They were mint (good as) straight outta the box. Yeah, seems like they have nice liners, solid construction, yeah I cut the strap down too, came with Rob Thompson Solomon frames and Dustin Latimer pro wheels. And I think abec 5’s.

Yeah cool. Had them about 2 years, used them about 10 times ( 32 is old for skating! ).
They seem good, I think coz I’m older its harder for me to break in new skates than it was back in the day. Solomons have had a good name for a long time, and I can see how they would last ages.

I have actually been trying to sell them but I am glad now since reading this, that I still have them. I might try what you said and increase the groove, maybe try and mount some kind of 45 degree strap (power strap) to lock my foot in harder. If I take off the wide sole plate I will not be able to skate coz the screws are too long. But Could possibly find replacements, maybe play with your other ideas too.

Thanks so very much for supporting Solomon aggressive, I have been inspired to love them again.
