Firstly, as an adult, I take the view that if you want it, you get it, it's your life after all. My only caution would be is that you check the dimensions of the one you buy before you get it. Make sure your adult-sized skates will fit inside them, because I've heard that many Zucas don't support adult-sized skates, although that might be just because adults are buying the wrong model or something? I don't know much about them other than I've heard that.
