Rollerblade
4.0
(20)
"My best recommendation out of skates I own are Rollerblade Twisters. The boot is both very snug and very comfortable."
"Get a quality hard boot skate. Rollerblade, Powerslide, and FR all make much better skates than Impala."
"When I did this I bought a pair of rollerblade twisters."
"Rollerblades, definitely. You'll use them multiple times per week all year, city or rural"
"I just purchased the RB 110 3WD and love them. The fit is true to shoe size, which is great because I did not want to go through returning them."
"Id go rollerblade lightnings over impalla"
"I have rollerblade brand blades for outdoor."
"I can recommend the Micro Beats or The Rollerblade Twister XTs keep in mind the best feel youll get is by moving the frame around."
"For beginners I would recommend something from the rollerblade brand."
"Stick to brands like Rollerblade, Seba, K2 or other main brands (they have a proven track record)"

Inline Skates
3.6
(14)
"What matters the most is having a comfortable boot."
"These are fine. I have 2 pairs. If you’re not really heavy and don’t anticipate taking some hard shots with a puck to the skates, they hold up."
"What are the tried and true brands and models people skate?"
"Yeah it's worth it! Inline is fun so you can use them in the summer too."
"It's worth it! Inline is fun so you can use them in the summer too."
"Definitely look for some pre-owned skates I’ve bought 8 pairs in the last year or so for me, the kids and some for friends kids."
"If you get a skate that has a taller foot you can add some cushy insoles."
"Please do avoid general soft boot type which does not have enough support on the sides. There maybe some which as build better but in general the hardshell boots are a safer bet."
"For UK surfaces for skating without anything tricksy I'd go for a 3x110mm set-up, ideally."
"You probably want a hard boot. Specifically one that's roomy. I'm about 280 lbs and wouldn't dare put on a soft boot or even a frame that may be deemed weak."
#3
Powerslide
4.1
(9)
"I purchased my pair of Powerslide Imperial One 80 (black yellow) just"
"I'd probably go for Powerslide Next boots. But anything by powerslide would be a good bet."
"The brand I'd probably recommend is Powerslide due to their Trinity frame, giving you the lowest possible height."
"I really like my pair of Powerslide Arise RD 3x110mm."
"Powerslide seems to be the ticket these days."
"I like rollerblade and flying eagle for beginners but powerslide is another option"
"I would recommend you to buy a hardboot skate. This type of skate is sturdy enough to handle this kind of weight."
"Get wheels at 100mm or above."
"Midly pricey: rollerblade twister/Powerslide next/seba fr1"
#4
Seba
4.3
(8)
"The Seba Marathon are super comfortable out of the box."
"Yes! I have a pair myself. Great skates. Love the brand."
"I heard Seba is GREAT too."
"Brands to look into: FR/Seba, Rollerblade, Flying Eagle, Powerslide."
"Get a hard shell boot to start, if your feet are weird think about a boot with an Intuition liner."
"Stick to brands like Rollerblade, Seba, K2 or other main brands (they have a proven track record)"
"If you wanna do freestyle (the ones with the cones) seba, flying eagle, or rollerblade, but any 4x80"
"Midly cheap: Seba frx/rollerblade rb"
#5
Roces
4.3
(7)
"I highly suggest the brand as it’s higher quality than Rollerblade."
"If you've got narrow feet then Roces M12 are perfect."
"If you have narrow feet, something like a Roces M12 may be a better choice."
"If you wanna do aggressive look at roces maybe (there are tons of other good options too like USD etc. too many to list)."
"The Roces 5th Element seems quite a chonky boot."
"Roces M12s also work well for smaller and/or thinner feet."
"My recommendations would probably be USD Aeons 60 basic or Roces M12"
#6
K2
4.7
(6)
"I bought a pair of K2 Alexis from inline warehouse. Love them."
"That K2 is an really excellent skate and I see no purpose of downgrading to the notoriously bad quality Impalas."
"I'd say if you already have the K2s, stick with the K2s. They're great skates and are exactly what you're looking for."
"Your K2 skates are great."
"The best skates are the ones you're going to wear. If you decided you don't like the K2s for whatever reason but would actually skate the Impalas, go for it."
"Stick to brands like Rollerblade, Seba, K2 or other main brands (they have a proven track record)"
#7
FR
4.3
(6)
"I got me a pair of FR's and love the look of them it makes me want to go out and skate more"
"These skates work GREAT. They are really solid for both smooth and rough surfaces."
"FR(1/2/3/FRX) are all good skates, you can't really go wrong with them."
"FR skates, both the adult and the fr juniors, come in sizes that should fit her"
"FRX or FR3 maybe."
"FR1, FR2, FR3, FRX and RB Cruiser tend to run wide."
#8
USD
4.2
(6)
"Usd aeons"
"If she wants to try out grinding as well, she will need an aggressive skate."
"USD carbons were good as far as pretty much no pressure points."
"The next best in the USD line is probably the Sway."
"IW has these."
"I've got USD Aeons and have no complaints about them other than that the lower strap sometimes comes undone (it's velcro)"
#9
Adapt
5.0
(4)
"Adapt superlegera sp"
"I went through 6 pairs of skates before getting my custom Adapt GTO boots and they're the first time I've felt comfort in skates."
"If you already have frames then you could order a custom Adapt Brutale boot, you won't find better for very wide feet."
#10
Tour
4.5
(4)
"The tour kv2 is one of the best budget friendly and most comfortable skates out of the box."
"I tell everyone this but the tour volts are pretty amazing."

"I like Tour a lot, they have 80mm wheels all around and it works for me."

(4)
"The best skates on the market are the Mission WM01."
"The WM01s are the better skate."

"I put my kids in Mission…but I don’t think their youth supply is very abundant."
#12
