If you love skating as much as us, you’ve probably considered buying your own skates. If you’re still on the fence, check out the pros and cons of buying skates below.
Renting
Renting is a great way to try out quad skates and inlines without needing to make a costly investment. When you rent from us, you don’t have to clean, maintain, or store your skates. If you’re considering getting skates for your children, renting is a great option so that they don’t outgrow their skates as fast as you can buy them!
Of course, when you rent, you’ll be more limited by what’s available, and you’ll have to pay each time you use them.
Buying
If you skate a lot, buying your own pair of quads or inline skates might be right for you. When you buy from our Pro Shop you can get the exact size, look, and features you want. This freedom is great for more seasoned skaters looking for more precision and customization.
The major downside of renting is that buying might be more expensive than renting (depending on how much you skate). There is also a time and cost commitment to maintaining your own pair of skates.
