colours. I absolutely LOVE the Moxi Lollys, and the addition of the black Lollys honestly were a dream come true... But I think for us more gothically inclined it would be great to have darker lollies with black heels instead of brown. Like a beautiful indigo/dark green addition with a black heel! Absolute dream.
Ooooh! An all black moxi🖤! How sexy that would be!!!!! And maybe an option of having that black heel for any of the colors!! 😍🖤🖤🖤
Dark green would be killer that’s what I wish I could have the option to buy. I just got the all black :/
Yea I want more androgynous options, I love the lollies and how comfortable they are but I want to feel badass in them lol girly things personally dont make me feel badass. And in a beach area they fit in but I'm in a woodsy area where the entire beach bunny line would put a huge spotlight on me I dont want lol
Speaking of woodsy, I always thought it would be cool (especially with the black) if the lining be a plaid print like a flannel shirt!
Ah the fabric and colors usually used to make: Ben Davis/Dickies (pants) and military/army uniforms. I like the color shades in green camouflage, brown camo, and grey camo (the print too).
I know a lot of people would love a wide fit Moxi skate ♥️
I know, I would! I’m trying to learn but my feet hurt. I’ve bought a size up in another brand and they still take a toll on my feet 😬 no one makes good wide foot skates. No one.
@@iamjaleezalove856 try the Riedell Zone on plate of your choosing
I've heard from Indy Jamma Jones that the suede moxis would mold to your feet. so it would still be comfortable for wide feet
iamjaleezalove wide-foot skater here. Have you tried the Sure-Grip Fame skates? I’m an 11W in women’s shoes, which is a 10 in those skates and they are fantastic. At first, I was considering the Moxi brand but then I saw that I’d have to pay extra for wide skates so, nah on that. The Fames are hella comfy and customizable.
bxrosie04 yeah buying the sure grips is a pretty close second to the lollys i love them jus wish there were more colors
I think a “ Build a Bunny” option should be available! Reason being, with the jack and the lolly, they’re way more customizable. And I think the bunnies are adorable. I just think allowing people to choose their bunny color wheel and laces should be an option! Especially because bunny wheels aren’t sold separately. Also because on the lolly you can pick different wheels as you purchase them! Just an idea!! #BuildABunny!
Spicy Ramen yes!!
That is super cute!! I would love to see this! ♥︎
Yes!! I would love to pick my own colors for all the things too.
I think the only problem with this is that the beach bunnies are imported i think from Cambodia. Whereas the jack and lolly are made in the US in an assembly line fashion. So they don't have as much room to customize a beach bunny
This would be so cool! If I could have, I would’ve ordered one watermelon and one pink lemonade in a set, or just had the yellow skates with green laces and wheels. They’d probably be more expensive though, as they’re imported.
would love a quiz on the site to help customers pick the right skate for them! im a beginner with wide feet looking to outdoor skate and i'm having trouble picking a skate
Hey I’m the exact same! Did you settle on a skate?
This is a great idea
same here! any luck in choosing?
The Beach Bunnies should be fine for you! I have wide feet and I have those. I'm not a beginner, but I'm also not an expert at skating. I have my derby skates for indoor skating, but I found the Beach Bunnies work fine for outdoor skating! They are cheap too which is great, especially for beginners.
Pros:
-The wheels are great for outdoor skating, slim so they don't catch a bunch of rocks, but soft so they roll over the cracks.
-The boot is comfortable and easy to tighten or loosen as needed.
-Cushioned on the inside so comfy for beginners.
-Cute skates, get lots of compliments, and made of a vegan material if that's important to you.
Cons:
-The toe stop is tiny so if you need to use it for climbing up a ramp or up a hill of some kind, or to go down a hill backwards while dragging your toe stop, that can be a pain. I'm buying a larger toe stop that I use for derby just for my outdoor skates.
-The wheels kind of drag no matter how loose the nut is. I'm going to replace the ball bearings to see if that helps.
