Here's a great help i got from this nice ns member. (feel free to message him with questions, he was super nice. Here are his review of the k2s and some other cheap suggestions
first, those are rollerblade brand, not razors haha and personally i wouldn't go with either of those. i had rbs that were really similar to the new jacks and i hated them and my sister hated the k2s.
almost every other brand makes a great product so just going off
http://www.aggressivemall.com/ which is my favorite site, i found these that i'd recommend for 200 or less
http://www.aggressivemall.com/Xsjado-Wilson-II-Turquoise-Setup-Skate-p/xsjado-skate-dwii-turq.htm i'm getting this kind of skate soon, it's comfortable, light and flexy but still has great support when buckled as tightly as possible. the souls are also huge which could make learning to do grinds easier but it also makes you feel like you're skating on a platform which can be weird
http://www.aggressivemall.com/Razor-Genesys-9-WHITE-BLACK-Skate-p/rzr-skate-g9-wb.htm this is a great line of skates, thousands of people including my sister swears by them. they can be a little clunky, but
weight shouldn't be a factor in deciding your skates since you'll adjust to them and won't notice after a few months. super durable, big souls, look pretty fresh, and the frames that come on these are great frames for anybody. look around on AMall's site because there are a bunch of Genesys setups for 200
http://www.aggressivemall.com/Remz-OS-4-Black-White-Gray-Skate-p/remz-skate-os-4-bwg.htm i love these skates. i skated them for about 2 years and never had complaints until i wore all the way through the souls which can be replaced. they're v-cut which means they're flexier and because of how the cuff is shaped, jumping is a bit easier. light, slide great, souls are a bit bigger than the Genesys i think, and i personally recommend them. only thing is the frames are
stock frames so they're not as high quality as some of the other frames.
http://www.aggressivemall.com/Valo-TV-2-Black-Complete-Skate-p/valo-skate-tv2b.htm i've never skated these but i've heard a lot of good things about them. however, if you're getting them in over a size 9 i think, they'll be really clunky. if not, they're really solid skates that the most stylish team in rollerblading uses haha
this is only from aggressivemall, so check other sites such as rollerwarehouse, inlinewarehouse, bakerized, and erolling if one doesn't have your size or has a better deal. most sites pricematch so if there's a specific shop you'd like to buy from and another has a lower price, email them and they should be able to match the price so you don't pay more for the same product in a different place.
look around the other sites and feel free to message me with any questions, i love helping new people get into the sport! sorry about flooding you with so much info but i hope i helped a little!
