Frequently Asked Questions

  • Are you a new to skating？

    If you are a new skater，and wanna break in a brand new pair of skates?
    Start step by step, do not skate for too long on your first days, make sure that there is no excess movement inside the skates as this can cause friction and blisters. Also consider using special skating socks to prevent blisters.

  • Recommend for kids,Fit tips and tricks

    1.Skate size:  
    Make sure that your skates are not too big or too small for you. When you bend your knees to the skating position your toes should not touch the front. In most cases, skating without innersole is preferred.
    2 Innersole
    Check the fit:Do you need an innersole? Is there enough room inside the skate, is your arch supported?
    3 Lock your heel into place
    Point your toe and the front of the skate upwards and hit the rear wheel to the floor, this will force your heel to the back of the skate. Bend your knees to push your heel to the rear of the skate and then tighten the 45° strap. If you fix your 45° strap while in the skating position your heel is locked in perfectly as your heel moves backwards when skating.
    4 Check the skate balance ,
    Do you flex to the inside or to the outside when standing? To fix this you can simply adjust the frame. If you are flexing to the inside then you should loosen the frame, slide the front part of the frame further to the inside of the boot and then tighten the frame again. If you flex to the outside then you should loosen the frame, slide the front part of the frame to the outside of the boot and then tighten it once again.
    5 Stride Control
    If your balance is still off then you may need “Stride Control” which allows for the extra angle that you are missing. Place the Stride Control wedges between your boot and frame. If you flex to the inside then put the higher side of the wedges on the outside mounting of the frame, and vice versa if you flex to the outside.
    6 Footies. 
    Do you have too much room inside your skates? Too much room makes your feet move inside the skate causing friction which results in blisters. If you have thin feet or pressure points, use footies in different thicknesses to fix these issues.
    7 New to skating. 
    Are you new to skating or do you need to break in a brand new pair of skates? Start step by step, do not skate for too long on your first days, make sure that there is no excess movement inside the skates as this can cause friction and blisters. Also consider using special skating socks to prevent blisters.
    8 Arch support
    Do you have flat feet or flat arches that make your feet bones fall to the inside? To give your foot ideal support and to enable it to stand straight you can add arch support or 3/4 innersole with arch support
    9 Ankle pressure. 
    Do you have pressure on your ankles? Try raising your heel with a shock absorber or a 3/4 innersole. This should take your ankle higher and out of the pressure zone. Again, taking the innersoles out might also help.
    10 How to lace your skates?
    Lace your skates tightly if you want more control, or keep them looser for more comfort. If you want more support make sure you lace all the eyelets up to the top. This will create less flex and more support.
    11 Cuff tight or loose?
    A looser cuff will give you more forward flex and that will help you to improve your natural stability. It will also strengthen your ligaments and muscles. If you tighten the cuff you will have better performance and reaction.
    12 Heat mold If you are still having issues:
    Heat mold your liner and/or skate to speed up the breaking-in time and to remove pressure points by re-distributing the interior lining or shape of the boot.

    Lace your skates tightly if you want more control, or keep them looser for more comfort. If you want more support make sure you lace all the eyelets up to the top. This will create less flex and more support.

  • If your balance is still off

    If your balance is still off then you may need “Stride Control” which allows for the extra angle that you are missing. Place the Stride Control wedges between your boot and frame. If you flex to the inside then put the higher side of the wedges on the outside mounting of the frame, and vice versa if you flex to the outside.

  • Do you need an innersole?

    Helping to solve fitting problems

    Where is the pain located?
    At the Malleolus (lower part of tibia or fibula bone) or the lower Navicular bone?
    Do you skate with or without an innersole?

    As the location of the ankle and other bones from person to person varies, it can be critical to adjust the height of your bones, especially when you have a skate which is made to be close fitting.     SOLUTIONS: 

    I. Pain on Malleolus
    - Use an innersole to take your Malleolus bone higher
    - If this is not enough, add a shock absorber (such as heel suspension or gel heel pad) on the heel or use a thicker innersole.

    II. Pain at the top of the Malleolus
    - Use skates without an innersole to bring your ankle lower

  • Do you have pressure on your ankles?

    Try raising your heel with a shock absorber or a 3/4 innersole. This should take your ankle higher and out of the pressure zone. Again, taking the innersoles out might also help.

  • Cuff tight or loose?

    A looser cuff will give you more forward flex and that will help you to improve your natural stability. It will also strengthen your ligaments and muscles. If you tighten the cuff you will have better performance and reaction.

  • Do you have flat feet or flat arches?

    Helping to Solve Fitting Problems

    Do you have “problem” feet, like flat feet, fallen arches or other issues?
    Is the pain on the inside or the outside of your foot? 

    This is a major factor for having pressure on the inside of the ankles, on the Malleolus part and Navicular (also problem on your knees and hips).

    SOLUTION:

    I. Use a good innersole with arch support 
    Foot with an innersole and arch support, the ankle bones not fall to the inside, 
    Foot without arch support. so ankle bones fall to inside.

    II. Use an extra arch support
    Flatfoot print Pronator Rolls to inside，
    Normal arch Neutral alignement，
    High arched print Supinator Rolls to outside 

  • Do you have too much room inside your skates?