-I have heard from more experienced skaters that the plate is heavier than the more expensive models. I personally don't notice yet, nor do I mind at the moment because I figure it strengthens my legs and it's not like I'm doing anything crazy.
To reiterate, I'm sort of upgrading them by giving them a new toe stop and new ball bearings. I might get better outdoor wheels later on too. That being said, they are good for a beginner looking for a discount and can be upgraded slightly later.
Size-wise: My feet, again, are wide. They run between a 10.5 and 11 for size. So, for the Beach Bunnies, I got a size 10 (equals an 11-11.5 in shoes). Hope that makes sense!
Ginger Jessie Talks this helps so much as i’m currently trying to figure out which ones to get. I’ve never skated at ALL so this helps choose but i’m still confused about the shoe size. When you say 11-11.5 is that in men’s shoe size or women’s shoe size?
The purity in this video is appreciated
Thanks Lizwiz :)
I love how realistic she is about every skate and their quality. Instead of trying to push all of her products.
The only way to "improve" - as far as I can see - would be to offer the wheels (and laces) on ALL of the skates separately. Would LOVE to get the Periwinkle Beach Bunny, but have the Watermelon wheels and laces. Also some various colors of MOXI toe stops...round, hearts, stars, more colors of the brake petals...I don't care about the shape, but trying to find ones that truly MATCH a Moxi skate is difficult, if not impossible. Would LOVE to see a green stop that matched the Watermelon Bunny's wheels and laces or a purple stop to match the Periwinkle Bunny's boot. It would complete my purple and green obsession perfectly...without having to get 2 pairs of skates and spending a ton trying to find the "right" color stop to complete the look. All of my skates have a theme and I like to keep as close to that theme as possible.
Thanks for all these great tips! Check out your recommendations come to life soon!
- Cole-Lxun-666 - you can obviously switch the wheels it just sucks to have to spend another $60 on top of the $150 to get the color you want :/
@@-cole-lxun-666-4 Yeah, usually I just dye my wheels...and sometimes laces, too. It's not a difficult process, in and of itself, but getting an exact match is still hard. Toe stops are another issue. Very few can truly be dyed as it's a different compound than the wheels. I love doing it, but it would be a lot easier if they were already made. LOL
@@toryjaeger8557 None of the skates I use are stock. I've probably got more invested in wheels, laces, stops, and cushions than I do in all of my skates themselves. Well, thanks to the two shoe builds...maybe not. LOL
I work at Sonic, want to start skating and I'm still going back and fourth on which wheels to choose.
My Lollys were the best investment I’ve ever made. They are so comfortable, well made and forgiving for beginning skaters. I feel so confident in them.
@lil' dumpling Did you ever get your skates in? I have wide feet and want to make sure they will fit ok before I spend that much money on them.
i just ordered some but im kinda worried about ankle support, is it ok tho do u feel secure?
My first skate to buy as a “beginner” roller skater was the Moxi Lolly. Best investment EVER! Thank You 🙏🏾
Thank you for saying so! You are so welcome. When you make something for yourself you're bound to please looking for the same things!
I just bought moxi Lolly skates as my first skates! I used to skate when I was younger so I'm hoping I still have the technique down, but it's my first outdoor skate
Got it as my first pair too! So excited to try it out
I would agree. I was not a beginner. But i'm almost 55 years old and I was buying my first pair of dream roller skates. My first roller skates had metal wheels.
I bought my Moxi Lollys at a roller rink in off of Whidbey Island, WA called Skagit Skate. The rink owners wife had custom ordered them and changed her mind. I bought them then and there and wore them that night. My feet weren't sore and like you said, there was no break in period. They were beautiful! I absolutely love them. I have never regretted purchasing them ever. Love love love them.
kittykixbootie that’s awesome! I’m 51 and I want a pair of the Moxi skates. I can’t wait to order a pair!
Estrojen looks so happy talking about all the skates. Makes me trust this brand so much. I have the jungles and my next pair will be Panthers. Can't wait❤️
Cynthia Maradiaga how do you like the jungle??
