Inline Skates/Rollerblades

- Fitness Skates: This style come in a high top and is the common, recreational style of roller blade.

Quad Skates
Traditional quad skates come in a variety of styles as well, such as:
- Outdoor Skates: These skates have a softer wheel and lace-up high tops to handle the uneven terrain of outdoor skating.
- Recreational Skates: When you come in to Skate World and rent skates, this is what you get. These are great all-arounds for indoor recreational use.