    Too much room makes your feet move inside the skate causing friction which results in blisters. If you have thin feet or pressure points, use footies in different thicknesses to fix these issues.

  • Do you flex to the inside or to the outside when standing


    To fix this you can simply adjust the frame. If you are flexing to the inside then you should loosen the frame, slide the front part of the frame further to the inside of the boot and then tighten the frame again. If you flex to the outside then you should loosen the frame, slide the front part of the frame to the outside of the boot and then tighten it once again.

  • Do you fall to the inside or outside when skating?

    Helping to Solve Fitting Problem

    Do you fall to the inside or outside when skating?

    SOLUTIONS:

    I. If you fall to the inside

    - Move your frame to the inside step by step by taking advantage of the X-Slot mounting. We recommend setting the front a little more towards the inside than the rear part of your skate.
    - If the frame lateral movement is not enough, center your frame again and try using the Stride Control, putting the high parts ON THE OUTSIDE. If the problem is not solved, slowly move your frame again to the inside.

    II. If you fall to the outside
    - Move your frame to the outside step by step by taking advantage of the X-Slot mounting. We recommend you set the front little more inside than the rear part of the skate.
    - If the frame lateral movement is not enough, center your frame again and try using the Stride Control, putting the high parts ON THE INSIDE. If the problem is not solved, slowly move your frame again to the outside

  • Learn To skate and improve your skills with easy-to-follow, expert advice, Drills, techniques and skate tips

    A fresh, new year filled with new chances and opportunities! What do you hope to accomplish in 2023? If you’re hoping to improve your skating skills in 2023, here are 5 tips you need to do:
     
    Pick the right kind of skates for you. 
     
    This may take a little trial and error to figure out which kind of skates are best for you. Traditional roller skates, also known as quads, are the kind with two sets of wheels so they can stand on their own. Generally, it’s easier to balance on these than in-line skates. In-line skates, typically known as rollerblades, are the skates with the wheels in a line. Generally, they engage more commonly targeted muscles, require more exertion, and require more balance. Something else you should take note of is where the breaks are, because you will need them! Typically, roller skates have toe stops and in-line skates have heel stops.
     
    Wear the right socks.
     
    Everyone has a different preference when it comes to socks under skates, but typically wearing thick ones that at least come up to the end of your skates’ boots can help prevent blisters and make your skates more comfortable.
     
    Wear protective gear if you need it.
     
    Protective gear can include elbow pads, knee pads, wrist guards, and a helmet. Not everyone skates around in protective gear, but it can be great when you’re first starting on the rink or if you’re skating outdoors.
     
    Maintain your skates.
     
    If you own your pair of skates, it’s best to keep them in good condition. The major key is to keep your boots dry, so be sure to unlace them, move the tongue, and let them air dry everytime after you skate. Another important maintenance tip is to wipe down the entire skate every few weeks with a soft, damp cloth to keep everything nice and clean.
     
    Most importantly, have fun!
     
    This one is arguably the most important! It’s time to let loose, destress, and just have fun with Rock Skate. We can’t wait to see you soon!

  • What is the last master?


    A last is a mechanical form shaped like a human foot and used by shoemakers in the manufacturing of shoes, footwear and of course, skates. Lasts typically come in pairs and over the years have been made of a range of materials, including hardwood, cast aluminum and high-density plastics. Lasts are the heart and soul of every skate. Lasts are essential to delivering high-performance, responsiveness, fit, and comfort. Not just anyone can make a precise, perfectly constructed last At Rock we work with the most skilled, passionate, and talented people in the skating world and when it comes to designing and constructing the perfect last,

    - Inside and outside last must work perfectly together for optimal fit and comfort
    - Moulds around last to make the shell

    In the skate industry, there is a significant difference between the inside and outside last. The outside last is used to manufacture the shell or the “skeleton” of the boot while the inside last is used for the production of skate liners and during the lasting process when the upper portion of the boot (including the padding and inside lining) is pulled over the shell and firmly connected with glue to the shell, making the inside last smaller than the outside last.

    - Ankle

    It’s crucial that the malleole fit perfectly. This part is reworked with precision, designed to fit most skaters without causing pain or pressure points. Since every foot is a little bit different, this is a challenge for all skate manufacturers.

    - Achilles tendon

     The Achilles tendon is a key part of the foot, especially while inline speed skating. For fitness skating, skates tend to have a higher cuff providing more support and demanding less from the tendon. For speed skating, the more support created around this tendon the better it will be. It takes fine-tuning to find the limit without creating any pain for the skater. With a skate that offers a wide range of motion, the ankle tolerance is lower so it's crucial to focus on having a good technique and be precise with each stride.

    - Sole Shape

    The sole shape helps create a surface to push efficiently. A wider sole helps produce a powerful push and improves stability, but precision can be diminished. For inline speed skating, if your foot size allows, we recommend a narrow fit for better performance.


    - Arch

    The arch is also an important point for a last. People have different shaped arches and some even have flat feet, which creates challenges for last design. Arch support is important; proper arch support makes it easier for the skaters to balance, even on the outside edge. If arch support is lacking your foot might angle toward the inside edge.
