Inline Hockey Skates

Im intersted in buying inline skates, because i want to learn how to skate, hopefully after learning play some recreational roller hockey. Should I get just the regular roller inline skates, or just go ahead and buy the inline hockey skates?

Do you know any brands that are cheap?

thanks
so basically, regular inline skates (with brakes at the back), or hockey type?

Mission is the best in my opinion. The pair that I own was about $200+$300 (I don't remember exactly). I know that is a lot for a beginner. The thing is though, I have had chronic pain in my feet since I started 15 years ago. I have never had a "really good" pair of skates until now. My feet have never hurt in these skates.

I am assuming you are an adult and you don't have to worry about outgrowing a pair of skates. If you have to worry about your feet still growing, you should probably go cheaper. . .

This is a video from the "Learn Inline Hockey" DVD that was produced for the Pine Rivers Inline Hockey Club to hand out to learning kids ...

I have some baur inline hockey skates that have been in storage for a a few years from when I went through my tomboy phase. They weren't used very much and i want to sell them on ebay but I can't find the size. I've looked in them, on the bottom- all over. How can I find it?

you could measure from heel to toe of the boot and just post that as the size on ebay. but if you do that dont say size # say 'the boot measures #inches' thats what ive seen done on older skates that may not have th size available. also try looking on the tongue of the skate more towards where to toe is, thats where my size thing is on my ice skates, for this you may have to loosen or undo some of the lacing which is no big deal because you can just redo it.

Price: $99.99

Boot has custom reinforced ankle stabilizer
Tour Force Speed Formula wheels
Aluminum 6000 frame

I'm starting from scratch to join a roller hockey league. So why can't I just buy regular off-the-shelf skates? Are they lighter/faster/sturdier? Is something about the other skates dangerous?

Roller hockey skates will hold up better and protect your feet. The boot is designed to protect your feet from the puck and will not be as easily damaged. The portion of the skate that holds the wheels is made of steel in a roller hockey skate vs. fiberglass for the inline skates. In addition, there is less ankle support in a roller hockey skate which provides the player with better skating movement (sharper turns can be made). In terms of protection, performance, and durability, it is worth the money to purchase hockey skates.

i now have inline hockey skates, they are tour skates...are they reputable?

It depends on the model really. Some are top notch, others are for recreational use

sell them on ebay and buy some goalie ice skates. i would definitely talk trash about them after i scored on you.
