The Luigino Strut 3x125 is an inline speed skate with a carbon fiber boot and three 125mm wheels. Pick your boot size, a Striker 3x125 frame, Atom Matrix 125mm wheels and Bionic bearings.

Strut boot features

Blended carbon fiber shell: Light and stiff, with a sole shaped to take wheels up to 125mm.
AquaTech: Heat softens the shell so it molds to the shape of your foot. You can mold it again any time.
Barefoot Technology (BFT): The boot is shaped like a bare foot, so your foot sits in its natural shape.
ProBack: Molded latex foam at the heel and tendon holds your heel in place, and it keeps its shape for the life of the boot.
Nano buckle and waxed laces: They lock your heel in each time you lace up.
Thermafiber: Luigino's composite in the shell, which makes it lighter and stiffer.
Mounting slots: Slots in the sole let you move the frame forward or back, and slots in the frame let you move it side to side.
High-density sole padding: Firm padding under your foot for comfort on long skates.

What we found when we skated it

The first time we skated the Strut, it took much less effort than our usual race boot. We could skate far longer before we needed a rest. Crossovers and the double push felt better and steadier, and the boot felt light. Read our Strut review.

Sizing

Each adult size has a men's and a women's number. M10/W11 is a men's 10 and a women's 11. Men order by the M number and women by the W number. A man who wears a size 10 street shoe orders M10/W11. A woman who wears a size 10 orders M9/W10.

Sizes J12 to 7 fit girls true to size. Boys order 1 size up, so a boy who wears a size 6 street shoe orders a 7.

Boots sized J12 to 4 have a 165mm frame mount. Boots sized 5 to 15 have a 195mm mount. More help: How to try on a speed skate boot.

Questions

What do I choose?

Four parts. The Strut boots in your size, a pair of Striker frames, a set of Atom wheels and a set of Bionic bearings. The price starts at $383.95 and changes with the wheels and bearings you pick.

Which frame fits my boot?

Boots sized J12 to 4 have a 165mm mount, and boots sized 5 to 15 have a 195mm mount. Both 3x125 frames fit both mounts, so they fit every boot size.

Can the boot be heat molded?

Yes. The Strut has Luigino's AquaTech material. Heat softens the shell so it molds to your foot, and you can mold it again any time.

How does the Strut fit?

Order your street shoe size. In sizes 8 to 15, men go by the M number and women by the W number. Sizes J12 to 7 fit girls true to size, and boys order 1 size up.

Does it come put together?

No. The boots, frames, wheels and bearings come as separate pieces to keep the box small. You bolt the frames onto the boots with the mounting bolts. Then you press the bearings into the wheels and put the wheels on the frames with the axles and spacers. The frames come with the axles, spacers, mounting bolts and a hex tool.
