The THEM Pat Ridder Pro-Model is certainly one of the most beautiful aggressive inline skates.
It is an inline skate in the 909 THEM series.
The THEM Pat Ridder Pro-Model inline skate features:
- Intuition heat moldable liners
-
909 soul plates that are new and wider compared to the previous models
- 58 mm wheels with ABEC-5 bearings
Strengths:
- Without any doubt one of the most beautiful aggressive inline skates.
- All compononts are high quality (except for the bearings).
- THEM used to be specialized in boot-onlies, so it is very nice to have seen some complete inline skates from them (pun intented) in the meantime.
Weaknesses:
- Strangely enough THEM almost always choose ABEC 5 bearings, even for their top models, altough better bearings are widely available.
- Also very typical for THEM: the size charts are rather peculiar for all their models. Because this model features an Intuition liner, we advise to choose your regular shoe size.
Two sizes of Intuitions liners are available for each 909 shell size:
- Shell size XS is used for two sizes of Intuition liner:
Intuition liner US 5 - 5.5 = MP 230 - 235 = EU 36-37
Intuition liner US 6 - 6.5 = MP 240 - 245 = EU 38-38.5
- Shell size S is used for two sizes of Intuition liner:
Intuition liner US 7 - 7.5 = MP 250 - 255 = EU 39-40
Intuition liner US 8 - 8.5 = MP 260 - 265 = EU 40.5-41
- Shell size M is used for two sizes of Intuition liner:
Intuition liner US 9 - 9.5 = MP 270 - 275 = EU 42-42.5
Intuition liner US 10 - 10.5 = MP 280 - 285 = EU 43-44
- Shell size L is used for two sizes of Intuition liner:
Intuition liner US 11 - 11.5 = MP 290 - 295 = EU 44.5-45
