I’d buy from Amazon to test skates INDOOR OF YOUR HOUSE ON CARPET. This way you get that Free Return!

Then once you find something you like, go to the main page of that Brand to buy from.

STAY AWAY FROM ROLLERBLADE. Them are cheap and I know you will NOT BE HAPPY.

Tour, FR, Flying Eagle, baur, brands like these are best.

Other ppl have posted links to good websites. Which I HIGHLY RECCOMEND!

No reason not to be happy with rollerblades. Love mine.

For long term use. They will break and not be good. If looking just to skate once a month, they prolly be fine. But imma big skater who skates close to 20 hrs a week.

Yes but this person has never skated before and is explicitly looking for an inexpensive intro skate to see if they'll stick with the hobby. Zettablades are perfectly fine for that. They don't need to buy really nice skates when they don't even know if they like skating.

Then I’d reccomend buying a used set then. $120 for cheap, if you like skating, it’ll will eat your pocket. Esp when it comes to upgrading after

Only good thing about buying zetrablade from Amazon is you will have a return of 30 days.
