Riedell is a great brand, I really like them. I bought some Riedell Wicked skates for roller derby and they rock. What type skates are you looking for? There are so many types: Speed skates, classic, derby, in line ect...
If you are buying skates for hard use I would suggest leather boots and aluminum plates because they are a tried and true combo but can cost a bit more. If you are just going to roller skate casually then you can get by with man made boots and nylon or plastic plates (though they tend to wear out much faster) they cost less. Also your wheels will come into play, are you outdoor or indoor? Speed skates have lower profile wider wheels for taking sharper turns and grip. It just really depends on what type of skating you are going to do. You can search roller skates on google or any search engine and check some stores out, some stores have comment sections that help to get an idea if the skate is good or not. I hope that helps! Good luck and keep rollin'!

ViviWith so many brands out there it can sometimes be overwhelming when shopping for new skates. I have had great luck with the Razors brand over the last few years with a few Rollerblade brand skates in there too. They are durable, comfortable and you can customize almost every part on the skates which is nice if you want to change the color or if something breaks.
Razor just released some skates with their soul-less technology which basically eliminates a piece of plastic between you and the ground which gives you a better feel of your grinds and can make switch ups a bit smoother and easier process. Check out the new Bambrick, Aragons and the Genesys series as they all look great. If on a budget the Rollerblade Solo Era offers some slick styles and parts for an inexpensive price.
