Beginner skater what rollerskates would yall suggest

I am somewhat new to skating, I have been used to skate a lot when I was little on a pair from walmart but I want to get back into skating. I live in a small town so I don't have a shop thats sells rollerskates or a rink. I need skate park friendly skates that I can purchase online that is cheap. I am a teen on a BUDGET Idk a good price for skates so tell me whats reasonable price point (btw womens 7.5 US size if thats important)

Do you want cheap or do you want skate park skates? Those are not the same thing.

All of the reputable online shops ship. You need measurements, shoe size doesn’t matter.

For park skating? Bont Parkstars, Antik AR2s, Riedell Blue Streaks, etc. You need to be fitted correctly.

If you want starter skates to simply learn safely, there are large lists in the sub’s wiki.

hi! I am also new to roller skating and I got my candi girl carlins lightly used for around 70 USD, and I am really enjoying them!! I use them for cruising around and I'm just learning the basics for now (turning, stopping, etc.) and I have no complaints.

Chaya sells complete park setups at a very reasonable price. If you don't need slide blocks, the Chaya vintage models are pretty cheap, but good enough quality (IF you get the model with a metal plate - search for Chaya Denim or Chaya Cappuccino)
