my Roller Skating Hobby...


 

Beware of a pretty miserable experience ordering online from Skates.com if you want an exchange or refund. They try to trick you into saying you tested them out outside, at which they refuse to exchange/refund you for them then not being new enough for resale, yet tell you to order one size smaller as they come from out of the country.

I suggest ordering your same size you are, and test the fit to your foot indoors on carpet. Thin skate socks are pretty pointless to getting as well. Skate boots above the ankle will cut in to your leg until you break them in, and actually could benefit from some kind of above ankle wrap to protect your lower leg area.

These are QuadLine roller skates. The name "quad" comes from 4 wheels like regular skates, or styled like the off-road quad, called an ATV, which have a better support for the foot, and precise turning control.

"Line" is from inline skates that have wheels lining the center of axis like ice skates, and have soft cushiony wheels that ride over bumps easy, go over grass and through water without rusting the bearings.

The two, "quad" and "line" are combined to bring the added control and tricks enabled like sharps turns, spinning, jumps, and yet be comfortable, as well as have both front stopper features which enhance hill climbing and fun air turns landing in a backwards skidded stop.

These wheels are dreamy because of how somewhat translucent they are. That means light shines through the wheels.
