skate advice
hello! i am a new adult skater with no childhood experience at all and im wondering about skate brands. i snagged a pair of brand new riedell rubies for $100 USD, but im starting to second guess myself.
i am 5'5 and around 150 lbs with pretty narrow feet, and im nervous about these skates giving out on me one day. im still just trying to teach myself how to go forward and recently learned forward swizzles. since they are new and i dont skate very often, they still feel perfectly fine. sadly any pro shops are an hour drive from me, but id like to get a proper fitting this summer. eventually id like to learn spins, not really interested in jumps. just looking for some suggestions, any advice is appreciated! :)
