Inline Skates??

What is a pair of inline skates that doesnt even look like you are wearing skates? They are nice and small. Can anyone tell me where I can find a pair of skates like this?

Inline Skates??
There really aren%26#039;t any. The closest I could suggest would either be the Hypno skates (www.hypnoskates.com/) or a racing skate with a smaller frame to replace the usual ones.





The boots on the newer hypno skates look more like a skate boot. If you can find an older pair or a pair of similar ones from Rollerblade (about 5 years ago, I don%26#039;t remember the model) the boots look more like hiking boots.





The racing boots are much shorter and barely come up over the ankle. It takes some time to get used to skating without the support of the taller boot (which is why the rec/fitness skates have taller boots).


You might be able to find a frame that was designed for smaller wheels (most frames that will mount on them are designed for 80mm-110mm wheels) or modify a UFS frame for agressive skates (designed for tiny extremely hard wheels) to fit the boot.

Reply:Hockey skates and racing skates are generally low-profile. They don’t have the big heavy boots and plastic straps, but are more flexible and lace-up. This may not work for you though, considering that you don’t mention playing hockey or racing.
Reply:I don%26#039;t think there is a pair .
