RB Crossfire 4d vs K2 exo aluminum

[landmanjann]

I'm in the market for new fitness skates. I like to burn calories, so I don't necessarily need skates with huge wheels. What I need is comfortable skates that are durable, and I like aluminum frames vs. the glass-reinforced nylon. I have a pair of RB evo 07s from about 3 or 4 years ago, but they're beat up and the wheels are chunked out (3rd wheelset I've gone through), so its time to step it up. Any suggestions? Also, I've heard the 4ds run a little small. I use a size 12 evo 07, so should I go to 12.5 if I go 4d?

Since everyone is viewing your post and not replying, I thought I would jump in.

4D would be a good choice, or the K2 Moto, possibly Moto Extreme. Sizing shouldn't be too tough, but as everyone has their own preference, I can't say what you would like best. RB's and K2's are true to size and a snug fit gives best response, but you want to be comfortable foremost. 12.5 in either should be good.

Thanks for the post!
