Skating is one of the best sports we can practice practically all year round. Skating helps us to get in shape, gain agility, coordination, flexibility and, not least, improves our mood and self-esteem.
One of the main difficulties faced by a person who decides to start skating, apart from their doubts about what skates to buy, is a tight budget, especially in these times. This lack of knowledge and the belief that in a specialized skate store like Inercia you are not going to find cheap skates, makes you sometimes go to large supermarkets where you can surely find cheap skates but almost certainly of very poor quality.
That’s why we first want to completely eliminate that false belief that in a skate store like Inercia you can’t find cheap and quality skates. So we are going to give you a few practical tips to make the right choice for your cheap skates.
Buy cheap branded skates
Buying brand name skates is always a great idea. On the one hand, we will have the guarantee of having spare parts and, on the other hand, we will have the certainty that the product has passed quality controls. In many cases you can get skates imported directly from China, for example, which have not passed any European certification and do not have an official distributor in Europe, so the chances of having problems are certainly high.
We must add that there are brands that have sub-brands focused precisely on the cheap skate market, such as Rollerblade with its Bladerunner sub-brand, Powerside with Playlife or Flying Eagle with BKB.
If you have to buy cheap skates, better to buy them with a hard boot.
Nowadays there are mainly hard-boot and soft-boot inline skates of practically all ranges and brands. It often happens that cheap soft-boot inline skates have hardly any ankle support and go very badly. Who hasn’t seen that beginner skater skating with totally crooked feet on cheap skates bought in a department store? For this reason, it is better to go for a hard-boot skates that, even if they are simple, will hold the foot better.
Whenever possible, try skates before you buy them.
When we look for cheap skates on the Internet, we can find very interesting offers. Naturally, it is very tempting to take advantage of these offers, but if we do not know the anatomy of our feet very well and how they fit in a certain brand, we may be in for a surprise or two. It is not only a matter of sizing, but the last of the skate itself may not be compatible with the shape of our foot. So, whenever possible, try to go to our physical store and calmly try on the skates for a while.
Look for sale, outlet or sample skates rather than cheap, low-end skates.
It is often thought that the only way to buy cheap skates is to buy low-end skates. Fortunately, there are many more alternatives that can allow us to buy cheap skates and mid-range or even high. In Inercia we have skates on offer practically all year round that can be leftovers from other seasons. In this case it is not easy to find the most common sizes, but if your size is something special, you may be lucky! On the other hand, there are also very interesting offers on outlet, sample or exhibition skates. In this case, if we do not mind that the skates have a slight defect such as a small scratch or some discoloration from exposure, we can benefit from buying very cheap high-end skates.
