General Advice on Buying and Renting

Home Page

When choosing to buy or rent a pair of inline skates be sure to try many different styles on first, don’t settle for the first pair you try.  You might even consider trying on some quad skates to see if you prefer them over inlines.  As a rule of thumb, when trying on Inline skates you want something that is snug, but not overly tight and you should be able to wiggle your toes while standing up in them.  Remember that skates loosen up after several uses, so don’t listen to the “buy a size larger than your shoe size” or “buy a size smaller than your shoe size” advice; simply find a pair that fit comfortably!
