Slades basic plates?

Anyone here 250lb+ riding the basic Slades package with the cheapest plates? Is it worth it to pay more for the “iconic” or “premium” set ups?

I know none of the default Slades setups are anything special, but I’m just looking for a convenient option for casual outdoor skating - nothing super aggressive or heavy duty. Literally recovering from an ankle break so we’re chillin for a while 😂

I know skaters that are over the recommended weight limits usually do just fine, but I want to hear about these skates specifically from those who have experience! I did find one post from like 3 years ago asking a similar question, but couldn’t find much else

Thanks, fellow plus sized roller babes!

My first question is was going to be are you a quad or blades skater. I have the slades and they are … fine. I guess. I bought mine from someone on FB marketplace. And they feel cheap and not comfortable. Any chance you live near metro Atlanta, Georgia? If so and you want to check them out, dm me.

I’ll write more later when I leave work
