For your kneepads (and inline gear in general) the best thing you can do is try on the pads before buying them to make sure they fit. Barring that, it's very important to use the manufacturer's sizing charts. Websites will have their own sizing charts that may or may not be what the manufacturer actually recommends and you'll end up with a loose or uncomfortably tight fit! This is quadruple important when buying skates online because the sizing chart the manufacturer uses may not be at all relevant to shoe size- but frontend stores sometimes still only contain sizing in terms of shoe size. I got burned on this when I bought a pair of FRX 80's a little over a year ago and had to send them back and use the proper size chart. If you're finding that you're slipping out of your knee pads you might want to look into knee gaskets. You can put these inside the pad and they help maintain grip. As for wheels, you can't go wrong with the 'Rollerblade Hydrogen' wheels: https://www.inlinewarehouse.com/Rollerblade_Hydrogen_Inline_Wheels/descpage-17HW.html They come in all the standard wheel sizes and are good performance/cost ratio. Most people online think of the hydrogens as the 'must buy' for anyone looking for a brand of wheel to get. I'm only rolling these right now. Bones 'Reds' bearings are also a good 'basic' pick if you need bearings. Oh and everyone should get something like this too probably: https://www.inlinewarehouse.com/Sonic_Pro_Skate_Tool/descpage-SPT.html This tool will complete 95% of all basic maintenance tasks for your skates and is infinitely handy to have.
