Great skates for beginners, just get ready before skating!

These are great skates for beginners. I've been using them for about 3 months and have done the following things to ensure they are perfect for my daily driving: You need the Y3 tool so you can tune your axles and loosen the wheels. Out of the box, they're snug so it doesn't feel like you're rolling or bending over. This is basic skate maintenance and you need to learn how to do it if you decide to switch roles. Wheels (as listed) 95A. They are rigid and intended for indoor use only. For those of you who want to get outside and skate, you MUST buy another set of softer wheels (they fit 78A). If you're interested in hybrid bikes so you can ride indoors and out, you might want to go for something like the 85A. I have wider feet and high arches and my skates have started to hurt a little in my legs. I've been looking for ways to lace up, there are plenty of photos and recommendations for those with foot pain! (Example: I omit the second eyelet to make room for the arch and my foot no longer hurts!).
