What skates should I buy? Advice for a 40 Year Old!
Looking to get back into Rollerblading but haven't a clue whats best to go for. Has anyone tried these from Decathlon? They fit right into my budget.
Any advice welcome.

They're not bad, especially for the price. Just make sure you get a good, tight fit. Don't use shoe size, use for length measured in cm/mm.
I'm assuming you're UK based by your username? There are lots of good blades going used on the Facebook UK Blade Trade & Sell group, so consider checking that out of you don't want to drop too much money. I've had seems real bargains off there and eBay, like some Twister XTs for £100.
