Many wonder if the perfect inline skate exists... But is a perfect skate possible? Those who have achieved this know the solution, you have to customize a skate to find the best setup. Because there are very few skates that offer all the desired characteristics in their original configuration. Whether it's the comfort of the liner, the shape or configuration of the frame, the size of the wheels or the performance of the bearings, there is always something that can be improved.
All skates can be personalized, in store or online
At Solo Inline, all skates can be personalized. The most important thing is to find a comfortable and durable boot, everything else can be customized afterwards. A simple and advantageous calculation formula is used. In summary, the original parts you wish to withdraw are credited at their market value and the cost of the desired parts is applied. This method allows you to only pay the difference in price of the parts because you get a credit for the parts you will not use.
Moreover, most original parts for skates can be found in our stock parts collection. You will find exclusive new parts which are generally not available individually and at very good prices. Also check out our Stock Parts blog post to learn more.

How to purchase a custom skate?
The programming of our website does not yet allow these functionalities to be integrated directly from the product page. On the other hand, by sending the choice of desired parts by email or live chat, a Solo Inline advisor can prepare a quote which will then be sent by email and which you can accept and pay directly online as a regular purchase. These submissions are generally sent in less than 24 hours, but we ask for a delay of 24 to 48 hours to respond to you.