Erendira Landa-Godinez they're so amazing! They're a little stiff but I appreciate that because I'm still a beginner and I get that support I need around my ankles. I had Impalas before but they were not great at all! The jungles are definitely a good buy.
When Michelle talk about skates she give us confidence and make us trust in her, moxi are the best!
Skating makes me so happy and makes me happy to see others enjoying it as much as I do. Life couldn't be better while on roller skates, y'know?!
Came here to comment pretty much everything you’ve said word for word. It’s so obvious that Moxi is her lifeblood and I’m proud to skate this brand.
I got myself a beach bunny a year or two ago and can I say the ankle support is superb from someone with not the strongest of ankles. They are cute, I am always getting compliments on them. I am dishing 70's vibes every time I skate down the street, I am all around the happiest with the Moxi brand and definitely will be getting myself a lolly once I save up! thank you Estrogen!
I just got my beach bunny’s the other day- have been skating everyday since!! And I am currently saving up so when I am ready to upgrade to the Lollys, I can!!
Trying a different set of wheels will also completely change the experience and feel of the glide. Try Fundae ones for an outdoor faster experience or trick wheels for a smooth agile feel indoors.
Michelle Steilen aka Estro Jen Which wheels are best for dance-skating outdoors? I have beach bunny’s as well
I was Egyptian in a Past Life I would recommend soft wheels and a nylon plate
When did you order them? I ordered mine three weeks ago almost and they haven’t been sent yet.😔
Kristine K I ordered from derby werahouse 4/14/2020 got them today 4/22/2020 🤭 I didn’t have to pay shipping their policy is 99$ and up get free shipping
As a newbie, I just wanna say I adore all of the advice being offered here. I’m just cruising lately but I’m stoked to get into the park and start learning tricks. The advice on wheel density was totally new and helpful to me
Speaking with passion from the heart makes any presentation so much better than those slick talking suit car salesmen. 👍❤️
My friends and I just bought ourselves our own moxi skates. Cannot wait to dive into skating with my gal pals (:
Omg omg omg!!! I combed and combed and scoured the internet for two weeks!! And I FINALLY found a pair of Panthers in my size !! I swear it must have been THE ONLY one left lol....I’m so super stoked !!! I get them next week! They’re so beautiful
Am I the only one that wishes Estro could be my skate mom? All the tips and confidence I need when skating lol I enjoy skating so much but I just can’t get rid of the fear of getting badly injured 🥺
If your scared, take a deep breath in and out and just like the famous meme said, " JUST DO IT!"
Skate si-star for me!
Just ordered my Panther!!! I'm so excited!!
I've tried almost all models *except for Panther, and they're totally worth it!! I fell in love with Moxi while using my Jungles, you can tell the products are made for a skaters' need, and I love the passion Moxi delivers in every single product, their great quality is worth it 💕
Thank you Yorely! We are SO proud to have you skating Moxi :)
Which is a beginner skate, the Lolly or beach bunny? Thx
I just purchased my first pair of Moxie. Beach Bunnies haven’t been on skates in about 15-20 years. I put them on and started rolling. I have a bunch of friends now thinking about getting a pair and I asked to support the Moxie brand even my BF. Thank you 😘🛼 love them.
I just got my first pair of roller skates as a gift (they're not Moxi's) and I CANNOT wait until I can upgrade to a Lolly!!!
Y'all should look into mushroom leather for like a vegan suede!!!
Yes! A sustainable vegan version. I'm starting to truly hate the PVC material since it's extremely bad for the environment
Yessssssss this would be amazing
@@xVanillaxBerryx not to mention bad for humans there’s so many toxic chemicals in pvc that have been linked to cancer and illnesses in general
Yessss boosting this!! That is the big issue to think about with synthetic materials and it would be amazing to use more sustainable materials
How's that gonna hold up in humid environments like Washington and Oregon?
