I want to get a pair of skates, but i basically know shit about this stuff. What skates would be good for someone like me who is like beginner/intermediate (it's not like i've never skated b4, i just havent done THIS kind of skating) Also, would it be a bad idea to get them online? and are the sizes usually similar to shoe size? any answers to these questions would be really helpful.

no no no. go to www.skatepile.com they have good prices and all the skates out there. I suggest either Razors or USD. The Rollerblade TRS' aren't bad either. Most skates that you are lookin at are gonna be around $200 I'm guessing. There is no point to getting really crappy skates, because you should improve fast and in about 2 months you will really want some better skates.

I prefer www.hertelwax.com for skates. You should be able to buy your skates in the same size as your ski boots (CM).

Yea i forgot about the Canadian thing. I still think its a little overpriced. Skatepile seems to have the lowest prices on most things.

just go to your local sport store like Dicks or Dunhams and buy a pair of skates with a grindplate.

Like I said don't do that because those skates are horrible. Just get a decent skate to start off with and then you don't waste a 100 bucks on some crappy pair of skates that you are going to use for a couple months. And for sizing I normally go 1 size bigger than my shoe size. You don't want skates too tight nor your feet with kill after gaps and stuff.
