Casual Shoes

Single-row roller skates are also called straight-row roller skates. To put it simply, all the wheels are in one line! According to different ways of playing single-row roller, skating shoes are divided into leisure roller skating shoes, freestyle slalom roller skating shoes, freestyle roller skating shoes, speed roller skating shoes, and aggressive skating shoes!

Leisure Roller Skating Shoes:

Leisure roller skates are generally beginners to choose roller skates, wheel size is the same or on both sides of the large middle small, comfortable to wear not abuse feet, more suitable for children to use, adjustable size, with heel brake!

It is suggested that the shelf of casual shoes should be aluminum alloy integrated. The wheel diameter is about 80mm, the hardness is 78-80A, and the bearing should not be lower than ABEC-5.

Freestyle Slalom Roller Skating Shoes:

Freestyle slalom roller skating shoes play is the freestyle slalom, speed slalom, and freestyle slide! The difference is that the four wheels of freestyle slalom roller skating shoes are not the same size, and the middle two are slightly larger! Generally speaking, novice beginners choose these two models above, and other forms of roller skates are too professional to be suitable for beginners!

Freestyle Roller Skating Shoes:

Freedom, in simple terms, is a combination of leisure and racing, as well as downhill and speed skating. It is very free and not suitable for beginners!

Speed Roller Skating Shoes:

The cuffs of speed roller skates are relatively short, the wheels are relatively large, and the carriage is much longer than leisure roller skates. The focus of speed roller skating shoes is very low, and the sliding requires stability and acceleration. There are international competitions. It is not recommended for novices!

Aggressive Skating Shoes:

Also called skill roller skating shoes, they are generally used for playing various stunts. The shoes are expensive and have a high-risk factor. They are not recommended for novices!

Important parameters of novice roller skates (leisure and freestyle slalom). Regardless of whether it is online or offline, we must pay attention to the parameters of roller skates: tool holders, wheels, bearings

Tool Holder

The tool holder of roller skating shoes is an important structure connecting the wheel and the shoe shell. Whether the knife holder is good or not determines whether the roller skating shoes are good or not. Good roller skating shoe tool holder is generally aluminum alloy integrated design, so it can be used for longer life and safer!

Wheel

The wheel materials of roller skates generally include plastic, resin, and polyurethane (PU). The first two are generally used in toy roller skates, and it is not recommended to start! Polyurethane is wear-resistant and heat-resistant and is more suitable for long-term sliding. Novices who choose wheels must choose polyurethane!

Bearings

The bearing is a metal object in the middle of the wheel, can help the wheel rotation! The new shoe bearing can not rotate quickly, because not slide open, not necessarily the quality reason! Bearings on the market are generally 608ZZ, and then 608ZZ has grades, ABEC1-9, the higher the grade, the finer the workmanship, and the higher the price, generally speaking, the recreational roller skates with the level is 3-5, 5 is a very basic roller skate bearing, 7 is generally used for adults entry! The other shell and tank need to try yourself to know comfortable or not, otherwise, it is useless to say no matter how good it is!

What Type of Roller Skates are More Suitable for Novices?

It is best to buy leisure roller skates for children. The wheels rotate slowly. Although they are not so flexible, they are suitable for children. The most important thing is that they have a brake function and are safer.

Adults are generally recommended to buy flat shoes, if you are a complete novice, casual shoes can also be started!

High/Medium Cuffs – Fast and Stable

It’s important to choose the right boots! If you don’t have much experience with in-line skating, you should choose skates with high/medium cuffs that provide support and stability.

Experienced skaters and professional speed skaters use low-cuffed boots, but to master and benefit from them requires a lot of time on the wheel.

Putting on a pair of medium/high-top boots may be even faster, as you use less energy to maintain stability and maintain the right posture. That means you have more power to push.

Different Wheel Sizes are Suitable for Different Purposes

If you want to make the most of your inline skates, you should think about “what do you want to do with your inline skates?”Planning on a long trip or even a marathon? You should consider buying a pair of roller skates with 110mm-125mm wheels. They accelerate quickly, can reach higher speeds, and are easy to maintain speed. Do you want to ollie punk and turn in the city? Such people should consider roller skates with 90mm-100mm wheels, which can more easily perform fast rotations with high levels of control.

Frame is Essential

It may seem a bit bookish to talk about frameworks, but in fact, it is very important. If you are looking for something easier to maneuver and make sharp turns around corners, choose a short frame. If you want to do long-distance or track sports, you should choose a longer frame because it can provide you with higher stability and allow you to drive fast without shaking.

Why Does the Foot Hurt when Roller-Skating?

Your skates are not properly installed or you are not used to skating. Mis-fitting skates can be too tight or too small, pressing on certain parts of the foot, or too loose or too wide, allowing your foot to rub against something. Or, putting pressure on the wrong part of the body can also cause injury (you may not be bending your knee properly). If you have any severe or persistent pain, then you should seek advice and help from a medical professional.

Skating is a sport from 0 to 1, from the stumbling and stumbling at the very beginning to the freely interspersing in the crowd in the back. Let us, who were originally dominated by skates, turn our back on our customers, learn to control the skates by ourselves, and feel a sense of accomplishment. But when you first learn to skate, you will face a painful thing: wrestling. But after overcoming this stage, after learning to skate, you will have a different feeling. Take my own example to illustrate, it feels like two words: freedom. When you use the soles of your feet, control the steering, and come and go freely, you will find that the world becomes smaller. In fact, this is freedom. Even a little sense of freedom can fascinate you. And skating is not only entertainment, but it is also a sport that can exercise the whole body.
