INLINE SKATES FAQS

  • What are inline hockey skates?

    Inline hockey skates are designed for fast, agile movement on indoor or outdoor surfaces. They feature:

    • A reinforced boot for ankle support
    • A chassis with 3 or 4 wheels
    • Durable bearings and wheels suited for sport court or asphalt

      They differ from recreational skates by offering better lateral support, stiffness, and responsiveness.

  • What’s the difference between inline hockey skates and ice hockey skates?

    Inline skates use wheels instead of steel runners
    Boots are similar in stiffness and fit to ice hockey skates
    Inline skates are designed for dry surfaces like sport court, concrete, or asphalt

    Some players use inline skates for off‑ice training to mimic on‑ice movement.

  • How should inline hockey skates fit?

    A proper fit should feel:

    • Snug in the heel and ankle
    • No heel lift or side-to-side slop
    • Toes just brushing the toe cap

      Inline skates often fit 1–1.5 sizes down from UK shoe size.

    Wllies offers expert fitting in-stores and online sizing help.

  • What wheel setup should I choose: Hi-Lo or straight?

    - Hi-Lo setup (e.g., 76/80mm): Offers better agility and acceleration, common in Bauer and Mission skates

    - Straight setup (all wheels same size): Offers more stability, often used in CCM skates

    Your choice depends on your skating style and surface.

  • What surfaces are inline hockey skates made for?

    Indoor wheels: Softer (74A–76A), grip better on sport court or tile
    Outdoor wheels: Harder (82A+), resist wear on concrete or asphalt

    Some skates come with hybrid wheels for mixed use — Willies stocks both types.

  • Are inline hockey skates heat mouldable?

    Yes — most mid‑range and elite inline skates are thermoformable, meaning they can be heat‑moulded for a custom fit. Willies offers in‑store baking for Bauer, CCM, and Mission skates.
