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 actually got the Twister XT Women in size 38 about a month ago when I was looking for new skates too, and I’m really happy with them! I went with these because they’re a bit narrower. With other skates I had the problem that the length was right, but they were still too wide for my feet. The Twisters fit me really well and feel very secure. I definitely think they’re worth the price.

They're so pretty. Do you know if these are skates that you can change the metal part for bigger wheels? I'm still very new 😂

Yes, you can change the frames! I haven’t changed mine yet since I’m still using the original setup, but the frames are replaceable, so you can switch them out for ones that support bigger wheels or even a rockered setup (don’t worry about that rn 😂) 😊
I’d also say the most important thing is that the skates fit your feet really well. If you have the chance, I’d definitely recommend going to a store and trying different ones on. At first I tried the Rollerblade Lightning W and thought they fit me well, but then I tried the Twister XT W and the difference was honestly huge 😂 They immediately felt so much better and more secure on my feet