I’ve had my beach bunnies for almost a year and I’m getting ready to start out on ramps with them. It’ll be awesome to transfer to the panthers once I’m more comfortable and ready! I love this brand so much and planet roller skate. Skating has changed my life for the better🥺🖤
It feels like there is a huge gap in the market for older / senior /returning / beginner skaters. I’m only now realizing, after searching endlessly that all the information directed at beginner skaters ASSUME we have skate park goals. I don’t know what is best for a beginner , senior, who wants to skate mostly outside - for easy cruising fitness and maybe change wheels to go to the rink sometimes. No info anywhere. But in the skating group… tons of seniors. We are here. I ordered the panthers before I saw this.. primarily bc it said 1. Wide feet and kind of like better but not the best. Good for ankle support. I REALLY have no idea what I am doing but I have research a ton.. but have found nothing really specific to my needs. Hoping for the best. But if your asking what we want to see, I think a lot of senior and simple fitness enthusiasts would love how to information. Thank you.
Nobody has to be perfect! You're doing a great job! Your explanations of all the models are very clear. Keep it up!
Thank you for explaining each model! I got the beach bunnies in strawberry lemonade! I can't wait! 😍🍓🍋
About to put Moxi to the test. Waiting for my Beach Bunnies to come in, & I’m so excited!! 😬🥰
Check out the Live lessons we have, too!
Same!!! I’m so excited to get them in the mail 💛💛
Hi from Perth Western Australia Michelle
I absolutely love your passion and playfulness , but most of all what draws me to your skate channel is the intellectual / spiritual and emotional depth you portray. My decision to start skating almost 3 year's ago was made on a whim, but deep inside my soul i almost feel like something guided me to skate. From there my health - both mental and physical health improved beyond my expectations...
Even developed some character lol - boring old middle aged fat dude doin nothing except existing,,,,,,,,, to skate park bomber now.
My bont's have done some seriously hard work and I've loved every second...
Please keep these video's coming Michelle
WA🏜️♥️
I started skating last February at the age of 51, and I feel the same way. Skating is my happy place, it just feels so good.
Love the outtakes in the beginning - hilarious! You're actually really great on camera! Thank you for explaining the differences in the boots, plates & wheels. I hope to have those red Lollys one day ❤ I'm still skating on my roller derby Bonts (flat, no heel), even outside/on ramps, and it's not ideal because they're falling apart lol! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and passion with us 🌈🎵🐇
As a beginner skater, I was overwhelmed with all the different types of skates out there....This was very informative and helped me pick a skate (Panther Boot).....now if only they would come back in stock....Thank you
Beach bunnies in black or darker colors would be dope for vegans who want a (more affordable) darker boot
Panther is the beach bunny in black.
@@nadinerbnr Not really. They have suede which is not vegan
My Lolly's are still going strong 3 years now,
I am going to get the Jack boots once I can afford it, they are designed with so many sincere details!
Thank you for such a great influence on skating, culture and the breakdown of all these skates~
I bow down to you for making these amazing skates. I 💜💚💙them so much that I have 3 pairs of Lollys in 3 different colors. You are a GENIUS. You’ve changed my life in more ways than I can possibly thank you for. You are an incredible person and I’m grateful every day.
OMG 😍 You look so excited and transparent talking about your brand. Absolutely fell in love and wanna get my Panthers now 🥰🙌
Hi, I'm from the Philippines and I just wanted to say that you along with the other moxi girls have been such a big inspiration to me. I have been following you guys since 2017 and I really believe in your vision about roller skating. Back here in the Philippines roller skating is basically dead, though there are some brands that provide quad skates they aren't as good a the skates put out by your brand. If I could get a hold of a pair of moxi skates I would like to revive the sport in my home country. I'm really rooting for your cause and I just want to thank you guys for continuously inspiring and doing the most for the sport. I wish the best luck for you all and keep up the great work!!! ❤️❤️❤️
hellooo do you have some local brands you would recommend to beginners?
@@angelicarain5540 well I did buy roller skates from the brand "chaser", and so far it's pretty ok naman.
I'm new at rollerskating, at 30 years old. Just got my Rainbow Riders in the mail and I'm soooo excited to learn how to skate! 😊
I would love to see the Panther in a wide width the way the Lolly and Jack can be customized! I am not a plus size skater but it would benefit that demographic a well as me who simply has very wide feet. Thank you for all you do!
