I have switched from the Rollerblade Downtown 4 boot to The new Rollerblade Point 8 boot.  There are definitely major differences in the designs.  The Point 8 is more structured, and the sole plates slide faster.   The best thing that is changed between the Downtown 4 to the Point 8 is the New Cuff.   The new cuff allows for the skater to customize their ankle flexibility.   Much appreciated.   I have skated these skates for about a month, and the durability is exceptional.   I haven’t had to worry too much about new parts or anything like that, so I am having a great time with my Rollerblade Point 8’s.
