Broke the strap on my pair of inline skates yesterday. It's ok they were 15 years old, I can't expect them to last forever. It does mean that I am a little out of touch with whats available though. If anyone can update me on the state of the art I would appreciate it. Feel free to suggest models as well, just please tell me why that model is better than another.


I am an experienced skater with a hockey background who would be using the skates for recreation/fitness. I do like a lot of support. I haven't tried a soft boot though my wife uses one so I am open to the idea.