I'm a beginner and I love my Lollys. They feel amazing which encourages me to skate more often (indoors right now). Thank you for creating them! 💗
My mom and I just bought some Moxi skates today! We can’t wait to get them 🤩
I hope you two have so much fun on them!
Victoria Boreman must be an astrological alignment bc I just purchased beach bunny’s a few hours ago too :) It’s a day for purchasing Moxi skates!!!
I JUST ORDERED A CUSTOM LOLLY FOR MY WIFE!! She's going to be so Stoked! Thank you!!
Awwwwwww🌸🌸
Thank you for making this video yourself! I was choosing between Moxi and Impala and jist ordered some Clementine Lollys after seeing your video 🥰
Today I just purchased the Moxi Beach Bunny in strawberry lemonade. 😊 I can’t wait to get them!
where did you purchase your beach bunnies?
I’ve been roller skating inside my house on derby skates, and keep telling my hubby I need more support in my ankles. He’s finally told me that once this pandemic is over, and he’s back at work again, he’s going to buy me a new pair of Moxi’s! Come on pandemic! Be over already! 😄
Hope you got your moxis by now :)
I have experience in artistic skating and recently I have gone outdoors (due to covid ahah) but its made my love skating come back.
I needed to update my boot so badly and purchased the black jack boot. I love them so much. They have the support my artistic skates gave me but the comfort of the jack boot is amazing.
so excited for my beach bunnies to arrive, glad i ordered the sky blue too because they look stunning! 💕
I wish this video came up when I first searched for rollerskates to buy! I didn't mind the video being long because you actually covered many questions and gaps in information I have had as a new skater 💜
We are glad to help :)
Please discuss the differences between plates and wheel - what is ideal for dancing skates?
I love that you support factories and keeping business alive in America! It really pays off in your skates, love them all! 💕😊
Please please PLEASE make a panther style skate with lolly colors 🙏🏼 I love the stiffness of it and the suede combination but need some bright colors in my life 💜
Do you have the panthers?
I knooooow. lol I want those colors !!! I want the jack/ panther ankle support but Lolly colors..
Im surprised at her honesty when it comes to pros and cons, and I really appreciate it.
Just ordered my first pair of Lollys recently! I absolutely can’t wait 🥰
have yours arrived yet ?
I just bought the Babyblue with Pink Laces Beach Bunny Skates Yesterday , im Still Learning How To Use Them But i Love Them. Seeing my rollerskates on this video makes me feel more happy that i got them😅😫💘🎀
Thank you for the video 🥰 Moxi skates have been a great investment and I will continue to purchase your products. 🤩
Love my Moxi Lolli even more knowing the passion behind it. Thank you. So comfortable right out of the box, smooth and solid. Grateful to be part of this community.
I need the beach bunny with a green boot and pink laces! 😩 more colour options PLEASEEEEE!! I also love the build a bunny idea mentioned in other comments
Thank you so much - you just explained to me why I keep falling in my lolly and land with so much ease in my BB. I just ordered a panter b/c I think it's really the best of both worlds. So... Wheelbase. Lessons have been learned. :D
I'm curious if your Panthers came with the same size Marvel plate as your BBs?
I love the wider wheel base of the Bunnies, too. My size 6 BBs have a 650 Marvel plate.
I was surprised that my size 6 Panthers came with a 600 Marvel plate. 😔
Aw I love her! Appreciate the honesty and ordered the lolly :)
Amen sister!! I will be buying a pair from you. What a coincidence, I literally just discovered your TH-cam videos this morning, immediately became obsessed and watched a bunch of roller skating videos & talked about skates all day, researched your website & wasn’t sure which pair to get bc I want to skate outdoors & learn to dance... and then you posted this video!
Skate culture is going to take over the world, spread the word y’all!!!
