Rio Roller Quad Roller Skates

Rio skates combine fashionable colour schemes—pastels, metallics and classic white—with functional features. Their boots use synthetic leather or PVC, providing durability and easy cleaning. The boots are padded with comfortable foam lining and paired with aluminium or composite plates that offer responsive manoeuvrability.

Yes. Many Rio models use vegan‑friendly synthetic materials. They’re ideal for skaters who prefer not to use animal products but still want a high-quality boot that looks like leather.

Rio skates typically feature 82A to 86A wheels sized between 58–62 mm. The medium-soft urethane provides enough grip and shock absorption for outdoor surfaces while rolling smoothly on indoor floors. LED light-up wheel options are available on some models for added fun and visibility.

Entry-level models use composite plates, which are lightweight and flexible. Higher-end models offer aluminium plates that increase power transfer and durability. Both plate types use standard 5/8″ toe stop mounts, allowing custom toe stop upgrades.

They generally follow standard UK shoe sizing. Some skaters size up for thick socks or down for a snug derby fit. Check the manufacturer’s size chart and, if possible, try them on before buying.

Absolutely. Their high-top boots offer support for newcomers, and the wheels and plates provide stability for learning to balance and turn. Kids and adults can confidently practice basic moves and cruising.

Rio skates are primarily recreational. For serious derby or artistic skating, choose boots with specialised construction and stiffness levels. However, Rio skates are great for casual dancing and fitness skating.

Wipe the boots with a damp cloth, dry them thoroughly and store them away from moisture. Rotate wheels to ensure even wear, clean and lubricate bearings regularly and replace toe stops or wheels when worn out.
