Roller Derby Elite Alpha 110mm 3-Wheel Inline Skates for Adults - High-Speed Performance Skates for Outdoor & Indoor Roller Skating, Fitness & Recreation

FIRST AND FOREMOST: If you have trouble with the buckle system you have trouble with lots of things in life. I mean this in the nicest way possible.... learn to read. The instructions are clear.It may not be a top of the line pair of inline skates but it will do for me for a while. I used to rollerblade many many years ago. I am 40 now and I did a lot of research about what's new and current. I was intrigued by tri-skates but weary of the fact that many reported they are very fast. They are. But don't let that scare you. If you gradually learn to skate in them, how they roll and build up speed, etc., you'll be fine. Devote a fews or weeks to learning how to brake. It takes a blink of the eye for these things to have you doing well over 20 MPH on a slight descent.Another concern many expressed about tri-skates was maneuverability. My opinion is that they are sufficiently nimble. Yes, I do have to give them a bit of muscle for really tight turns but nothing excessive. They mostly just follow your commands. For someone that is just learning, like me, they are more than maneuverable and responsive.NO BRAKE: Not an issue. Even with my total lack of balance I was able to drag stop after some practicing. Yes, it took me about two weeks of trying due to time constraints. But I got it.Comfort is quite good. I've spent up to an hour in them practicing thus far. Yes, my feet are sore after a long session but I expect that. I am also noticing that they are breaking in and becoming more and more comfortable.110mm: I'm 6'2" and about 250 pounds. Yes, they roll just fine. As I stated before, I was concerned about the speed of tri-skates but I also wanted to roll over most things that would stop an 80mm. Now, I wish I had gone with the 125mm. The good thing about these skates is that when I wear out the 110mm wheels I can swap in 125mm wheels.Value: $200 was a great value for starting out in inline skating as an adult. There's nothing I would change about these skates at this price point. If you're looking to get back into it look no further.
