Review on K2 Skate Inline Skates Black Sports & Fitness by Daryl Fitch

I haven't rollerbladed since I was 10 but at 26 I bit the bullet from unsuccessful attempts at skateboarding and bought this pair. I couldn't be happier! I wear a size 8 1/2 women's shoes and originally ordered 7 based on reviews that said they ran large. I had to go back and try 8 and they fit perfectly! You need to place them on a hard surface so you can push your heel all the way back. The skates are very light so pushing off is easy and climbing uphill is easy. The wheels move so smoothly that I didn't feel a single crack under my feet, and since I usually ride our city's bike lane, I ride into very large cracks. I was a little apprehensive about how fast they would run based on the reviews but they are fast enough to feel like I've come a long way for the little nudge I needed to do and slow enough that I'm not worried about losing my balance or control. Learning how to brake with them will take time, but a bit of grass or gravel will stop you in an instant. They are 100% worth the money to me!
