inline speed skating

[GemInite]

Anyone into inline speed skating?

I've always been a huge rollerblading fan and I want to start getting into the next level.

Anyone know any good places in Toronto to buy speed rollerblades like this?

Those pro blades aren't the greatest speed boot you can get for a few reasons. First, that if they don't fit your feet perfectly, you're kinda stuck with an imperfect fit. The boots are not moldable at all and are incredibly stiff.

Second, there's no frame lateral adjustability, so if you have supination / pronation issues, you can't adjust the position of the frame for that.

I would save up and get a pair of actual inline speed boots (simmons, bont, hyper, apex...)

What's your foot size? I have a pair of Bont ZX-5 boots that didn't fit me at all, and can't exactly return them...so I'm looking to sell them. They're 40/7.5, but fit mens size 9-9.5 shoe.

Lastly, check out the local inline speed club: www.torontoinlinespeed.com






edit: to the best of my knowledge...nobody in Toronto really sells inline speed skates, there are a few people in Ottawa that do...and I skate with the toronto inline speed club
