First, I want to know if skate size is generally the same as shoe size; like if I wear 8 shoes, should I get size 8 skates.

Secondly, can someone suggest a good pair of skates to get. I'm looking for something under $200 prolly closer to $150

I'm not that intense about skating, I just want a comfortable pair, thats somewhat lightweight, big souls, and relativly cheap.

Also some internet sites that have skates would be nice too.

I'm thinking either razors or xsjado's

probably xsjados cause there adjustable size so when my feet grow they'll still fit

razors are good beginner skates. Xsjados are a wee bit heavy. But have huge fuckin soul plates that are real easy to lock in. Forget about cess slides with xsjados, the buckles get in the way.

Razors are the way to go for cheap and good customizable parts.

Are these skates any good? Are they comfortable?

They have a thick soul plate and big frame so grinding shouldn't be a problem. They are perfect, but I want to know if they are comfy.

Roces are good skates, and you can get them at fairly good prices within ur price range.

It sounds like the Razor Cult 6 would be the perfect skate for you. Check it out.

Razor skates run about 1/2 size small on classic models (Shima 3, Cult's), and True to size on newer models (shima 5, Shima 6, team, gen 4) The shell sizes for all razor skates run in size ranges, which makes it easy to upsize or down size as long as you are staying your determined shell range. Razor boots are average in width.
