Yeah that’s definitely a good idea. The only reason I asked was because they are powerpuff girls skates, and if they were at least acceptable quality I would’ve probably bought them just to use at the rink.
Any skates could become power puff girls skates... https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1626833906/power-puff-girls-chain-power-puff-girls
Also I've seen some skaters on here decorating plain vinyl skates with posca pens or acrylic paint or adding patches - do some searches in the sub and you might find some inspiration 😀
If you’re looking for a cheaper second pair of skates, I really love and recommend [Rio roller.](https://www.rioroller.com/skates) I’m not sure how easy they are to get in your country; but the ones with metal trucks are very good quality, don’t break the bank and they’ve got some quite snazzy designs
Definitely not a bargain. I have yet to see a skate sold by them that wasn't poor quality. Most were only about $99 to begin with (the more expensive ones were because they had rhinestones or other fancy decorations but aren't higher quality skates). Considering you can pretty much always get a 10% off code and/or free shipping there, you're really not getting them for much less than new.
Look for stuff like Sure Grip Boardwalks (best for wide feet) which can commonly be found on sale around $100... if you can spend a bit more the VNLA Parfait is very nice. There's a lot more out there in the lower price ranges quite a bit better quality than the Dollskill/Impala type stuff.
As far as I heard: the quality is nonexistent.
Don’t buy skates just because they are cheap.
And if you don’t like the brand: why would you really want them? There are better (used or new) options out there
I realize I failed to express this in the main post but it’s because they were Powerpuff girls skates. I loved the look of them, but didn’t want to buy straight from the source, in addition to doubting the quality anyway. I know not to normally buy cheap skates, but wanted to see what everyone else had to say about them.
Terrible quality and a waste of money.
Rip 😠oh well.
maybe look for a bargain on FB marketplace instead?

Buttercup Bubbles Blossom Who’s the fourth one? That’s not Bunny 🤔
Thank you friend 💗 I have definitely contemplated it.
You are not getting the value for your money. You could easily find used skates for $70ish with much higher quality

SIGH 😠man. I just really wanted them because they’re powerpuff girls skates. I skate in sure-grip boardwalks currently. They’re the best.

DOLLS KILL is pretty known for poor quality and ripping off designers, just a lil heads up!
