My skates are old and I need some new ones

[stiffy]

I have had my Rollerblade Coolblades for 12 years and have replaced the bearings and wheels many times but I think it's time for some new ones the problem I am having is the local stores only stock a few skates the K2 Athena 6.1 and Nike ndorfin elite I bought the elite's and I didn't like the low boot. I loved my coolblades is there any comparable skate to those? Thanks, Stefanie

Not a big fan of Nike fitness skates myself. If you would of chosen any other skate being a Salomon, K2 or Rollerblade, you would probably be happy right now.

I like the K2's myself, but it is just preference. Check out the Exo 6.0 skates for a more intermediate level. Then on up to the Kinetics then VO2 skate for higher performance. Very comfortable and you'll like the boots/skates a ton better in my opinion. If you liked your RB's, I imagine you'll like the new RB's as well and the fit on those. Crossfire, etc...


Thanks for the post !
