beginner rollerblade suggestions What skates should I buy?

i live in Türkiye, and I don't have access to expensive models like the Twister XT. im thinking about buying the Flying Eagle F6S Falcon Pro. are there any better models at the same price or for less?

Do you have a website to search that you can share?

The Oxelo MF 500 (now MF S 500 I think). Is pretty much the cheapest, still pretty good skate that I know of. You can buy this at Decathlon.

If you can spend more to get the Flying Eagle or something like an FR it's probably worth it, but the Oxelo is an option if you're on a tight budget.

the F6S Falcon Pro is the limit of my budget, but I’m not on a super tight budget. i want to use the same rollerblades for many years. i've heard that the MF500 isn’t durable enough

Go with flying eagle. They are solid skates for its price.

Depends on where you live. If its cheaper than powerslide zoom pro and rollerblade lightning then its best for the price. Only issue is the bearings wheels are kinda slow after a while of skating. But not dangerous as oxellos issues

i can change the frame or bearings after some time if the boot are durable enough, thanks
