The K2 Freedom Alu M is the skate for beginners looking for performance and style at an unbeatable price. The K2 soft boot offers a very good fit and stability, allowing beginners to focus solely on skating. With features like the stamped aluminum frame, which provides additional stability and agility, and the supportive Stability Plus Cuff, the K2 Freedom Alu M offers much more than one would expect from a beginner model. K2 revolutionized the inline skate industry in 1994 with the introduction of the first soft boot inline skates. Over 25 years later, now developed into a complete range of inline skates for women, men, and children for all purposes—from family fun to daily fitness and professional competitions—the soft boot design remains the foundation of K2 Skates' product line.
