Important Tips on Skate Selection
- Beware of Bargain Skates: Avoid skates with PVC plastic wheels as they can be slippery on indoor surfaces and too hard for outdoor skating.
- Wheel Material: Opt for urethane wheels, which provide the right balance and grip for various skating environments.
- Wheel Hardness: We offer wheels in various hardness levels—some are hard for smooth indoor floors, others are soft for rough outdoor surfaces, and many in between to match your skating style.
- Axle Placement: Proper axle alignment is crucial. The front axle should align with the ball of your foot, and the rear axle should be slightly behind your ankle for optimal performance and safety.
