The Salomon st10 is one of the new range of UFS (Universal Frame System) skates released by Salomon just before Christmas 2001. The st10 is the budget skate which they say as aimed at beginner to intermediate skaters and they cost £140. Looking at the skate there don't seem to be many differences between these and the previously released Feinburgs other than the colours and the wheel set-up. The skates come with a nice looking blue cuff and liner, white soul plates and black salomon UFS frames. The salomon liner is one of the most comfortable and long lasting liners around. The liner features coolfit so once you've worn them a few times the mold to the shape of your feet making them much more comfortable. The wheel set-up features a nice fast rolling set-up of salomons own ST 56mm/88a wheels with a nice set of ABEC 3 bearings. The UFS system on these skates allows you upgrade you frames to UFS frames from other manufacturers so you can improve the colour and style of the skates. I have been riding my ST10's for about 3 months and I've found them to be a really good set of skates. With the £140 price tag I wasn't really expecting great things from them as most good aggressive skates can normally be found to cost upwards of £200. The soul plates are very fast sliding and hard wearing. After 3 months there is still plenty of grinding left in them. Sliding on the boot is pretty scary at first as they are pretty quick at first but once you get a groove worn in they are really nice and controllable. When it comes to gaps there are no problems as the big shock absorbers in the heel take away all the pain. All in all an excellent skate that I would recommend for all skaters beginners through to advanced.

Good detailed op, but it would read easier if you added some paragraphs.
