If you think your kids might love the freeing feeling of learning how to roller skate, it might be time to get them a pair. These days, there are lots of shapes and designs to consider, including traditional boots, hybridized modern models and even roller shoes.
Traditional Style
There are many kinds of skates on the market, but why not choose a classic? Travel back in time to a land before rollerblades took over to embrace the sport’s original competitive indoor boot shape and wheel placement. Choosing a funky colorway like holographic or rose gold adds a contemporary twist.
Laces and Velcro
These lightweight boots have a “padded collar” to keep your child’s feet feeling good.Text: Choosing a skate that has both laces and a Velcro closure around the ankle is a good way to make sure that there is comfortable, flexible support to roll with the unexpected bumps.
Show-stopping sneakers with wheels for kids have been the envy of adults for ages—and they’re a good way to see if your child actually enjoys this type of movement before investing in a more expensive pair of skates.
