Picking inline skates?
You answered the most important part of picking out a pair of in-line skates--comfort. You can buy the cheapest, or the most expensive, but if it's not comfortable, you will not want to use them. I definitely recommend a soft boot skate for comfort.





It's good to buy a brand that is known, like Rollerblade, Salomon, and K-2. If you need parts in the future, such as brakes, axles, etc...it will be a lot easier to find them. And of course they have gone through the trials %26amp; tribulations so the newer skates will probably be the best you can buy.





Something to keep in mind--because of the availability of different size wheels, it is a good idea to get a skate with a frame that comes with large wheels, such as 90 -100mm. If you're not used to the height, you can buy smaller size wheels, such as 76-80mm. Why? If your skate comes with the smaller wheels, you will not be able to upgrade to larger wheels, even if you wanted to, unless the frames are removeable and/or replaceable.