Love & Light,
Jess
St. Petersburg, Florida
Thank you! I really appreciate if you did :)
Michelle Steilen aka Estro Jen I purchased a pair of beach bunny skates in periwinkle & a cute tee shirt. Can’t wait to start skate-dancing in the streets :)
Michelle Steilen aka Estro Jen I sooooo LOVE the legalize roller skating at the grocery store tee shirt but you only had size large available on your website... Please get more grocery skating shirts in size small (or extra-small)?! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 I want that shirt so bad! I live two blocks from my gravers store, I should totally be allowed to skate there, shop right quick, & then skate home with my groceries
Honestly I think watching this made me more confused on which skate to get 😂😂
LOL
A friend recently started renting a hall for a small group of us to skate with her...she has successfully inspired the 10 of us who consider our selves a skate crew now, complete with skate names(- mine is Dare Dream), and she also gave me a link to the Moxi Lollys- which I have just received my first pair of(I can already tell that one pair will probably not be enough!😆). I got the Lilac. I love them! I have been dealing with harsh life elements resulting in PTS, and skating has been a true therapy for me like no other! While I am skating, I am powerful and strong and beautiful in myself, and the motion puts my brain in a very relieving and relaxed place. I am so happy to have found Moxi, Thank you!
Love the Moxi brand! I own beach bunnies and lollies, love them!!
Which one do you prefer? I’m looking to do some outdoor skating/dancing.
Definely got that you are not a camera person from your previous videos, but I very very grateful for this channel! So thank you so much for doing all this!!
Thank you for working so hard to offer vegan options. I love my ivy jungles SOOOO much. I hope you find a good vegan suede!
I was going back and forth between the Lolly and the Beachbunny because I don't skate a lot (just getting back into it at 55!) but you sold me at USA made! So the Lolly it is! :) Thanks for the video. Very informative.
I started on the red/black zebra ivy, I have the Lolly now and the Panther is next! 🤩
can't tell you how cool it is to see you, the founder, going over all the skates in your line, the thought behind them, the manufacturing, etc etc. and it really lets people know what they feel would be worth the upgrades or not vs blindly getting whatever. LOVE that some of the skates are american made and i know some people would absolutely pay more for that. or more for an upper that's got more longevity vs having to get new skates. this is FASCINATING.
tbh i just purchased some panthers as they seemed to be really versitile and could also do skateparks. idk if i'll end up doing that but i like having the option. a good all-rounder lets you see what you're into and that to me is key. then you can upgrade to specialize. i also like that they are BLACK. because then you can just go wild with wheels (obsessed with clear ones, idk why) and laces and all that. i love leopard print though.... it feels a little weird in a skate? but it's changeable, there's options, LOVE IT. i hope they fit well.
i was also obsessed with the green lolly as soon as i saw it but as a beginner on quads vs inlines.... i need to eval how i even like this style before getting more $ into it. decided to spend more than originally planned because having shoes of that pleather stuff or bad inlines... they either are hard and hurt constantly, OR the things crack and break apart. spending $60 on a disposable skate isn't very economical especially if you end up liking it. coulda just gone more $ in the beginning and ended up with something that's actually durable. was sort of tempted to do the watermelon bunnies (i kind of hate pink but the watermelon theme tickles my brain. and the green is uuuugh so beautiful.)
but some people said the uppers didn't last and cracked and stuff within a month or a few months. i'd be pretty sad. and i just found the panthers on sale so it seems to me that i'd shell out an extra $20-30 for a higher longevity skate, i should just do that. PLUS, idk if i wanna be so high vis while learning 😂
my MAIN goal was skates i could dance on and do tight maneuvers and use my garage for that. so on days where it's raining and skateboarding isn't as feasible. or if it's late at night or whatever. and inlines aren't good for tight spaces.
anyway THANK YOU. seeing this vid and your presentation basically made me choose your brand and stop waffling about. it's just that people kept saying this was all over social media and to me that isn't a badge of honor or mark of a good product necessarily and i had to look deeper. anyway, love your energy, enthusiasm and silliness! still watching the rest of the vid even though i already made the purchase. that says something. 😄
please please please bring out a vegan lolly range!!! i’m not a fan of the vegan jacks nor can i really afford them. the lollys are such a dream and i would love to get a pair but i just really can’t bring myself to wear suede. you’d be making so many people happy if you make vegan lollys!!
