Moxi Skates
FAQs
How do shoppers choose the right size between suede and vinyl models in the Moxi Skates collection?
Shoppers choosing boots from the Moxi Skates collection should note that suede models like the Lolly stretch as they break in, while vinyl models like the Beach Bunny remain rigid. Suede boots typically fit one to two sizes down from standard women's street shoe sizes to allow the boot to contour tightly to the foot. Vinyl models offer less stretch, so skaters often choose a closer size to their standard street shoe or size up slightly if they have wider feet.
What is the main difference in ankle support between the Lolly and Beach Bunny models in the Moxi Skates collection?
The Beach Bunny model features a stiff vinyl upper that provides structured ankle support for beginners and street skaters. In contrast, suede Lolly boots in the Moxi Skates collection feature an unlined upper that allows high ankle flexibility for carving, dance skating, and maneuverability. Skaters who require rigid joint stabilization often prefer vinyl or reinforced boots, whereas those seeking a flexible foot feel prefer unlined suede setups.
How do wheel sizes and plate materials compare across popular options in the Moxi Skates collection?
Soft 78A outdoor wheels are featured across models in the Moxi Skates collection to absorb road vibration and handle outdoor surfaces. The Lolly model pairs larger 65mm Gummy wheels with a lightweight nylon Thrust plate for long-distance roll efficiency. Meanwhile, the Beach Bunny uses smaller 57mm wheels on an aluminum metal plate, providing a lower center of gravity and added durability for beginner stability.
Which boots in the Moxi Skates collection work best for skaters with wider feet?
Most models in the Moxi Skates collection feature a relatively narrow fit through the toe box and heel. Skaters with wider feet often fare better in suede Lolly boots, which stretch horizontally across the forefoot as the natural material breaks in. For rigid vinyl models like the Beach Bunny, wider feet may require sizing up to avoid uncomfortable toe compression and numbness.
Are models in the Moxi Skates collection suitable for aggressive skatepark riding?
Standard setups in the Moxi Skates collection excel at street cruising, trail skating, and dance maneuvers out of the box. While entry-level models can handle basic park ramps, aggressive skatepark skating with heavy impacts often requires upgrading to stiffer boots with reinforced ankle support or rigid metal plates. Upgrading components or choosing reinforced models helps maintain stability and equipment longevity during park sessions.
