I have k2 redline 125s. I love them.

When moving up to bigger wheels on taller frames, make sure you have strong enough ankles for them or you will suffer from pressure points that did not exist before.

If you often glide on one leg or do long strides (low cadence strides), you're probably ready for the bigger wheels.

The brand I'd probably recommend is Powerslide due to their Trinity frame, giving you the lowest possible height from the ground which is good to avoid these pressure points I've talked before as well as offering good stability.

If you're coming from size 80 wheels or 4 x 80, I'd recommend you narrow your choices to models that use 100 mm wheels.

If you're curious about 110 or even 125 mm wheels, I strongly recommend you test these skates BEFORE deciding to buy them because if your ankles aren't strong enough for these big wheels skates, your skating experience will be miserable. I also caution that even short test may not suffice because the problem may not appear after 30 minutes or after 1 hr.

You can put a big wheel frame on almost any skate. But if you're buying new, I like powerslide for big wheels because of the trinity frame so the wheels are positioned closer to the base of the skate and you're not so high up and better control.

I'd probably go for Powerslide Next boots. But anything by powerslide would be a good bet. If you're not wedded to trinity frames then FR, Seba, Rollerblade and K2 all sell big wheel skates. If you can try some on and see what's comfy.

My best recommendation out of skates I own are Rollerblade Twisters. The boot is both very snug and very comfortable. You can get them in 3x110.

If you are looking for higher quality skates here are some thoughts.

Alkali - skip all but possibly the Fire series.

Bauer - skip the low end, mid to high is good.

CCM - limited offerings. I have the 9370R but swapped to indoor premium wheels. I like those, but it’s a straight frame which I like as a defenseman.

Mission - I think both current models are solid.

Tour - skip the low end.

Marsblade - ice players doing off ice training swear by these but will tell you I don’t really see them in competitive play. Not sure why.

Ice boot conversion - provides a ton of options but can also be very expensive.

I got Bauer RS Senior Roller Hockey Skates. They are on sale at Hockey Monkey right now. I like that they mimic how an ice skate fits.

Are there rollerblades for on ice?

I feel like marsblades are pretty much the standard.

Just so you know, I read that as ‘office’ at first.

I'd say you're looking for either recreational or freestyle skates. InlineWarehouse.com has a good amount of information to get you going but, a lot of things are gonna factor into your choice. I'm just getting back into this too and in my research I went through a bunch of stuff but ended up calling a skate shop and getting their expertise. I don't regret it either. Even if you don't end up ordering from one I'd recommend getting an opinion from someone at a shop.

P. S. *A lot of shops are still taking calls and shipping despite closing store fronts

I love my R1’s for outdoor! But for indoor league I prefer my lighter and stiffer alkali revel 1’s

I converted True Catalyst 5x4s over to inline. Nothing compared to the fit/support/comfort of True boots. If you play casually I would look into 3x4s and convert.

I’m a Bauer junkie. The Shadows are amazing; the new Vapors will drop soon; so 2024’s will be on clearance. In your size with that budget, you can get just about anything; but Bauer top tier is always a sure bet.

at your weight, I think the marsblade would be fine.

Tour. KV1

Ha 38yr old here and having been looking at a new pair!

Can’t wait to find out how much less I bounce.

Ayyy back at 37 and these were What I picked up forst as well. Been skating about a month and a half again Have fun !

If you want to grind, then you are looking at aggressive skates. Most aggressive skates will come with smaller wheels in the middle called "anti rockers" these help give more space for grinding but this isn't the ideal setup for just cruising.

If you want the best of both worlds you could buy a second frame to swap out that has bigger wheels for just skating around on, or if you want to keep it simple, I would look into the USD Aeon 72mm. These are going to have bigger wheels that are good for all around skating, but you will definitely be able to grind if you wanted to.

Roces m12's can't be beat, I've got them hiding in my valo skins

What do you want to do? What styles/skaters influence you?

What kind of skating do you want to do? If you just want skates for fitness/to go some distance I always liked the K2 softboot options. If you want to get into some more urban freeskate kind of stuff then check out some options like the FR skates, Rollerblade RB80/RB Cruiser/RB110, and Powerslide skates. The hardshell boots will be less forgiving on your feet, but offer a lot more support for jumps and tricks on the street if that's your jam.

Really think you're doing a disservice to the Bauer XLJs as they are the only inlines I could find to fit size 7 (7-10 sizing) for my 3 yr old. They're a hockey style boot, but the purpose will translate well across the board until I can put him in some aggressive, if he so wants. Quality was good enough that my father in-law approved them and he's been playing hockey for like 40 years, only buys Bauer. Also, Aeon Teams go on sale regularly, got mine for 265 shipped from inline warehouse. Hell of a deal.

Do you have any recommendations for larger feet? I'm at US13/EU47/305mm and really struggling to find anything good in my size.

M12 too narrow, Razors too ugly...

Not True to size

Why is "anti-rocker setup" listed as a con? Isn't that a desirable characteristic on an aggressive setup?

Get a pair of powerslide zoom 80, they’re new and they’re one of the cheapest freeskate in the market... have a look at them https://www.powerslide.com/Powerslide-Zoom-80 ��

The sooner you take the brake off the sooner you will become better at stopping without one.

There’s a few different ways aside from a T-stop.

If you are skating parks, I personally recommend a Xjsado with a freestyle frame. There’s going to be people who disagree (potentially strongly) with that, but in my opinion this was the best skate I’ve used, it takes the guesswork out of locking into grinds and takes away the fear of getting snagged up on the wheels.

If you are skating less at the skatepark it’s probably better to get a good pair of rec skates or hockey skates, as these will be much better for actual skating.

I remember there was a skate shop in Paris when I went there which was popular, but I never had time to visit it.

>I'm usually skating anywhere in my city and some skate parks, and I uses rollerblading for everyday trips (like going to school or in downtown), so I'm looking for skates that suit for this kind of activities. I also still need a brake on my skated because I can't stop efficiently yet without it. Basically, I need something with which I can do long trips and tricks, and on which I can attach a brake. My budget is around 100 to 250€ atm.

>Additionally, I don't really know where to buy them. I live in France, in Perpignan, and there is no specialized shop nearby so I have to buy them from internet but I'm not sure which website is good.

For general transportation and basic tricks, both hardboot skates (that is, skates where the boot is made up of a rigid shell completely (or almost-completely) surrounding a padded liner) and softboot skates (that is, skates where the majority of the boot is made up of flexible mesh and paneling (similar in structure to an athletic shoe) affixed to a rigid base plate and a rigid cuff).

In general, skates designed for performing tricks tend to be equipped with smaller wheels and shorter frames to enhance their potential maneuverability; by contrast, skates designed for long-distance use (e.g. marathon, racing, and cross-training skates) tend to be equipped with linger frames and larger wheels to make them more efficient for those purposes.

Additionally, the various skate manufacturers use different lasts to design their skates (and even for different models under the same brand), so the fit of one product line at a given size will be different from the fit of a different product line under the same brand at the same size, and both of those will be different from the fit of a product line under a different brand at the same size. As such, we would be better-able to make useful recommendations if you could give us the length and width of your feet (for example, my own feet are 305mm long by 105mm wide), and more detail as to which type(s)/discipline(s) of skating you're interested in pursuing.
