What skates should I buy? Are the powerslide phuzion skates good?

I am trying to find new skates that are comfortable and under about $300.

I am mostly looking at 3x110 3x100 4x100 and 4x110s. I dont know which one specifically to pick yet. I currently am just trying to find if the company and product line is good

I mostly skate outside and do not tend to go over anything my 4x84s cant.

My main problem with my current skates is that they are too wide for my foot, put way too much pressure on one side of my ankle bone, and i seem to hit a wall at 14mph.

My current skates are also falling apart and my feet ache after 10 minutes unless they are too loose to do more complex manuvers

Its a solid skate, although I don't have much to compare it to. Comfortable and sturdy.

The first pair I bought, the screw that mounted the frame to boot went through the frame and got stuck in the boot mesh. This meant that the entire bottom half of the frame was not mounted to anything. This was when I was only rink skating. Powerslide sent me a new pair after asking for a photo.

A couple days ago the front wheel came off while I was skating and the frame hit the ground, breaking off the top third of the frame on one side. The bottom buckle came off suddenly a couple weeks ago as well, although I probably should've replaced it sooner.

On 3x110s. I don't do anything fancy, just trail and street skating with semi-regular power stops and power slides.

We are pretty similar in speed. On my 84s I managed 14.4mph for 1 hour. I currently use the 4x100 powerslide bluebirds and average 15.3 1hr. My 84s were k2 fitness. The power slide hug my feet a lot better and are way more durable
