Shipping Costs

The shipping costs for our rental equipment are calculated individually.

Please contact us before or after placing your order to confirm the shipping costs and discuss further details.

Below are three examples:

1x pair of roller skates/inline skates, including packaging, weighs between 3.5 and 4.5 kg.

• The shipping costs within Germany for a 10kg package are approximately €10. Return shipping via us costs €8 per package. Thus, the total cost for shipping and return of 2 pairs of roller skates would be around €18.
• The shipping costs within Germany for a 30kg package are approximately €22. Return shipping via us costs €8 per package. Thus, the total cost for shipping and return of 2 pairs of roller skates + 2 pairs of inline skates, including protective gear, would be around €30.
• The shipping costs for larger quantities, such as 50 pairs of roller skates for a roller disco, can vary significantly depending on the selected shoe sizes and the mix of roller skates for children and adults.

To make sure you choose the correct size for your new recreational and lifestyle roller skates, we have put together some important information and tips below.

Take the time to read our size guide and find the right size first time. If you still have any questions, please feel free to contact us at any time.

• In short: Your barefoot foot length plus 5 mm for a performance-oriented fit or 10 mm for greater comfort must not exceed the stated mondo size of the skate (shown as “Mondo” in our shop, e.g. 26.6 cm).
• Skate width: You can find the width of each model in the short description or product specifications. We distinguish between five categories: very narrow, narrow, medium, wide and very wide.

Choosing the Right Skate Size

If you are not yet familiar with the brand or model of a recreational or lifestyle roller skate, there is only one truly reliable size measurement: the mondo size. In our shop, this is stated either in millimetres (mm) or centimetres (cm).

You can find the mondo size both in the size chart included in the product images and directly in the size selection.

How to measure your foot length correctly

Your barefoot foot length plus 5 mm for a performance-oriented fit or 10 mm for greater comfort must not exceed the stated mondo size of the skate (shown as “Mondo” in our shop, e.g. 26.6 cm).

Example:

1. Measure your foot length while barefoot. Stand with your heels against a door frame or a straight wall without a skirting board. Do not trace around your foot. Instead, slide an object with a straight edge, such as a box or chopping board, up to your longest toe. Then measure the distance between the wall and the object.
2. Add an allowance of 5 to 10 mm to your measured foot length, depending on the thickness of your socks and your preferred level of comfort.
3. The result must not be greater than the stated mondo size of the selected skate size.

If your foot measures 26.0 cm, adding 5 mm for maximum performance results in a required internal length of 26.5 cm.

If size EU 41 has a mondo size of 26.4 cm, it is 1 mm too short. In this case, you should choose size EU 42.

Trying them on: When standing with your legs straight in your fully laced and fastened skates, your toes may lightly touch the front of the outer shell. However, they should neither press against it nor be curled.

In the typical skating stance, with your knees bent forwards and positioned roughly above your toes, there should be a few millimetres of space between your toes and the front of the outer shell. Your toes should not touch the shell in this position.

Choosing the Right Fit and Skate Width

Under “Fit” in the product specifications or short description, you will find information about the width of each skate.

We distinguish between five categories:

• Very narrow
• Narrow
• Medium
• Wide
• Very wide

You should only choose a very narrow or narrow fit if you are certain that you have very narrow feet. These fits may also be the right choice if maximum control and an especially secure fit are more important to you than comfort.

A pronounced foot arch can often be identified by a strongly crescent-shaped footprint, for example, when walking across the floor with wet feet. In this case, your foot width is probably in the medium range.

If, on the other hand, you have flatter feet and leave a less crescent-shaped or almost complete footprint, you probably have wider feet.

How to measure your foot width correctly

Example:

If your bare foot measures approximately 26 cm in length and 11 cm in width, as shown in our illustration, it tends to be on the wider side.
As every skate fits differently, this information is intended only as a rough guide.

The following points are also particularly important for recreational and lifestyle roller skating:

• Choosing the correct size for your recreational and lifestyle roller skates is essential to ensure optimal control over your skates, including when performing tricks such as slides or airs.
• In the typical skating stance, there should be some space between your toes and the front of the outer shell. This clearance is important because your foot may slide slightly forwards inside the skate during slides, airs or sudden stops. If the skate is too short or your foot is not held securely enough, your toes may hit the outer shell and cause severe pain.

Care Instructions for Skate Bearings:
How to Make Them Last Longer and Run Smoother

Bearings are the heart of every skate – they ensure a smooth ride and directly affect your speed and control. But like all mechanical parts, bearings need regular care to maintain performance and prevent premature wear. In this post, we’ll show you what to look out for when caring for your bearings and how to clean and maintain them properly.

1. Why Is Bearing Maintenance Important?

Skate bearings are constantly exposed to dirt, moisture, and friction during use. Without regular cleaning, they can:

• run more slowly
• start to squeak or seize up
• rust or get damaged faster
• ultimately shorten the lifespan of your skates
• With proper care, you can not only extend the life of your bearings but also improve your performance.

2. When Should You Clean Your Bearings?

A good rule of thumb:

• After every session in wet or dirty conditions
• Every few weeks with regular dry use
• Immediately if they grind, make noise, or don’t spin smoothly

3. How to Clean Your Bearings – Step by Step

What you’ll need:

• A bearing remover or axle
• Cleaning container (e.g. screw-top jar or bearing cleaning kit)
• Cleaning fluid (isopropyl alcohol, acetone, or bearing cleaner)
• Tweezers or fine needle
• Cloth or paper towels
• Lubricant (e.g. skate oil or grease)
• Gloves (optional)

• Step 1: Remove Wheels and Bearings
  Use a skate tool or Allen key to remove the axles and take out the wheels. Carefully remove the bearings – ideally with a bearing remover or by gently prying them out using the axle.

• Step 2: Remove Shields
  Most bearings have a rubber shield (sealed bearings), which you can gently lift out with a needle or tweezers. Be careful not to damage them – you’ll need them later.

• Step 3: Clean
  Place the bearings in the cleaning container and fill it with the cleaning fluid. Shake the container for a few minutes or let the bearings soak overnight. Then let them dry thoroughly on a cloth.

• Step 4: Lubricate
  Apply 1–2 drops of skate oil to each bearing or use a bit of grease. Important: Don’t use too much lubricant, as it attracts dirt again.

• Step 5: Reassemble
  Put the shields back in place and reinstall the bearings in the wheels. Then mount the wheels back onto your skates – done!

4. Extra Tips for Bearing Maintenance

Never clean with water:

• It promotes rust. Always use appropriate cleaning agents.

Don’t skate on dry bearings:

• If they sound dry, lubricate them immediately.

Avoid rust:

• Try not to skate through water or wet leaves. If you do, clean and dry the bearings right after.

Store bearings dry:

• Don’t leave your skates in damp basements or car trunks.

5. When Should You Replace Your Bearings?

Even with proper care, bearings don’t last forever. If they are:

• loud
• rough
• loose
• or no longer spinning freely

it’s time for new ones.
For intense skating, it’s worth investing in high-quality bearings like ABEC-7, ABEC-9, or Swiss bearings.

Conclusion

With a little effort, your bearings will stay durable, quiet, and fast. Regular cleaning and lubrication save money in the long run and make skating more enjoyable. Whether on the ramp, in the park, or on the street – well-maintained bearings are the key to top performance.

Tip: In our online shop, you’ll find not only high-quality bearings but also the right cleaning accessories and lubricants – everything you need for perfect bearing care.
