Ok I need some help... I have skated all my life and I have been attempting to find a good pair of Fitness Skates......

Since shops here in Las Vegas offer only entry level or kids skates I have had to shop on line....

The first pair I bought was the Mens Speed Machine 110. those are some cool looking skates... and after about five minutes I am in so much pain its not funny and that is skating around my kitchen....

The Second pair I bought was a Rollerblade Mens crossfire 8.0 Size 10.. they fit well and snug however the frame puts severe pressure into the inside edge of my heel and ankle and again in five minutes I am in severe pain...

I also tried on my other halfs spark Pro's (we are the same size so she wears the mens) and the pressure point is the same

Now I have put inserts into both skates as well with not much difference in comfort...

So I am thinking that this is how rollerblades are...


So next on my list to try would be the K2 Mach 100 customs or start looking at Bont.....

Any suggestions?????

Bont certainly would be one way to go and you would be able to mold it to your feet. I would definitely go that route if you feel you have a say 'odd' foot shape or issues with shoes and what not.

I first would go to the K2 though. The Mach 100 would be a great choice. The soft boots are very comfortable and there are no pressure points from the frames and what not. I'm not entirely sure what could be happening on the others, but it is safe to say your feet don't like RB's :)

The K2 would be a lot more comfortable for long periods than a Bont in my opinion. Thanks!
