Inline Skate FAQ:
What are inline skates?
Inline skates are skates with wheels arranged in a single line under the boot. They are commonly used for fitness skating, recreational skating, urban skating, roller hockey, and aggressive skating.
Are inline skates and rollerblades the same thing?
Rollerblade is a brand name, but many shoppers use “rollerblades” to mean inline skates. Inline skates are the product category; Rollerblade is one of the major brands that makes them.
What inline skates are best for beginners?
Most beginners should start with recreational or fitness inline skates that have a supportive boot, comfortable liner, stable wheel setup, and heel brake.
What wheel size is best for inline skates?
Smaller wheels are easier to control and more maneuverable. Larger wheels roll faster and smoother over rough pavement. Beginners often prefer 80mm to 84mm wheels, while more advanced skaters may prefer 90mm, 100mm, 110mm, or 125mm wheels.
Do inline skates come with brakes?
Many recreational and fitness inline skates include a heel brake. Urban, hockey, speed, and aggressive skates may not include a brake because those styles often use different stopping techniques.
