Answer 3

You don't want ones like little kids use, they are junk and poor for skating.

Are you looking for aggressive skates or recreational skates.  Agressive skates are built for sliding along edges and jumping from high places but are much slower if you are just skating.

For recreational skates look at K2 or Rollerblade brands.  They are the two largest makers of good quality skates.

Try on every skate that is close in size or price to what you want.  Each of the models fits a slightly different foot shape best.

You want the skates to be snug all around your feet but not crush your toes.

If you want to do agressive skating, you can add Roces and Razor brands to the list of companies.

Don't forget to buy a helmet and pads.  Hitting your head and road rash (scrapes from falling) are no fun.  A bicycle helmet is good for recreational skating but for aggressive, you want the more complete protectiobn of a multi sport helmet and heavier pads.
