C SEVEN High-Top Roller Skates

For many people, roller skates bring a feeling of nostalgia from their childhoods. Popular long before inline skates, roller skates are considered as the classic skate. Ideal for both kids and adults, you can roller skate both outside and inside. They can be used for recreation and leisurely skating, in addition to playing games like roller derby. Roller skates are even used for dancing.

There are a number of different kinds of skates available, so consider what kind of skating you want to do most. Recreational skates, sometimes called indoor skates, are made for dancing and rhythm skating. They have a high boot which is best if you’re going to attempt jumps or spins. Speed skates are ideal for going fast and for certain kinds of dancing. They have a low-cut boot which offers you more flexibility and maneuverability around the ankles. Outdoor skates have special wheels that can handle uneven terrain. These wheels are soft and absorbent which is ideal for going over rough surfaces. Kids’ skates are specifically made more durable than adult skates because of the wear and tear they see. Their wheels also do not go as fast as adult skates.

• Roller skates have four wheels, which are either hard or soft. They are measured on a durometer scale from 1-100A. The higher the number, the harder the wheels. Soft wheels are best for skating outdoors as they offer more shock absorption. Harder wheels have better grip and are more durable and long-lasting than soft wheels. They are better for indoor skating.
• The boot of the roller skate can also be either hard or soft. Hard boots are designed for fitness as they have strong support. You can also replace the liner in these kinds of boots. If you want to dance or disco with your roller skates, then you need a soft boot. They don’t weigh you down, are more flexible and have better ventilation.
• The toe stop wheel on roller skates has a dual purpose. It can be used to brake, and also used to set off from. It’s important to replace this wheel before it gets worn down.
• While roller skates are functional items, they also can be used to express your sense of style. You can find roller skate boots in different colors, with solid or patterned shells. You can also find wheels that come in bright colors that make a visual statement.
