To buy, or not to buy? Typically, there comes a time in any skater’s life when they have to ask themselves that question.  And typically, that answer will almost always be a huge “BUY!” Renting roller skating rinks every time you visit the rink isn’t that expensive individually, it does add up quickly over time. If you love to skate, you’ll certainly get your money’s worth and your investment will pay off!

Pros of buying your own roller skates

Saving money is definitely a huge pro of having your own pair of skates since you will no longer need to pay the rental fee each time you come to skate! Another pro is you can find specialized skates that fit the way you like to skate. You can also express your personal style with your skates! Skates offer so many options for customizations that you can create your own unique pair of roller skates.

How to choose which roller skates to buy 

There are several factors you should consider when choosing which pair of roller skates to buy. First, think about what type of skating you enjoy. Are you into dance skating or are you a speed demon? Do you want to learn how to own the rink? Or do you dream of playing roller derby? Skating is a sport, and just like any other sport you need specialized gear. The type of skating you plan to do will heavily inform what type of skates you should buy.
