New Doop Skates

[Carles]

I would like to introduce the new Doop Skate models. What do you think about it?

Well it looks a little more secure than the skates I used to attach to my Sunday shoes with a key! If that's all I ever had I wouldn't be here today!

When I was a kid we had these that also strapped to you shoes...I wasn't a fan then either. lmao

I would make it to the end of the sidewalk, hit a crack, the front would fall off and then I would get so frustrated I would curse and sling my foot back and forth to rid myself of the skate but of course since it was strapped to my ankle all it did was beat my shin!. Thinking back on that I thought I would never be as passionate about skating as I am now.

Of Course I don't see any of this happening with your Doop Skate!

And those straps quickly cut into the top of your foot, lots of kids padded the straps with hankies.

Tried the doops on at a local shop. Quickly realised that the convenience of a strap on skate is greatly outweighed by the poor feel and price of the skate.

It also feels clunky, too wide with the soulplate shape, I don't grind and if I did, I wouldn't dare to grind in Doops.

For the same price , I could get a much better regular skate with change to spare.

I think doops are made for the recreational market, but their Xsjado counterparts seem to be really popular in the reddit community. I wouldn't know, as a slalomer who's never held an aggressive before.

When I have money burning a hole in my pocket I plan to get a pair of doops, myself, for the convenience, maybe take it for a cruise down some socal beach.
