New Rollerblades?

Question
"Hi,  I am an experienced skater looking for new blades.  The reason why is that my Salomon DR-120s are no longer supported, seeing as how Salomon itself no longer exists.  I'm having a hard time finding brakes for these skates, so I guess I'll get rid of them.  I can slide-stop using my wheels, but I don't like it.  This is the second time this "no more brakes" thing has happened to me with skates.  If there's no hope I can find heel-brakes for these, I'd like to find a skate that is good for leisurely long-distance treks, and that'll be around for a long time so my brake supply doesn't get cut off.  I find the lace-ups with one top buckle to be the most comfortable and durable.  Again, I like heel brakes.  I'm not averse to spending a reasonable amount on my new skates for the sake of comfort, etc.  Thank you for your help! "

Hi Curt,
If you live in or near NYC I have been told by the inline dept. at Paragon Sports on Broadway at 18th St. that they could probably find a brake that would work with your DR-120s, however, if not, Rollerblade's Lightning or Lightning TF Race & also K2's Radical 90 or Radical 100 should fit your bill nicely. Hope this works for you.
