The company K2, I know from my inliners that are very comfortable to wear and are very durable. The value of this brand is also found in the skates again. Closed they will triple by laces and Velcro on the foot and around the ankle with a snap lock which can be adjusted individually. The shoe fits perfectly and you have around the ankle a good grip. The runners are pre-sanded so that you can start right away with driving and be protected by a rail. I feel comfortable and confident with the shoes that I ordered something bigger, so I still can wear thick socks in it. The skates are a little more expensive, but the quality pays off.
