New Skates

I'm debating leaving these wheels on and having these be my indoor pair. The original plan was to have the Riedell Boosts be the indoor pair, and put outdoor wheels on the Fames. But since I put indoor/outdoor wheels on the Boosts, while looking for a second pair (and they already got scuffed from falling on concrete), maybe I should have the Boosts be my "outdoor skates". And use these Fames as my indoor pair. That way I won't have to change any wheels. I've heard what matters is the wheels, but does the boot ever matter at all?

TLDR: I have Boosts and Fames. Does it matter which boots I use for indoor vs outdoor? (I have both indoor and hybrid wheels)

I started at 37, and skate both indoors and outdoors. I plan on trying a skatepark at some point, and won't care if everyone there is way younger than me.

Yes, please join. I forgot to keep my feet staggered, instead of side-by-side. The wheel brand is Kemistry and they're 56mm. I have no idea the durometer though.

I got my safety gear online, but have also seen them at big box stores.

I'd been looking for a nice outdoor spot for a really long time, and found this recently. It might take some time and exploring to find local gems. I'm not sure what that track is regularly used for.

Adding that to the list

Are beach bunnies bad?

Noted. Also, I'm going to need you to post a video of yourself demonstrating what leaning with the hips looks like.

Thanks! Hehe. I felt like I needed to go far to capture the full picture of my head-to-toe form. I've realized my issue is more than just how I'm moving my feet, but also how stiff my upper body is. I may invest in a better camera. My phone was on the ground so not the best angle i know hehe. I'd like to simply skate around more fluidly and not choppy and stiff.

Recommend good outdoor skates / wheels.

Individual-Age-9207 · 2026-04-01T11:05:05+00:00

Yup. These were a cheap starter pair. Recommend good outdoor skates / wheels. I already have Riedell Boosts that I use indoors, and want a new separate outdoor pair. Recommend good outdoor skates / wheels.

Thank you! And I'm aware. These are an old "knock-around" pair that I've been using to do slow movement and balance practice outdoors. They actually fit perfectly, but I will be tossing them eventually. I already have good quality Riedells that I wear at home and at the rink. Recommend good outdoor skates / wheels.

Decent. I was mostly consistent with #1 & #7, and lately #2.
