Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I would consider myself an above average skater, but less than average fitness wise.
I love these skates, I purchased them last year, the first two skates took some getting used to due to the shorter boot, but after that I was flying.
I did take the time to heat mold the boots, which I probably shouldn't have done. Ever since the heat molding the right boot causes problems with my ankle bone, the strap presses against it in an odd way.
I will probably buy the 2008 model and sell my 2007 models as I think the 2k8s have a diffent upper boot/strap setup.
Great skates for someone who has skated for quite a while and looking to take the next step. Probably not good for a beginner who doesn't have much ankle strength.

K2 Radical 100 Unisex Training SkateK2 compares the Radical 100 skate to a German sports car, and it's easy to see why. Combining state-of-the-art technology, sleek styling, and an unmatched fit, the Radical 100 takes inline skating to a whole new level of performance. The skate includes all the features of its Radical 90 cousin, including a marathon cuff, a standard lace, and two ratcheting buckles, but adds K2's Four Hundred Longmount Frame--designed for racers and skaters who like to go fast--and extra-large 100 mm Star Grip poured wheels and ILQ-9 bearings. The end result is a skate that burns up the pavement while still responding beautifully to turns and other maneuvers. Whether you're going on a long training skate, competing in a marathon, or sprinting to the finish, the Radical 100 makes an ideal choice. The Radical 100, which comes in a variety of sizes (6.0 to 13.0), is backed by a one-year warranty.
About K2 In February of 1961 the first pair of fiberglass skis was produced by brothers Bill and Don Kirschner in their Vashon Island, Washington shop. The Kirschners, avid skiers, built fiberglass animal cages for medical use and were convinced that their process could build a ski that was lighter, stronger, and more lively than the wood and metal skis of the day. They really just wanted to build some cool skis for themselves and their friends. And the rest, as they say, is history. Much has changed since those early days on sleepy Vashon Island, but one thing has not: K2 is still a bunch of adrenaline junkies who just want to make some cool stuff for themselves and their friends.
Today, K2 Inc. is a premier, branded consumer products company with a portfolio of leading brands including Shakespeare and Stearns for marine and outdoor products, Rawlings and Worth for team sports, K2 and Brass Eagle for action sports, and Marmot and Ex Officio for apparel and footwear. K2's diverse products includes fishing, watersports activities, baseball, softball, alpine skiing, snowboarding, and inline skating.
