Inline Skates vs rollerblades
Roller skating is so much fun. But if you are new to roller skating, or just coming back to this great hobby after decades away, then you might be confused on which type of skates you should choose. So, let's get started.

Number 1.
Rollerblades
First, Rollerblades are technically a type of inline skate. Therefore, you will see the term rollerblades and inline skates used synonymously. Rollerblades are a roller skate with a single axle running down the length of the boot. The 3-5 wheels then slide into the skate plate and are secured in place with a long axle nut. Most rollerblades have a high-top firm boot and a brake on the back of the right skate.

Number 2.
Inline Speed Skates
Inline speed skates are a special skate used by competitive speed skaters. Like rollerblades and other inline skates, inline speed skates have a single axle with 3-4 wheels that slide into the axle and are secured with a long axle nut. These skates have a very short low-cut boot to make it easier for the speed skater to dig into their turns.

Number 3.
What is the difference between them
If we compare inline speed skates to rollerblades, then most rollerblades have a high-top boot and slightly wider wheels. The larger boot and wider wheels makes skating in rollerblades easier than on inline speed skates. Inline speed skates, on the other hand, have thin, very tall wheels (100mm-130mm) that are best for speed. They also have very short low-top boots that come under the ankle bone. This makes it easier for competitive speed skaters to dig deep and keep their speed up going around corners.

Number 4.
Which is best for outdoors
If you are more experienced, then it really comes down to personal preference and what you want to do with your skates. If you are an outdoor hockey player, then you are going to most likely be on rollerblades. If you are an outdoor speed skater, then you are undoubtedly going to be on inline speed skates. When you get good at roller skating, you really just start to see skates as the makeup of all of their parts – wheels, bearings, boots and plates. You then start to use the right skate for its best purpose as stability and fear of injury lessen.

Figure Skating on Roller Skates as well as dancing is easier with the wheel set-up being under your foot as opposed to stretching outward.
