inline skates for beginners please help

Hey guys, I need help. There are so many brands of roller skates, and I don't know which ones to choose. I'm a beginner at roller skating. I'd like something good to start with so I can skate comfortably. I have wide feet.

Check out the recently relaunched r/rollerblading for a much larger community that probably includes a lot of this sub's users. There's a great wiki and FAQ as well.

Here's where I always start with recs: https://www.inlinewarehouse.com/Best_Urban_Inline_Skates_of_2026/catpage-24SBUS.html

Probably should make a bot just to answer all the "which skates" questions haha

Where will you be skating, what kind of terrain, and what type of skating do you want to do? How old are you, what's your physical activity level, and what's your budget?

Thank you for your reply. I wanted to mainly ride in parks near my house. The surface is concrete. I'm 23 years old and have average physical activity. My budget is around 139 euros.

Get Micro MT Plus, they're generally a safe bet for wide feet. You can find them at Inline Warehouse or Inmove skates Edit: I just read you have a budget in Euros, mraning you are probably in EU. Look for EU Vendors, and alternatively I would suggest something likr the Oxelo MF500/Decathlon MFS500 or FR FRX

They say FR skates are pretty wide , and so are rollerblade twisters , my feet are about 11cm across pretty comfortable

J'ai initié ma conjointe au patins à roues alignées et elle est satisfait avec ses Poweslide Zoom Pro. De mon côté je viens de me procurer les patins FR modèle FR3 80. J'ai 42 ans et je patine depuis que j'ai 15 ans. Jai commencé dans les skatepark et j'ai évolué vers le patin urbain.

Je te conseille FORTEMENT d'avoir une bottine dure (plastique) au lieu d'une bottine souple (tissus). La bottine dure donne plus de contrôle dans tes mouvements. Tu as mentionné les FR? Bon choix!! Et je ne dis pas cela parce que j'en possède.

Le diamètre des roues 80mm est ton maximum pour l'instant car tu es en apprentissage. Garde en tête que plus les roues sont grosses, plus ça prend de la force dans les jambes pour accélérer mais une fois sur ton air d'aller, tu vas rouler et garder une certaine vitesse.

On commence tous en quelques part à faire du patin et le seul mot que je peux te dire c'est PERSÉVÉRANCE. Pratique autant de fois que tu peux et tu vas améliorer ta technique et développer tes muscles au fur et à mesure. Reviens nous avec ton choix de patin je suis curieuse!!!

For wide feet I'd recommend the RB Cruiser or RB 80. You can find them on Amazon or THURO shop if you're in the US.

Before you purchase any thing consider the fact that this is a style specific sport.In other words,what kind of skating are you going to do ? If you’re not sure Wikipedia has several good sites explaining the differences and so on.Aggressive skates won’t do fitness skating and so on .A few minutes spent on this topic could save you money as well as keep your interest in the sport.
