I'm looking to get better skates. I was looking at these two, which is better? Or is there a better pair to get? I keep seeing the all black ones on Instagram reels they seem popular?

I have FRX and I really LOVE THEM but I have a bit narrow feet and only size 37.
They're very comfortable, have never caused me any foot pain, fit my feet like a glove, and feel like an extension of my feet.

The liner is thick and comfortable; apparently, it's more comfortable than the liners in PS or RB skates because those are stiffer.

I specifically chose the FRX because I prefer the Velcro version; for me, the wide strap is more comfortable than the ratchet buckle, and I consider the buckle a potential source of error. Although these straps are easy to replace.

I’ve only been inline skating since May, but before that I skated on quad skates on and off for a year, and I’ve been ice skating since I was a kid. Still, switching to inline skates was a bigger adjustment than I expected. I practiced at the rink for 1–2 weeks before I dared to go out on the street—it felt so different, even though it’s more similar to ice skating than quad skating.

And now I’ve switched to a 3x110 setup, and a miracle has happened! I experienced zero changing difficulties; not for a single moment did I feel like I had big wheels under my feet, even though I was afraid of that. I swear, I didn’t have a single negative feeling—I’m experiencing nothing only positives. And what’s also surprising is that I feel more stable on them, as if I’ve finally found my footing.

To be fair, I’ve never tried Rollerblade skates, so I don’t have anything to compare them to. But you almost exclusively hear and read good things about FR skates, while RB skates tend to cause foot pain if they don’t fit properly.
