The top fashion quad-skates right now

Fashion roller skates are more popular than ever, and here at SkatePro we ship out hundreds of fashion roller skates every week. We examined four of our top-selling roller skates currently. There’s something for every style.

Roller skates are incredibly fun to skate. They are more responsive than Inline-skates and have a retro feel that’s very popular right now. Usually, brands put a lot of effort into the design, and the four skates in this review are no exception. They offer a great opportunity to express your personal style through your skates.

Chaya Fashion Purple

The Chaya purple fashion skate features some nice elements usually seen in more expensive skates. Most eye-catching is the adjustable toe-stop, pre-mounted at a height suitable for most skaters. The wheels are quite big and soft, providing a smooth ride even on rough surfaces.

It’s a bit narrow in the toe area but nothing alarming. This is the main reason it doesn’t get an even higher comfort score.

“If I were to choose between these four skates, this would be my choice. I prefer the design of the Rio skate, but the adjustable and reinforced toe-stop makes it an easy choice,” says one of our reviewers.

Rio Roller Script

This vegan-friendly, figure-style skate with PVC leather construction is the design favorite among our reviewers. Color matching cushions, wheels, and tongue give it a unique look.

“The cushions are rather hard though, so when you become more experienced you will probably replace them with new ones. So if you want to keep the color coordination there is some work to be done to find matching cushions,” says one of our reviewers.

On the downside, our testers found the Rio skate to be very narrow, making it not the optimal choice for people with wide feet.

The toe-stop is non-adjustable and placed very high, making it a bit difficult to use as a brake. Overall, it’s a good beginner skate for those who prioritize color and style.

Tempish Classic

The Tempish classic is the only skate in this review that has an all-aluminum plate. It makes the skate very durable and stable. Most notable is the design of the padding inside the boot. It’s designed to hold the heel in place, a feature usually seen in more expensive skates.

“Tempish has really upped their game with this classic skate. From the four skates we are reviewing today, this is actually my favorite. Both in terms of design and overall impression,” says one of our reviewers.

The wheels are quite big and soft and equipped with ABEC-7 bearings, making them great for outdoor skating.

Again, our reviewers agree that the non-adjustable toe-stop is a downside to the overall experience.

Roces Classic

If you think of a classic side-by-side roller skate, chances are that an inner picture of the Roces Classic will pop up. This skate has a minimalistic look - all black and white and true to the retro look of the 1950s. The Roces Classic is our most popular roller skate at the moment. It’s a great beginner skate, but the popularity is mainly due to the low price combined with good quality.

The high ankle support combined with the hard cushions makes it very stable, which is optimal for new skaters. It’s pretty wide in the boot but can easily be tightened to fit everyone.

On the negative side, the Roces Classic is pretty hard in the materials. Combined with the small and hard wheels, it might be difficult to skate for several hours in a row on rough asphalt.
