Womens inline skates?

Hey guys, well i was looking for some inline skates, but i had a few questions. I was wondering if there is a difference between mens and womens skates, or are they all the same? i used to skate a lot, and had the recreational skates that were like 60 or 70 dollars, and they tend to hurt after a while, im looking to spend no more than 110 on skates, i was wondering if you guys would know any good brands that are worth looking at.


And the skates will be used for some tricks here and there, but nothing like jumping off a 10ft wall or extreme stuff. Pleasee let me know!! THANKS! :)

I%26#039;ll chime in as a blader for years, sine the early 90%26#039;s.





Both of the ones you have look into will be HOT and heavy! Good for occasional skate park runs, but horrid for outdoor, summer, long runs.





If you are getting back into it, after giving up with sore feet %26amp; ankles, look into soft boot models with velcro %26amp; or buckle closure straps up top.





I have owned %26quot;Roces%26quot; and they busted quite fast. The frame broke loose from the boot. That sucked! They were, as mentioned, hot and heavy for summer fun outdoor skating (sidewalks, roads, blacktop paths, etc...)





%26quot;Rollerblade%26quot; are great, but overpriced, and usually high in the boot, causing pain and wear on the shins. I had a pair that outlasted many, many, many wheels.





The latest pair I picked up are Ultra Wheels 608%26#039;s or 808%26#039;s, with a softboot black/gray/yellow upper, aluminum frame (lightweight), with large diameter Hyper wheels, soft 76a compound for a smooth ride, and ABEC 7 bearings...fast %26amp; smooth! (Which is what I like on in-line skates.)





They weren%26#039;t expensive, are deadly fast when maintained, and have held up to many jumps, no 10%26#039; walls for me, but loading docks, park benches, other skaters, etc...





Basically, small/ hard wheels for slick agressive moves


%26amp; large/ soft wheels for speed and grip on any surface.
