Why rent skates
The choice of equipment you use for any sport can make the difference between really progressing in skill level and enjoyment or deciding that a sport is not your cup of tea.
Roller skating is no different than having your own bowling ball and shoes, ski equipment or ice skates. If you wish to advance your abilities, it’s easier with your own skates.
When you first start out, renting skates is a good idea to make sure that this is the sport you want to participate in over and over. The rental skates at Sk8world in Portage Indiana are brand new and very comfortable. After a few visits, if you are loving the feeling of skating it might be time to get your own pair.

You could buy your skates at a big sports store or online and perhaps save a little but there’s a few things to consider.
Things to think about before buying your skates online:
- Are they the right skates for you?

- Who will adjust them when I need help?
