Impala's line of 70's inspired Rollerskates are Instagram ready and are fully PETA approved vegan-friendly! The brand has rocked the Rollerskating world with its trendsetting styles and colours, and the Impala Quad Skates - Black are no different.
The PVC upper gives optimal support around the ankle, providing an all-round balanced feeling. Impala achieved effortless fitment with a wide boot foot opening to accommodate multiple foot shapes and sizes. The sponge foam tongue keeps the foot nice and snug and gives extra comfort. The long-lasting PU stopper allows "grab free" braking.
58mm 82a wheels and Abec 7 bearings provide a smooth ride, whilst the slightly smaller wheel size keeps centre of gravity low, which is more controllable. The wheel hardness is perfect for both indoor and outdoor usage.
The hollow-cast aluminium plate sits under the boot, provides stability with responsive turning. The bushings can be tightened or loosened to taste, making the skate more or less manoeuvrable. We recommend keeping them tight for beginners.
Important Note: The Impala women's EU>UK size conversion shown on their labels and packaging is unconventional and confusing. To counter this, we have listed EU and US sizes only. UK customers please choose the regular EU size you'd usually expect to fit. (Please note: EU sizes are always 'Unisex')
Size Tip:
When ordering based on your usual EU or US size you can expect these skates to fit 'true to size' (ie no need to buy a size higher or lower than you would usually buy in shoes).
