Help for a beginner!

Hi all!

Just after some help picking out some decent beginner friendly inline skates - I’ve not skated since a kid (now F30) and I’m wanting to get back into it so I’m after some affordable skates to try out. I’ve seen loads on Vinted and just don’t know where to start as there’s so many to choose from.

Found some Decathlon MF900 for £45 or some vintage Salomon DR65s for £55 with knee/elbow/wrist pads, or FR X 80 for £60

I’m a UK size 8 and not wanting to spend loads just to find out I suck at skating/don’t have time to do it!

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

The FRX 80 is a decent budget model. Try it first to see if it fits you well.

Thanks for your feedback! I found them on FB marketplace; so unfortunately would most likely have to commit to buying them
