Aggressive inline skates are used for doing tricks, grinds and other moves on the street. They are built to handle plenty of abuse while keeping your feet safe and secure. A few of top aggressive inline skate manufacturers, according to SkateLog.com, include Valo, K2, Razor and Remz.
K2 Fatty Pro
Called the "original soft boot aggressive skate" by RollerWarehouse.com, the K2 Fatty Pro skates have been around since the late 1990s and have a distinctive removable soft boot liner. This is unlike other aggressive skates that feature hard outer shells with little or no ventilation for your feet. The soft boot design provides added comfort while the backside plate construction is ideal for rail slides. AggressiveMall.com calls the Fatty Pro's an ideal entry-level skate for beginners. They are priced at about $150 based on 2010 prices.

Razor released the Aragon 4 in 2010 as their flagship skate; it was one of the most anticipated skates of the year, according to RollerWarehouse.com. It features heel-lock technology for improved heel support, and a foot bed shock absorption system. The boot shell is made from high-density polyurethane for increased durability and support.

The stylish and feature-rich AB boots are lightweight, durable and can be purchased separate from your wheels and frame if desired.
