Hi, I am a beginner skater from the Philippines.
Can you share some of your insights and help me on the situation. I am fairly a heavy guy (165cm ; 82kg). I really got addicted to skating and i wanted to learn the basics (USFSA basic 1-8) and I'm thinking of purchasing my skate shoes. I've done a fair amount of reading and what i found most helpful is from Kinzie's closet. According to the table in the site, heavy skaters should opt to buy the next higher level boot. I wanted to purchase a boot that i can use for quite sometime and use it at it's outmost capability. Considering my build and size, would you recommend a marquis? or should I go for freestyle? Thanks in advance!!!
PS: Have no coach yet due to lack of funds for one.
