Smooth Skating in the New Year

January 2, 2016 by TaylorB

Can your skates make it through another year? A good pair of roller-skates can last for years, but if you let them fall into disrepair, you might find yourself needing a new pair. Get a fresh start this year with these skate maintenance tips (and learn how to know if it’s time to replace your skates).

Do Your Skates Need Replacing?

Do your skates need a little TLC, or is it better to start fresh? Ask yourself these questions:

  • roller skate Are these skates too small? Pass them down to your next child and buy a new pair of skates.
  • Are the wheels or bearings rusted? Time for something new.
  • Are the boots cracked or warped? Head to the Pro Shop.
  • Is the liner broken down? Look into replacing the sole insert or buying a new boot.

Roller-Skate Maintenance

If your skates are still in good shape, we want to help them reach a healthy old age. Follow these skate maintenance tips from Wheels.

  • Store your skate in a dry location that’s around room temperature
  • Wipe down skates if they become wet
  • Check to make sure your skate trucks are secure
  • Adjust the toe stop for optimal braking
  • Make sure the bearings are loose and lubricated for a smooth rolling skate
  • Clean your wheels periodically to remove dirt build up
  • Replace skates that are pocked or dented from outdoor use

If your wheels, toe stop, or bearings become worn, don’t worry. You can replace a single component without buying a new pair of skates (unless you want to, of course!).