literally
wait i never rly knew suede isn't vegan. what even is suede?
carter rives it's a type of leather
Seconded; I would love flexible vegan boots
I would love to get the beach bunny blue sky. Saving up love roller skating thank you for this video loved watching :)
I would love purple with Princes floral design from Purple Rain. I know his estate is really tight with licensing. But he loved to skate so it may be something they would consider. I’m 52 and just now starting to skate again. This would be my dream skate. I’m trying to decide which pair to buy right now. Your videos are great!
Also, he was really big on women empowerment. If you know much of his history it might be a good selling point his estate. I can promise you they would sell like crazy. Y’all are already in Minnesota anyway right?
This was literally the review I’ve been looking for! About to move from Moxi Beach Bunnies and couldn’t decide which GH skates to go for - Magics or Diamonds. You mentioned you were deciding between the two - can you remember why you went for magics and not diamonds- I can’t really tell the difference! I’ll be getting the Vanguard plate for sure! Loved this video! Thank you!
Love that you did this, Estro Jen! I love my Lollies so much and they’re a great first pair of skates. I’m wondering why you didn’t highlight the Vegan Jack on here. I was eager to hear you compare it to the others. Thanks so much! Love and support your brand and movement always! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 🤍🖤
We filmed this before it was available but after Covid Ill do a comparison.
Michelle Steilen aka Estro Jen awesome! Thanks! 🙌👏🏼
I got a pair of Moxie skates for my 16th birthday and it was literally the best present I’ve ever gotten.
i've had my current skates (blue streaks on crazy venus plates) for years and years and the boots are just DONE. 5 seasons of derby and countless hours of rec skating and they can't take it anymore! now that i'm a retired derby skater i'm really thinking of springing for some moxies. might buy some soon so i can get back to outdoor skating during this quarantine...
I just ordered the Panther as my first skate! Can't wait for them to arrive.
Wish I would have seen this before I got my Jungle skates. I may have gone with the panther instead. Can’t wait!
Michelle H how are your jungle skates? Those are the ones I’m leaning more towards. I haven’t skated in years but used to be pretty good. Lol. I’m just getting the passion to get back into it.
So far so good! I’m new to skating so don’t have much to compare it to
Thank you very much for keeping the Culture alive
I’m so in love with my poppy lollies🥰 definitely worth the investment!
I am living for this entire brand and the energy she brings when she gets passionate talking about the design choices. This was very informative.
Can I just say as a vegan, it's absolutely amazing that you guys have vegan options!! Please keep up the vegan options
I just ordered my new black on black Moxi Lolly’s and I can hardly wait till they get here! The CoVid-19 craziness has emptied the streets so I’m going to take advantage and get out on some skates. I’m 56, don’t let age stop you. Thanks for all your great videos to help me pick the best skates for what I want to do.
@Lizzy Flower Did they give you an estimated timeframe for your order?
I love my lolly skates! They were a bit of an investment, but compared to my sister’s beach bunny I prefer my comfortable skates.
Do you know how long they last?
Just got my panthers and I’m so excited ❤❤❤❤❤❤
finally a video i can send my friends when they ask me what skates they should get! lol
Girl!! I'm just in Awe of all your skates. I have a Coach Bag Collection. Now I want to sell my Bags and start Collecting Skates. I'M IN LOVE!!😊🤗😍
The beach bunnies are amazing for so many things! I used them to learn ramps and grind rails and theyre so supportive! I'm rough on my skates and they havent fallen apart or anything. A bit scuffed but i never clean them😂 they're kind of my beaters now since i got a pair of lollys💕 although im sort of wishing i would've just splurged for the jacks now because i want to be confident and stable jumping stairs and doing miller flips 😅. Either way i love both of my moxi skates💖💖💖
I'm so excited to get my Clementine Lolly skates ! It will be my very first pair of skates, other than the ones I had when I was little.
