Buying your First Pair of Roller Skates?

 

If you are considering buying your first pair of roller skates and you are sitting on the fence, remember that paying to rent your skates every time you visit the rink isn’t cost-effective. The cost adds up over time. And if you are sure about your love for skating, the best value for money is buying your pair of skates. Here are proven tips for buying the right pair for you.

Which Roller Skates to Buy?

You must consider several factors to consider when choosing roller skates.

Foremost, think about what type of skating you enjoy. Like any other sport, you’d need specialized gear (skates) for the type of skating you plan to do.

Inline or Quad Roller Skates?

For outdoor or vert skating, inline skates are better.

For dance skating, rink skating, speed skating, jam skating, or roller derby, quad skates are the way to go. Instead of the wheels being aligned under the skate, quad skate wheels are set up with two wheels side-by-side in the front and two side-by-side in the back.

Hard or Soft Boots?

Once you know which skates you want to buy, choose between a hard boot or a soft boot. Hard boots offer better stability and ankle support. These are great for outdoor and vert skating. Soft boot skates provide more flexibility if you are into dance skating. Soft boots allow more air to circulate, and they’re lighter weight than hard boot skates.

Selecting the size

Just like clothing and shoes, you need to choose the right size of skates. For help with sizing, read our blog on Selecting the Right Skate Size.
