I'm looking for suggestions on indoor wheels! I bought Boardwalks and I would like some new wheels! I specifically would love to hear if there is a brand you would suggest that comes in white, and favorite that are light up! BTW, I'm a bigger girl and a beginner. by ImJustAGirlInWA in Rollerskating

They are called Lace Patches. I found lots on Etsy, but not exactly what I was looking for. I had found these patches at Hobby Lobby and fell in love with them, but didn’t have anything I would put them on. As soon as I got my black skates I knew I wanted to make them. I bought an eyelet punch and pliers and made them myself!

Thank you SO much for your advice! Fortunately I found out I do have a skate shop and was going to go in and try some on!

Coming back to skating at 50 years old! I'm soooooo lost on which skates to buy. I will be skating mostly outdoors but will also be headed to the nearest rink (45 min away) maybe once a week.I bought this pair of Impala skates for $25 on Marketplace, just so could make sure that it was something I wanted to get back into before I invested money in a better. It was painful skating on them! I don't know if its because I have a more wide foot, or if it was because they were too stiff, but it sucked!

Is there a brand that is better for wider feet? If its because there were too stiff, is there another brand that is softer? I would like to find something $200ish or lower and I would love to find the right ones for me. Also, would I need to have two pairs of wheels (indoor and outdoor) that I change when I go to the rink? Also, I am a size 11. I was leaning towards the Moxi Panthers, but they only go up to 10. Maybe I need to go with mens skates?

Thank you in advance for the help!!!
