How Adjustable Skates Work

 

Inline skates have been popular for generations, and today’s youth is no different. Kids of all ages enjoy cruising through the neighborhood on a set of flashy wheels that they can customize and adjust all on their own. Crazy Skates, your reliable online store for inline and roller skates, is proud to offer top-of-the-line adjustable skates that are made to fit kids of all sizes. 

How Adjustable Skates Work

Today, we are going to explain how adjustable skates work, the best way to determine proper sizing, and other safety tips for inline skates that you and your child should know about. 

Skates for Small Children

The most common pairs of adjustable skates are those that are made to fit children and toddlers. They typically come with a velcro strap that can be tightened or loosened depending on the size of your child’s feet. This is also a great way to adapt to the random growth spurts your child will experience as they get older. Instead of having to buy a new pair of skates every time their feet get a little bigger, you can just keep readjusting the velcro strap to keep them secure at all times. 

How to Adjust Skates and Inlines

There are two major types of roller skates that we sell to adults and kids alike: inline skates and quad skates. Inline skates are designed with the wheels in a straight line, which can make skating much easier for young beginners. Quad skates are more common and are often made in additional sizes that adults can wear as well. Make sure you know your child’s foot size and activity level before adjusting the size of the skates accordingly. 

Choosing the Right Skates for Your Child 

There are so many stellar skating options to choose from that it can be overwhelming when trying to find the perfect gift for your child. If your kid is into sports, you may want to invest in a pair of skates that can handle a lot of wear and tear. Younger children might have more fun with a simple pair of skates for beginners. 

Here’s a quick guide to help steer you in the right direction: 

• Consider the type of skating. Is your child looking to join a sports team and they need a reliable pair of skates to get them through the season? You might want to find a pair with plenty of features attached to it. You should also consider headgear and protective body pads. 
• Try a size up. If your child is on the cusp between two different skate sizes, get the larger size. Children grow fast, and they will be ready to perfectly fit into the larger pair of skates before you know it. 
• Measure your child’s foot size. Skates should match your child’s shoe size, so it is easy to find the proper pair of skates. Skates should feel comfortable yet snug, gripping the feet just enough to provide support without crushing them. Similarly, skates should not be too big or loose as that can cause an injury. 

Our skates are built to last a long time. No matter your child’s age, activity level, or skating interest, they are bound to have a transformative time outdoors with the right pair of skates. And when they fit just right, they can provide weeks and even months of entertainment before they need to be replaced.
