Budget/beginner inline skates (women's)
- Comfortable
- Stable, well-balanced
- Easy to maneuver
- Smaller wheels -- good for beginners
- Slower than others
With their relatively small wheel size of 80mm, the Rollerblade Wing 50 inline skates for women aren't as fast as -- but are more maneuverable than -- more-advanced skates with larger wheels, such as the well-reviewed K2 T:Nine Celena (*est. $200). Experts say Wing 50 skates are comfortable, stable and well balanced, and they praise the adjustable brake that lets you get more use out of the brake pad before it needs to be replaced. The men's version of this inline skate is the Rollerblade Astro 50 (*est. $130).
With typical thoroughness, InlinePlanet.com discusses the advantages and disadvantages of Rollerblade Wing 50 inline skates, based on road tests. We also found a user review at Zappos.com, a shoe retailer.

There's just one review here, but it's positive. The writer says she's skating so much that she's lost weight and that the skates look "fashionable."
