When I picked up this skating hobby, I told myself I only needed one pair of skates. That's it. Wrong.I started looking for skates shortly after these Parfaits where launched. Loved the colors but my size was never available. In any color. So I picked up a different skate.I was doing ok with those skates but was so scared about breaking an ankle while skating on asphalt, I was not making much progress. Those skates are suede and flexible but I was not confident I would have the support when I needed it. They are my inside skates, but as my confidence is gaining, I take them outside more often then before.These Parfaits became available in my size (and color!) and as a bonus were on sale so I snagged them. I fell in love. The boot is sturdy but flexible. The padding is awesome. After the break in period, so comfortable. I love the support they provide. I also like the toe box in these skates. When I first tried them on, my toes were snug but not tight. I have baby bunions forming, and there skates did not give me much issuses when I started wearing them. The Parfaits are pretty heavy compared to my other skates, but for outside skating I feel the Parfaits keep my grounded. Just have to work the legs a bit more.I've had these skates for almost a year now and use them primarily outside with 78A/62mm wheels. When I wear them inside, with the stock wheels the skates came with, I feel like they are too heavy for inside use. Not a "sticky" feel from the wheels but a weighted feel. Inside is the only place I feel the weight is not needed.I would recommend these to anyone. I tried on several pairs of skates before settling on my first pair, that are light weight and suede but of the two pairs I own, these are my favorite.Happy Skating

After researching skates for wide feet, this one was the one I bought. They’re perfect and don’t pinch at all! Very wide toe box. They were the cutest skates, as a wide footed girl, most of my shoes are ugly.

Decent quality skate for the price. Nice aluminum plates, they are spaced a bit wide which is good for stability but not agility, ok outdoor wheels. GREAT for wide feet! I cannot stress that enough. I got a half size bigger(8) than my normal shoe size (7.5) because I wanted to add an insole, which makes skates tighter. So it worked out perfectly. If I am using the stock insole however they do feel a bit bit and clunky on my feet, so if you don't plan on upgrading the insole size down. They get dirty really easily outside so I think I'm going to keep them for indoor skating because I love the lavender color. They are comfy.I did change the laces, bearings, cushions and wheels.

I just pulled these out of the box. They sure are pretty and seem to be very well made. My concern is with the sizing. I have been cursed with Flintstone feet, so out of alllllll the skates I could have bought, I chose VNLA because they rumored to ve great for wide feet. According the the VNLA sizing chart, I should order size 7. Well, I ordered a size 8 because even though my actual length is size 7, the extra wideness makes for a difficult fit. I also have partial paralysis in my foot due to a military injury, so shoe/skate is of major importance. Weeeeellll, let me tell you that I am not sure where anyone gets the idea that these skates are for wide feet. While they may be a bit wide in the toe box, the padding is so damn thick that it defeats the purpose of being wider. Like why bother making the toe box wider if you are just going to stuff the area with padding. ??? Soooo, I am going to attempt to make these work. If the super over the top excessive padding of these skates don't form to my feet I will simply write a sucky review. So I will try them out, and update my review.

I haven’t roller skated or roller bladed in at least 20 years, but I used to love it! I decided I wanted to get some skates to wear when my son is riding his bike or scooter (he’s 5 so I’m not too embarrassing yet). I have wide feet so I knew finding a good pair that I liked might be a challenge. I did online research and lots of ladies in my position swore by the VNLA parfait. They are plenty wide enough and reasonably comfortable out of the box. The boot is nice and supportive, but a bit stiff so I’ll need to break them in some. The VNLA sizing chart was spot on. I wear a 7.5 wide in new balance running shoes so I followed the brand’s sizing advice and ordered a 7. Usually I go up to an 8 in footwear that isn’t labeled as wide, so I half expected to need to send them back and exchange for a bigger size. But I didn’t! 7 was a perfect fit! Can’t wait to really get back out there on my skates!
