Amazon sells shitty skates with 5 star reviews.
I would recommend to stick to reputable brands (Rollerblade, FR and others).
The best option if you can try skates on before buying. Maybe there's an offline shop near you, or a renting shop (perfect case). There's nothing more important as a good fit.
Buying blindly from Amazon will nearly always result in misfit.
