Rollerblades Weight Limit

Should you size up or down in roller skates?

What is important is that the skates have a firm fit around your feet without being too tight nor too loose.

Either way, it is always a good idea to try your roller skates on at home.

Should skates be tight or loose?

I (usually) recommend that players lace their skates snugly through the middle part of the foot (the part of the foot that needs the most support), but that above the ankle (the top eyelet of the boot) they should keep them somewhat looser. More advanced skaters may choose not to lace the very top eyelet.

How do you not fall when roller skating?

While just standing in your skates, practice lowering your bottom to the ground. Later while rolling, you can regain balance or simply fall more gently, by lowering yourself closer to the ground. The single easiest way to prevent falling is to hold a hockey stick and use it as a crutch when necessary.
