What Are Speed Skates?

Inline speed skates are crafted for confident and experienced skaters aiming for maximum speed. These skates prioritize speed and performance over comfort. They are distinguished by their large wheels and frames that extend beyond the boot. This design helps you achieve higher speeds more quickly.

Speed roller skates are snug with minimal padding, and this ultra-stiff design facilitates excellent power transfer. Inline speed skates are also longer than other skate types. This design offers more stability and enables skaters to reach higher speeds. Additionally, the lower-cut ankle boot gives them a shoe-like appearance while allowing for great motion and power transfer.

What Inline Speed Skates Should I Choose?

When choosing your skates, it is crucial to get a tight, snug fit. While your boots will come with wheels, many skaters prefer to customize these based on their style. Wheel sizes typically range from 90mm to 125mm, and the choice is yours.

Inline speed skates are generally used for racing over shorter distances. If you are looking to travel longer distances, consider getting a pair of Endurance Skates. Similarly, if you prefer to skate at a steadier pace, check out our Inline Skates designed for fitness and recreational skating.
