Main types of skates – Side-by-side & Inline skates

There are mainly two types of roller-skates. Side-by-side and inline skates.

Side-by-side roller-skates – Back to the '80s!

Side-by-side roller skates are built up a bit like a skateboard, with 4 wheels paired up next to each other. The side-by-side roller-skate has small, wide, and angular wheels. These roller skates are pushed forward by placing the toe in the ground and pushing forward. Side-by-side roller-skates are often associated with the 80s and 90s, where popularity for this specific type was at its peak.

Inline skates – Sporty lifestyle

Inline skates or regular roller-skates, as they are also called, got large wheels that are placed in front of each other. These roller-skates can be used by adults and children for everything from fun, fitness, tricks, and race. The boot must fit snugly around your ankle so that you have great support and do not fall inwards.

Side-by-side or inline skates – Which type is best for you?

Depending on your needs and what you prefer, one type is more for you than the other. Side-by-side roller skates are ideal for beginners and perfect for casual skating or roller-skating derby.
Inline skates come in many sub-categories and are usually faster and more for roller-skating sports. For example, racing, tricks, and maneuvers and/or fitness. However, inline skates can easily be used for fun and casual roller-skating as well.
