I am experienced and skilled inline skater who had been away from the sport for a couple of years due to injury, and things have changed. I purchased a pair of Aero 9 from you guys about 6 months ago and love the skates. However, compared to my previous Rollerblade models (Macroblade Equipe/ Maxxum, Aeroblades, Energy 4.4) the boot is an inch or two shorter. While that is great for speed and distance training, I prefer a tall boot for more support. Specifically, I live in an urban area that requires skating down stairs and jumping obstacles to get to trails/ paths. The Aeros do not seem to give very good support in those circumstances, and I do not want trick/ cross skate for that would negate my primary purpose. I am tall (6'2) and a skier so I may be biased to a taller, stiffer boot. Any recommendations on "taller" fitness skates? I do not have a brand loyality.
