Top products from r/Rollerskating

One of my first skates were the rookie forever rainbows, and they go for about 65 US dollars on amazon. I would totally recommend them for beginner skaters, as I had a great time rolling on them indoors and outdoors. The wheels are actually pretty good as well, not super gummy though, so it would be a bit tougher on crappy asphalt. Toestops could use a replacement, but they would be fine for a beginner who isn't using them everyday (I wore mine down pretty quickly from skating every day). Overall though, I would either recommend the rookie forevers, or a pair of rio rollers, which are very similar and have a low price point as well.

Happy skating!

Maybe too late, but I just got a pair of Candigirl Carlin's from Amazon for $100. Metal trucks, outdoor wheels, non-adjustable toe stop, cute colors like the Moxi skates. They have great reviews, mostly from other noobs, but I think they ride great so far and seem to have more padding than the Moxis. This is my first pair of skates ever and I'm in love. I wanted a more affordable option to the Moxis to make sure I would use the skates enough to justify the price of a 'better' pair later on.

Note: even though they say 'suede', it is a faux suede and faux leather lining. I can't really tell, tbh. It's not that cheap looking microfiber.

I don't have moxy lollys, but I just got these for my Chaya Ruby's and they're great. Stiffer than the insoles I usually get for shoes, but they hit my arch in a super satisfying way and give me the support I was missing. And the stiffness means I still feel in tune with my wheels/edges. I just pulled out the existing insole and used it as a template for how to cut these to fit.

After some internet searching and more discussion with mom, I think it's doable because I made an assumption that it turns out isn't true.

I assumed you wouldn't be able to find elastic of the right width with two pre-finished edges, and would have to cut down a larger piece and finish the edges yourself. I have since found some already finished that I think will work.

I found some elastic of a probably comparable width here (7 7/8" wide, they also sell 6") or on Amazon here (7 7/8", or 6" here). The back panel on my knee pads is 6.5" tall, and the back panel on my elbow pads are about just over 5" tall, but I have a size small set.

The type of elastic you'd need for the straps can be found here (on sale/clearance) or just about anywhere else. All of my pads use the same 1.25" wide strap, and that's a very popular size of elastic. I linked the cheapest/first google result.

With elastic that's the right size, the only sewing involved will be sewing the panels to the front of the pads, the straps to the panels, and the velcro to the straps.

When I bought my set a couple of months ago, I bought it here and they were cheaper with free shipping. It's not enough savings to pay for the fabric, but it helps.

We also double checked to make sure you can get the pads turned inside out, which you need to be able to do to sew on the back panels, and it's possible.

My mom asked where you live and said she'd do the sewing for you if you're nearby, so feel free to PM me even though that's a long shot. I can also get more measurements if you want them, like total strap length or whatever, or ask my mom any other questions.

I was searching for the post that explaind helmets and haven't found it yet but did follow links to this $19.99 helmet on amazon that appears to be suitable, for anyone who lands here after searching the sub for helmet info or for OP or whoever it might help.

I haven't tried it and don't know anything about it. Just saying, at first glance, looks suitable.

Uber stylish!

By the way, I read that those toe guards gradually slide to the side. Maybe switch to toe guards that tightly cover the toes? Moxi even makes that style in that color!

I got them from Amazon .
