Skate / Brake question

[Achilles]

Hello, new to the forums here but great community from what I have read.

I've been out of skating for a while now. The last pair of skates I owned were Mission Proto VS several years ago. I used them for hockey and recreational skating. Over the years I've owned all Rollerblades prior to those. I'm looking to get back into skating, recreational/performance for the most part. After looking through the forums I see a lot of positives about K2s and Rollerblades. I want something that can handle speed and tight turns etc.

Rollerblade Crossfire II 4D Fitness Skates 07
Rollerblade Crossfire 4D Skates Men's '06
Rollerblade Crossfire 90 Skate Mens 06
Rollerblade Lightning Skates Men's '06
K2 Moto 90 Fitness Skates Men's 2007

Those are what I'm looking at. I've always used high cut boots so I have no clue how the mid cuts are. I'm also wondering if the brakes can be dettached on the ones that don't necessarily say removable etc as I don't like brakes.

Any input/advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

All are good choices. It comes down to personal preference really. I like the K2's so I would be partial to the Moto 90. Only reason that K2's feel best on my feet which is really what it comes down to.

Thanks for the post!
