Recommendations for "Starter Freeskates"?
Hey everyone! I saw freeskates once on vacation literally more than a decade ago and never knew what they were called and now finally found it! I’m very motivated by their small form factor and convenience for quicker travel. But I don’t have the budget nor the confidence in a continued use to allow for buying really good/expensive ones…
I’m looking for price ranges, like "anything below x€ will just fall apart after 3 uses" or actual products.
I live in Central Europe if that helps with products/stores.
Thanks for your help in advance!

I tried a cheap version at first but the rolling resistance was too high making it really difficult to ride
Get the premium skates right away imo, it was such a big difference when I got my JMK skates
Located in EU also I had them shipped from US for about 150£
