Looking into inline skates need some help please?

I have skated before, not too much but i know basic movements and i learn quickly if i apply myself. I wanted some inline skates for getting around to school and whatnot, also for exercise. I want something low profile, i don't mind paying for quality. Also the sidewalks/roads in my city aren't very "funded" so they've got cracks and unbalances. So i need something that will be efficient aswell as fun to use. Thanks

When you say "low profile" what do you mean?


The wheels or the top of the boot.





If you ment boot, you are looking at the higher end skates. Both Rollerblade and K2 make good fitness skates with 90 and 100mm wheels. You might have to look around locally to find them in a store where you can try them on. Most of the big box sports stores don't carry anything above the mid level skates.





I recommend checking if you have a local inline skate club by searching on the web. They can probably tell you what stores would carry them.


Otherwise look for stores that are more specialized like ski shops.





The larger wheels will also help with the rough surfaces. If you have some inline skills, the 90mm wheels should be easy to get used to. The 100s may take more work.
