I have nike ice skates. When I play (2-4 times weekly) I cannot complain abuot them. I love skates that are really light and are low to the ground.


I'd try em all out. For roller blading, I'm guessing that yor going to need some better wheels and bearings.

thanx for the opinions but

lol, stick to the looks department guys....i too own nike ice skates and they are great, thats why im leanin toward the nike, plus all my other gear is nike.

and gallagher, i dont think i would need better bearings or wheels, cuz labeda is like the mugen of aftermarket wheels, and abec 9 is the highest rated bearing that comes in hockey skates, and i realy cant afford 12's

the nikes look very feminine...

the best thing to do is just use your winter hockey skates with some nice roller blades things on the bottom.... i've never liked how roller blade boots fit compared to nice ice hockey ones

although i guess living in cali you wouldn't have ice skates to begin with

i agree...u should juss take ur hockey skates and change the blades to roller blades...that's wut i would do...been thinking bout doing it, but too lazy.

my fav looking one is the nike, but my 1st impression was that it looked girly.

have u tried them all on? comfort and fit might be more of a priority if they all have equal performance quality.

Although I got Nike ones, I'd still have to go with the Type M's.
Or you can buy a pair of Graf's and turn them into inline's
