Rollerblading has seen a resurgence of popularity in recent years amongst children and adults of all ages and abilities. It is a magnificent way to keep fitting burning a huge amount of calories for each hour of rollerblading. There are many rollerblading rinks being built for people to meet up and roller blade to their hearts’ content providing an excellent way to socialise as well as have exercise.

Rollerblades can be hired initially to see if you actually enjoy the sport and to get a feel for them. Once you have decided if you would like to take up rollerblading on a regular basis it is advisable to purchase your own rollerblades. Buying a reasonable quality will ensure a good fit and comfort whilst you are skating ensuring a higher level of enjoyment.

Rollerblades should ideally be purchased from a specialist store that has trained advisors who can assist you to help you make the correct purchase. There are set guidelines to help ensure you get the right size of rollerblade for you based on your shoe size. The temptation is to get straight into them and out rollerblading but once you have the rollerblades on you should flex your knees slightly and take up some of the positions you will hold whilst skating to help wear them in before skating for hours at a time – or you could end up with sore ankles!

Here at Skates.co.uk we have rollerblades suitable for men, women and children in many styles. If you are new to rollerblading it may be a wise choice to buy rollerblades with a stopper, usually located at the back of the skate. We also stock a wide range of accessories such as light up wheels, skate bags and insoles. All our skates are a high quality at good value prices.
