Buying tips
- Get measured in person. Skate sizing varies by brand, and many run differently from your shoe size.
- Match wheels to where you'll skate. Harder wheels suit rink floors; softer wheels handle KC's trails and sidewalks. See our outdoor skating guide for where to roll.
- Buy in person for free setup. Legacy installs bearings, wheels, toe caps and more for free when you buy in the shop.
- Call ahead. River Roll, Rink Ratz and Northland don't post live inventory, so call before you drive.
