How to decide which type of skates to purchase...

Here you can find a wide selection of inline skates for fitness, fun, leisure and recreation. If you're unfamiliar or unsure what you're looking for, take a look below or give us a call at the shop.

Freestyle / Hardboot Skates
Commonly known as freeskates, these tend to have a hard supportive boot and a short wheel base for tight turns. These were originally meant for urban/city skating but now they are the most popular choice for adults for an all-round general-use skate.


Recreational / Fitness / Softboot Skates
Used for skating on the seafront or in the park and usually have a soft upper section for added comfort and breathability. They are less supportive than a hardboot skate, which is why the hardboot is more popular these days.


3 Wheel Skates
Three wheeled skates are great for skaters wanting to use their skates over longer distances or in wide-open spaces. The bigger wheels means they keep you rolling longer, per push. The formation of the three wheels allows the skates not to be too much higher off the ground even though the wheels are bigger than regular 4-wheeled skates.


Childrens / Junior Inline skates
We stock a wide variety of Roller Skates and Inline Skates for kids. Junior skates often have the ability to extend in size with the push of a button so that your kids don't grow out of them too quickly.
