Skates for beginners - a safe start to skating

Well-chosen inline skates for beginners are the key to learning to skate safely and progressing quickly. In Nils Extreme models you will find:

• a high, stable upper that holds the ankle and helps you maintain your balance;

• a three-step closure system - buckle, Velcro and laces - to keep your foot in the shoe;

• adjustable size, which allows you toadjust the skates to your child's growing feet and use them for several seasons.

For the youngest skaters, adjustable children's models such as the NA13808 or NJ1828 are perfect - they are lightweight, well ventilated and designed especially for the first steps on skates. Parents gain the reassurance that the equipment provides stability, while children gain comfort and a sense of security.

Inline skates with interchangeable skegs - year-round inline skates

Roller skateswith a removable skeg are a 2-in-1 or 4-in-1 solution: in summer, you skate on wheels on asphalt, in winter, the equipment turns into classic roller skates for the ice rink. Simply swap the aluminium roller skate ski for the hockey or figure skate ski included in the set.

This way:

• you do not need to buy separate roller skates and skates for your child;

• your child uses the same familiar shoe, reducing the familiarisation time with the new activity;

• one pair of equipment takes up less space in the wardrobe and is easier to take on a trip.

Examples such as the NH382 or NH10905 4-in-1 offer a durable shell, precise size adjustment and bearings and wheels suited to recreational riding. These are a great choice if you want your child or teenager to enjoy riding all year round - whatever the season.

Nils Extreme inline skates - quality for the whole family

Nils Extreme inline skates combine proven technical solutions with an attractive design. Aluminium skids, ABEC 7-9 class bearings and appropriately sized wheel diameters ensure a smooth ride and good speed control while minimising rolling resistance.

Depending on the model you will find:

• hard or semi-soft shoes - for those who prefer stability or more comfort;

• classic, recreational wheels ideal for cycle paths;

• designs adapted for faster or more dynamic riding.

The range includes children's inline skates, as well as models for young people and adults - many of which come in several colour variants and adjustable sizes, making it easy to match a pair to a particular user.

How to choose inline skates? Key criteria

Size and adjustability

For children and teenagers, size-adjustable inline skates work best. A button in the shell allows you to lengthen the boot by several sizes, so one pair will last for more than one season. It is a good idea for the toes to have a bit of slack after maximum adjustment, but for the heel to remain well stabilised.

Shoe type and fastening system

• A hard boot gives maximum stability and good ankle hold - ideal for beginners and children.

• A semi-soft shoe fits the foot better and improves comfort on longer runs - a common choice with adults.

The three-stage fastening system (buckle, Velcro, lacing) is a standard feature of Nils Extreme inline skates, providing a snug fit that reduces the risk of chafing and injury.

Wheels and bearings

The diameter of the wheels and the hardness of the rubber translate into the nature of the ride:

• smaller wheels (64-72 mm) - more control, smoother ride, ideal for children and beginners;

• larger wheels (e.g. 80 mm and above) - easier to maintain a higher speed, good for smooth surfaces and longer runs.

ABEC 7 or ABEC 9 bearings provide smoother wheel rotation, which will be particularly appreciated by those who ride more often and further afield.

Riding style and level of expertise

• For family rides and occasional skating, classic recreational skates will suffice.

• For those who like speed, fast skates with a longer skeg and larger wheels are better.

• For fans of dynamic riding between obstacles, slalom skates with a more manoeuvrable design.

Example configurations for children, teenagers and adults

For the child starting to ride:

adjustable children's inline skates (e.g. NA13808 COSMO or NJ1828) with a hard shell, smaller wheels and a three-step buckle. Such a set-up makes it easy to learn to push off, brake and turn, while growing with the child's foot.

For the teenager who wants to skate more often:

Nils Extreme recreational inline skates with a semi-soft shoe and wheels of around 80 mm - models like the NA2150, for example. This is a compromise between comfort and the ability to develop higher speeds on bike paths.

For the child who wants to ride on ice in winter:
inlineskates with interchangeable skid (e.g. series NH10905, NH18122, NH18331). In one set, you gain rollerblades for summer and skates for winter, which is ideal if you have limited space at home and budget.

For the adult who is looking for an alternative to running:

Recreational or speed skates with larger wheels and ABEC 9 bearings - such as the NA18812 or NA2150 series models. They are a good choice for longer routes on asphalt paths and in parks.