Thank you so much for this vision of amazing skates ☺
Liza frank skates would be awesome and gorgeous! Or Disney skates, my favorite is tinkerbell. I love the 70s fashion but I was born in 85 so 80s colors and patterns would be fun!
This is why i love Estrojen. She is honest, she tells you the truth. I am going to order the moxi panthers. I like colours but black just goes with everything. Could swap the leashes, i am not a big animal print lover but, they look fun! Also i need ankle support, the lolly scares me and i can't afford them right now. God bless you Michelle and i love what you guys are doing 🙏
Im glad to finally see more of this.
Sorry It took me so long!
No need to apologize on not doing good on talking or the video! Girl your amazing! So gifted and talented! Thank you for making my most beautiful skates ever! I have the Jungle and I love it, I have 2 On my List 😍😍😘 Awesome Videos!!! Awesome Craftsmanship!
I would love to see the panthers come with different color options
Thank you for ALL this information!! I’m an old girl trying to re-visit the most fun of my youth. With all the changes & improvements general skate dynamics (oh my GOD, fast wheels!), I desperately needed this lesson!! You did an awesome job covering all the things 😊. You also have great stage-fright-recovery! 😃
Cheers!
Just got my Lolly‘s Friday. I Got the Lolly so my roller derby skates wouldn’t get ruined by trail skating. I like a bigger toe stop so I did replace the stock one for the gumball superball. I love how these skates feel. I wear Antik AR1’s for roller derby so the Lolly is just as supportive on my ankles. I have the Bont Athena plate on my Antik’s but don’t mind the powerdine plate on the Lolly. It’s super light compared to my derby skate. I hope to go for a long skate tomorrow to really test the Lolly out. I do love the comfort so far and I love how secure my heels feel without the pinch and blister causing rub some skates have. I skated for years as a kid and quit for about 20 years before derby came into my life. I’m still kind of a novice skater right now but I hope the Lolly helps me out. Maybe one day I’ll upgrade to the Jack boot.
Thanks for this Catherine! Happy skating!
Please let us know how the Lolly’s work for you on the trail. Is the trail paved??
Thanks!
Love how passionate you are! was wondering if the Long Beach store was open? def want to get my hands on those Panther skates! They're all so cute.
Thank you for making this video. I watched this video twice and before deciding on which skates would best fit me. I just ordered the beach bunny skates in watermelon
I wish you offered Lollys with the Marvel plate! I know that the Panther is a fine substitute, but I love the colors of the Lolly but would want a more durable plate, especially if I'm paying $300+.
Moxi rules, keep making great products!
They do offer Lollys with metal plates! When you customize a Lolly, you can get whatever Powerdyne plate you want. 2 nylon (one is reinforced with fiberglass) and 2 metal.
I wear barefoot shoes - I remember rollerblading in year five. I am really keen to get back into skating. I'm nervous about putting my toes into a small footbox again, as barefoot shoes have really helped my knees/ankles/legs/back heal themselves... It could be really dope to create a skate for barefoot runners/barefoot shoe wearers! I also just really enjoyed watching this video and listening to you. When I can afford a pair of skates, I'm 85% sure I'll be coming back to y'all. So thank you!
So a good starting park skate would be the panters? i'm actually cruising on my candigirl but i wish to upgrade to a good beginer skate park skate quality/price wise!
Wheels are the key. Candi's are fine for skate parks. It's up to you if you wan to invest further, of course, but other than a wheel change, it's not *needed*.
All of them beside th eJack are recommended as starter skates. Jack's price is more for the SURE INVESTOR. Our entire skate line is made for the all-purpose skater.
the Candi Girls are okay for park skating! I used them in the streets and park for almost a year. Just get park wheels. It's up to you but I think you should just save for a Jack or Lolly
Wow thanks for the video even though you hate being on camera, Estro! I love that you went into the purpose of the heel of the boot and the the "Why's" of everything!
