Salomon STI Soooo Goooood
Review of Salomon STi Team by
duncbarton
Advantages: Look cool, roll really smooth
Disadvantages: stock frames and soul plates are a bit slow
...I love these skates. They skate really similar to all the old Salomons except, they are much more comfortable and look much cooler. They wheels and bearings are really smooth and the frames and soul plates can now be exchanged for other companies products (UFS frames, Mecanizm Wings, etc.).
The STI's still have the heel shock absorber,but now they also feature a full length shock absorber on top of this. They still have the custom fit liners which can be moulded to the shape of your foot for a perfect fit. Basically I love these skates and if you even liked the old Salomon skates you’ll love these too. They are just like the old ones but improved in so many ways. Buy them now....

...I ordered these skates with the Genesis 2 frames and Salomon Wide Bodies. However, you do not need the wide bodies, the skate has a decent soul area, but the wide bodies make it better (my opinion). I heard the frames it comes with are ok, but they break easily, so I would recommend getting an upgraded set. I also read that somebody said, these skates felt like you were strapped to 2 pillows that were gliding down rails, and this is very true. The liners are very very comfortable. When I first put on these skates, I thought I slipped on another sock. The boot molded right to my foot and made for a very comfortable ride. After I put my skates together, I went outside to skate for a little while. Right away, I could do a Royale, and comfortably too. I had not been able to do one before because my ST1s have terrible soul areas, and right...
