Where to buy roller skates?
danielle123
I'm a former rollerblader wondering if anyone has knowledgeable suggestions on where I can buy some not-too-ugly-looking roller skates. I went to www.skates.com and checked out a few pages but they seem to be made for 16 year olds with their fluorescent colors, etc. (What do those Gotham Roller Derby Club women use?)
I used to be an avid rollerblader in LA (11 years ago) but I don't find the NYC sidewalks and parks very rollerblader-friendly with all their potholes and the non-smooth blend of tar/rocks/cement that NYC uses.
Thanks for any suggestions and enjoy the beautiful weekend!

sjknollWhat size skate do you wear? I have a pair of barely worn (maybe 2 times) of blades that I could sell you. But it's a size women's 11. -
danielle123Size 8 (plus I'm looking for skates not blades). Thanks, anyway! -
rawParagon near 19th Street and Broadway in Manhattan. -
danielle123Raw - great suggestion! I never knew that Paragon sold skates. Thanks so much! -
mgTriangle Sports on Flatbush at 5th Ave has roller skates on the second floor. Hot pink wheels optional. -

Thanks. Who knew Amazon sold skates. However, all the women's skates on the site seem to have pink wheels. -

sweet teai just came across an old gotham girls program, which had an ad for this place http://skateguru.com/
they teach lessons -- including to some of the gotham girls, according to the ad -- and "sell skates at super rates". the website isn't so great, but it might be worth calling them. -
