Thinking about buying your own skates? Whether you’re shopping for your little one’s first pair or finally upgrading your own, choosing the right roller skates makes all the difference.
At Rainbow Rink in North Tonawanda, we see all kinds of wheels roll through our doors, and we’ve got the scoop on the best roller skates for kids and the must-have adult roller skates for 2025.
Best Roller Skates For Kids
When it comes to kids, comfort and support are everything.
Look for roller skates that offer:
- Adjustable sizing – Perfect for growing feet
- High-top boots – Great ankle support for beginners
- Velcro straps or laces – Keep feet secure and snug
- Soft wheels – Better grip and control on indoor rinks
Some popular beginner-friendly brands include Roller Derby, Chicago Skates, and Candi Girl (for a little extra flair). Don’t forget to pair their new wheels with proper safety gear like helmets and pads. It’s the best accessory combo for confident skating!
