K2 KINETIC 80 PRO WOMEN'S INLINE SKATES 2024

An excellent value for those looking for a recreational skate that brings the tech, but not the price tag. The Kinetic 80 Pro gets an aesthetic upgrade this season and has a bold new look that brings fun to the pavement! This Original SoftBoot design provides all-day comfort and is backed by the supportive Stability Plus Cuff for added support and confidence. Lacing up the skates and adjusting is as simple as a single pull thanks to the Speed Lacing System, the laces of which stow away in a handy pocket on the tongue. Finally, four 80mm wheels with ABEC 5 bearings allow for a smooth rolling, casual-pace skate for those looking to enjoy some exercise in the fresh air.

WHAT SIZE SKATES SHOULD I BUY?

K2 Skates makes several series of skates, with several models in each Series. Each series and model is intended to meet the performance needs of a specific target skater.

CORRECT SIZE:

Stand with your skates laced and your heel snug in the heel cup. Your toes should just barely feather the end of the toe box. Then bend forward into a skating stance. Your toes should pull back slightly from the toe box. Cramped toes are bad, but so are loose, sloppy skates. Sizing is a preference; however, a snug fit enables a better response from your skates.

WRAP:
You want an even yet snug fit. To achieve this fit, adjust your laces and/or power straps to alleviate pressure and spread support evenly over your entire foot.

FLEXIBILITY VS. SUPPORT:

Both are important but in different places. Forward flex is critical to maintaining the right skating stance: knees bent, with shoulders and head centered over the skates. Lateral stability, on the other hand, is crucial for a powerful, comfortable stroke.
