Stepping with them is a good skill to learn early, but you're right! [ She hums and looks down. ] Now, to start out... [ Best to cover pushing off very gently, at first. Feet apart, skates at an angle, etc. ] I built these with a bit of a longer blade than normal, so they will definitely help with balance and stability, but you might notice they seem kind of bulky -- not as bad as snow skates, at least!
[ Subaru points. ] There's also the brake on the back, but only use one foot at a time or else you could tip over!
