Rollerblade vs. K2 vs.Solomon

[kiko36]

I want to buy new skates, I’ve been on a pair of Rollerblades lightning since the beginning of time, (black plastic shoe lace tie up) the first model made…….I’m thinking 5 wheels so its Rollerblade lightning 07 2004 or the Salomon TR Vitesse 03 or the K2 Mod 10.5?
I’m a good skater, I’m mostly going to be using them to train, maybe a little city cruzing as well. Any suggestions?

Tough call. It is mainly personal preference as one person's foot may fit great in a K2 and not so great in a Salomon or vice versa. The new Rollerblades are great. I'm a big fan of those as they feel great on my feet. So I'm a little partial to those. The Salomon and K2 skates of 2005 however, have some great new technology and HUGE wheels. I haven't had a chance to try those out yet however.

Perhaps others on the message board can help you out. Otherwise, stick with what is working for your feet.

Thanks for the post !
