K2 Exo 6.1 vs. Rollerblade Astro 7

[nuwal]

As a non blader, I am looking to buy a pair of skates that will be easiest to learn with and upgradeable in the future. Any feedback on the two I have narrowed down as my choice?

Both are on the same level and made to compete with each other. 84mm wheels is the max size on both as well. The HiLo setup of the K2 would be the area where they differ the most in my opinion. The fit is great on both and both perform real well. It comes down to personal preference therefore, and I'm partial to to the K2. No real reason, I just fit better in the K2. Nothing bad to sa about either.


Thanks for the post.
