LIKU Performance 125 3WD Speed Inline Skates Unisex

These are awesome skates, they look incredible and move with zero friction on flat surfaces. I bought as an upgrade from an older pair of inlines with 4 x 80mm wheels, after finding my old skates could not handle some rough tarmac surface on my local beach walkway, these do make a difference but I still could not get very far, will probably get better with practice. But weirdly I tire much quicker on these skates than my old ones, I think because the boot length vs blade depth on these is much less, its a shorter boot with deeper blade because of the larger wheels, the blade has much more leverage to try to overcome the strenth needed in relatively unupported ankles, the work needed to compensate is much more, so we get tired quick. I say this as someone out of practice, and its a criticism that looks applicable to all of the modern skates now, they seem built more for looks with short boots than beginner or endurance practicality with longer boots. Still I really like the skates, am determined to get fit enough to go the distances I want them to go.
