K2 SPORTS Ladies Athena Inline Skates

The ideal choice for the new skater that is looking for a stable, comfortable skate and doesn't want to break the bank. The Athena offers a smooth roll that's great for beginners thanks to the combination of K2's Tec-Composite frame that absorbs road vibration and transfers power, ABEC 5 bearings, and 78mm wheels. The K2 Athena inline skates are perfect for those newer to inline skating. Fitness oriented, the Athena are focused on comfort and stability, and are a great value. At a 78mm wheel size, they allow for better control of your speed and maneuverability. K2's Softboot designs incorporate breathable, comfortable, and flexible materials that fit and function like a second skin while substantially reducing overall weight.

Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
Got these as a gift for my daughter and she loves them. Saved a significant amount of money vs buying the same pair at a local Sports Authority. The skates perform very well, are comfortable and are very stylish. I'm an avid skater myself and these are great all around skates. Sometimes people get really caught up in the wheel size and think that larger wheels are better, but what they forget to consider is that smaller wheels are more maneuverable. I feel sorry for the kids I see in speed skates with huge wheels who can't spin or change direction easily.
