I just got my pair of Impalas. In terms of aesthetic they are really pleasing! However when I first used them outside I noticed something was off, it was very hard to keep my balance on the right foot. When I later looked at the bottom, I discovered that one of the trucks was a hit crooked. Unfortunately it’s too late to return them. Sad, cause otherwise I like them.... Show more

The skates are awesome! I love the details, the wheels are my favourite part. The base colour is a bit weird, but got it on sale, so I'm not going to complain. The stoppers are a bit annoying when trying to do dribbles, but they are easily removable.The only thing because of which I'm not gonna give a 5-star is because I didn't expect the toes to get damaged so easily and so fast... but it might be my fault. I guess now I know why people are wearing toe caps..... Show more

I'm so in love with my new (and first) skates 💕 As a beginner I was afraid that maybe the skates weren't ready to use (I thought maybe I had to adjust the wheels and trucks and stuff) but I saw some tutorials that helped me with that and I realized that actually my Impala's came to me perfectly and ready for their new adventure with me 😂. It's been awesome to skate because I feel so safe with my quads, which has given me more confidence to learn and try new things. The only thing I miss about my Impalas is a toe cap, because as a beginner you'll probably use your toes a lot (especially on falls lol) and it'll damage your skates quickly. Unfortunately there is no toe cap to buy here on the Impalas website.... Show more

Product, colour and size are exactly as described and shown in the picture. Even the wheels and laces are beautifully floral patterned. Consider to choose one size bigger than your regular shoe size.Skates feel comfortable to wear and are easy to skate. Although I consider the pointy golden lace-hooks as a slight design failure because the laces could get entangled and destroyed.... Show more

Can't wait to fall down on TikTok... I'm so excited.
These are the first quads that I've owned in 15 years and I haven't skated at all in 3 years so needless to say, I was skeert. They are lovely, the ankles are nice and supportive, but not uncomfortable, and I wear a 7.5 and the size 8 fit perfectly with wiggle room for thick socks... which I definitely want to wear...They aren't so loose that I banana-peeled myself in them the first time but super smooth enough to turn my tiled house into a skating rink and annoy my family at lightening speed. I haven't tried these outdoors yet but will be doing so as soon as it's a little less juicy out.If you're on the fence... get these. IDK about people who skate avidly or have much basis for comparison but as someone who LIVED in skates and at the rink until close to 30... ...

I'm almost 42 and have clearly lost my mind picking these back up, but this midlife crisis ain't gonna have itself... I definitely recommend these skates. They are well-made and I didn't notice any defects or feel any concern with the materials, they are well lined, and the hardware looks good. I have skate-boarders in my house so I'm a little familiar with that stuff and nothing felt cheap or off to me.LIFE IS SHORT!GET THE SKATES!FALL DOWN ON TIKTOK!DO ALL THE THINGS!... Show more

Cute but don’t think I’ll buy again
The skates cute but made of a hard material with little bend so when my sisters started using the skates, they started creasing and gained some scratches already. The shoelaces are also easily stainable and are a bit thin. Besides that, these are very durable and cute skates but will require maintenance if you want to keep them pristine. The only thing I was super bummed about was that Tillys does not do price matching so I’m store these cost $119.... Show more

Get them!!
Yes, these skates are so pretty!! The colors are sooo versatile. They are lavender with rose gold plate, lavender toe stopper, and the flowers are periwinkle, hot pink, green, orange, Fushia, purple, yellow and blue/teal. You can set these up in so many ways!I am a beginner skater learning how to skate for the first time and purchased these in December 2021. These are my first pair of owned skates, so I have nothing to compare them to. They were super stiff when I first put them on, but I am getting used to them, and I hope that the material will continue to get more flexible over time. I wear a size 9 shoe and ordered a M7/W9. I believe these fit perfectly from what I can tell. The boot was not too tight or too big on my foot. As a beginner skater, and after a ... MoreYes, these skates are so pretty!!

I believe these fit perfectly from what I can tell. The boot was not too tight or too big on my foot. As a beginner skater, and after a full month of daily outside and inside skating, they have not let me down.My favorite part about these skates is that they do offer a lot of ankle support. I cannot stress that enough. I think these skates have saved my ankles due to me having a dominant right leg. I'm always on that right ankle (darn it) and when I notice the extra strain, I am grateful I have these skates to support it.The wheels are super pretty, but they do get foggy, and you can no longer see the design. I'm going to call Impala to see if I can purchase another set of these clear wheels. With that being said, the wheels are a good hybrid wheel. I skate inside and outside, and I feel that the wheels have adequate grip and slip for the speeds I'm comfortable skating at. I will eventually upgrade my wheels to a harder grade, but these are fine for now. I would love to see Impala upgrade their skate options (suede) and with an adjustable toe stopper.Overall, I would recommend the Impala brand.... Show more

Impalas for the win!
Ok so this is long overdue. I bought these Impalas for my wife last year for Christmas because she wanted to take up a new hobby during the pandemic. So I surprised her with these and even got her some cool retro-looking socks for comfort. Although she is a beginner and a bit of a klutz, she somehow managed to glide into the sunset with these. They are super comfortable for her, she absolutely loves the look, and raves about them to her girlfriends. Talk about husband points! ?? Thanks Tillys!!!Review Sweepstakes... Show more

quality meets expectations
It arrived 3weeks after purchase but had to to pick it up in the postal not actually delivered to my address (thogh I pid for the Tax and delivery fees). The box has bit flaws when I opened it but the item were in perfect condition. The quality is really good with the perfect design. The size fits me well and the US 5 and EU 36 matched accordingly. The materials of this production is really perfect! Well cushioned, sturdy and the wheels looks and feels great to slides!... Show more

Skating with nostalgia
Didn’t know that I needed these states in my life until they arrived. Completely brought me back to the 80s with just a little extra flair. I already ordered two more different pairs because I see a nice healthy habit starting here. Remember when you were little and the first thing you cared about was waking up and getting outside as quickly as possible to meet the neighborhood, put on your skates and just see how fast you could go? THIS item brought that memory back. Great quality, The wheels feel nice and smooth. The laces and the all-around structure of the skates are comfortable. Incredibly grateful I ordered them....
