Rollerblade Macroblade 100 3WD Women's Fitness Inline Skates - Violet & Black - High Performance 3-Wheel Skates for Adults - Perfect for Outdoor Exercise, Fitness Training & Recreational Skating

Love these and super happy with them. I am not a beginner skater as I skated through my childhood (quad skates) and teens on 3 wheel rollerblades - and picked this back up as a pandemic hobby quite quickly. I got these to go out with my young kids while they ride bikes. These are fast skates. Great for smooth roads. The front wheel sticks out so wouldn't recommend them for tricks as I found them clunky, but for exercise and general skating these are perfect. If you are beginner skater I'd go with a less fast skate or an intro all around skate. Things I love: the laces use a pulley cord which tightens up and loosens quickly, good ankle support once used to skating in them, and roomy enough boot. I would recommend wearing indoors to practice getting feel for boot. First few weeks my arches were super sore, but I think as my foot got used to the movements again it dissipated as long as I'm not on a road that has a rounded angle for water run off. Worth mentioning because I think it is common for skates. Only negatives are that the tightening band up top feels plasticky and cheaper; wheels are super slippery if they get wet. I take care not to wear them in dirt, sand, or grit and haven't done any maintenance over 3 months of wear besides storing indoors and making sure there's nothing in the wheels or bearings. I quickly began skating daily after purchasing these and will def upgrade to a different rollerblade for when I want to attempt some more "urban" skating. Kids love seeing their mom on skates and told me "you sure don't fall as much as you said you would." and "that looks cool, mom".
