VNLA A La Mode or Sure Grip Boardwalk? (Indoor Skating)
Hi Skate friends :)
I am finally taking the plunge and buying my own skates for indoor skating. I have been going once a week for a month now and don't see myself slowing down. I have rented skates so far but I am really looking forward to getting my own skates.
On Saturday, I am headed to my local skate shop (an hour away) to get fitted and buy my own protective gear, but I most likely will be purchasing my skates online.
So my real question is that I am thinking between 2 sets of skates that seem similar, but I am wondering if there is some difference between them that I am not seeing that someone could clue me in on :)
The two I am deciding between are
VNLA A La Mode
and
Sure Grip Boardwalk
I will say, I plan on skating indoors mostly but I am interested outdoor skating if I can get different wheels. Not sure if either boot would be better for trying to use both indoor and outdoor. If so, please let me know!
