Are Chicago Skates Good for Outdoors?

Some are. Chicago skates are rink skates first, and one of the Chicago skates we carry is made for both indoors and out.

Chicago Skates That Work Outside

The Chicago Kids Rink Skate has urethane wheels that Chicago makes for indoor and outdoor skating. It comes in kids sizes J10 to J13, then 1 to 4.

The Chicago Bullet is a speed skate made for the rink, and that is where it feels best. For a lot of outdoor skating, softer outdoor roller skate wheels make any quad skate smoother.

Where to Skate Outside

Start on smooth pavement: a driveway, a tennis court or a smooth sidewalk. Soft wheels ride over cracks and rough pavement more easily than hard rink wheels. Stay off wet pavement, since water is hard on bearings.

What Size Should I Get?

Chicago skates run big, so most skaters order one size down. More here: Do Chicago Roller Skates Run Big?
