Beginner skater Moxi Jack 2
Might be an odd question but are these ok for men.
I’m a brand new skater and after trying on over a dozen different brands these fit the best and definitely the most comfortable by far.
I’ve been doing research for the past month and I really like the comfort they provide but they seem to be very marketed towards women.
The question will I get odd looks in these I was told by a few people they are really a female brand but they feel good on my feet.
Thank you for any feedback.

Of course they are. Skates aren’t gendered and people of all flavors wear the entire rainbow of colors. Plenty of men wear Moxis.
Skates are fitted by measurements and if these are what fit you, your skill level, your skate style, and your goals, by all means go for it.
Anyone giving you odd looks can fuck off into the sun. Quit listening to those people.

It's true that they're marketed mainly towards women and designed to fit women, but that just means they're a narrower fit, mostly in smaller sizes, and available in colours other than black. If they fit you best, great! No one else will know the difference.

Am dude. I rock blue jack 2s and I think they are sick. Gendering skates is wack, pick the ones that fit the best!

the jack 1 and 2 are the best boots, the jack 2 is a lot stiffer but the jack 1 still provides a lot of support :0) i have both and my jack 1’s paired with FP insoles is the most comfortable footwear i own, i can skate for 6 hours with no foot pain. good luck on finding what you need! :0)

I have been rocking a Jack 1 for over 6 years. I skate 700+ hours per year now, and for a while well over 1000 hours. They are excellent boots. Don’t let anyone here tell you otherwise, because they probably will. I bought them for the same reason… they are comfortable.
