1. We are owned and run by skaters!

Ain't no-one as passionate and caring about skating as we are! We have been deep in the skate community for over 17 years as skaters and are widely respected in our skate circle. So we absolutely have a vested interest in giving you an excellent experience as well as excellent skates! This also means we know lots of stuff about rollerskates too. We have a HUGE amount of accumulated knowledge - we're basically walking encyclopedias!

2. We have a physical store as well as online

You can try on boots and skates as well as look at products in person AND speak to a real live human. Our specialty is our skate fitting service where we spend a whole heap of time with you getting the right fit. In fact sometimes customers spend upwards of 3 hours choosing their dream skates!

3. Our stock

We are like an Aladdin's Cave of rollerskates! We have full fitting stock of most of our major brands and unique access to many more products that we can custom order in for you. We often operate as a J.I.T (Just In Time) business which means we keep small amounts of stock in the shop and re-order in often. This means we can constantly update our products, getting in the latest things for you and we're not sitting on huge amounts of old products. If you don't see something on our site but know it exists....contact us and we very well might get it in for you! All our online orders are fulfiled from the stock we have at our physical premises, so we always know what's available. In order to be able to carry as many items as possible and give you the most amount of stuff to choose from, some things we order especially in for you at the point of purchase.

4. Our Distance Fitting Service

Created in 2019, we realised we had many UK customers who simply couldn't get in to see us. So we started this service where we can send multiple sizes of skate boots to you to try on at home, then once you've decided we mount them up and you got yourself a new pair o' rollerskates. This has been super successful in getting the right fitting boots for our customers across the country.

5. Postage tracking, Easy Returns and Exchanges

We send all our items tracked and our system sends you an email with the tracking number so you know exactly when to expect your order. We have a returns and exchanges portal accessible from your customer profile on our website which enables you to request returns and receive returns labels via Royal Mail or Parcelforce.

6. Personalised Website Content and Product Knowledge

Since day 1 we have always photographed our products in house against our iconic DTS back drop. We want you to know that we have physically looked at and tested most products in our store. When we get new products in, we can then write about them from experience. You'll find our product descriptions, blogs and FAQs full of personalised content rather than just cut and pasted from the manufacturer's website.

7. Savant-level dedication to knowing stuff

Want to know if that wheel will fit that axle? Which plate size will fit that boot? Which wide truck is compatible with which plate? Which boot you will fit based on what your current boot is despite the sizing being wackadoodle different? We can tell you because we have spent years worth of our time collating information, creating spreadsheets and compatibility charts.

8. We're Great When We Make Mistakes!

We can't get it right all the time but we reckon the mark of a great business is being able to get it right when we've got it wrong. Rest assured you won't need to get stern with us and start a fight to get a wrong righted. We want to make sure you'e happy so don't worry if you need to tell us we did a boo-boo!

9. We're Inclusive!

We are woman and queer owned. We are big fans of the LGBTQ+ folk, we are trans-inclusive and anti-racist. We support many local community groups and are a welcoming and safe space for those who belong to marginalised communities.

10. Free Stuff!

Everyone likes free stuff right? We always include goodies in your online orders and when we send your gear out.

I wanted to order these a couple of months ago, but they were showing out of stock. I rang and explained they had been showing out of stock for a couple of months. Customer service was great. Something was changed in the background to enable me to place my order. They arrived about four days later. I changed my barrel hard cushions to a combination of barrel and conical softer cushions which is why I needed smaller cushion cups. Really pleased at how the cushion cups fitted, were easy to fit and have really started to help with lateral movement. I just wish I had phoned sooner to get them on order.

Great fit, very comfortable and secure

The helmet feels solid and secure in it's fit with the soft foam cushions being comfortable. The cushions stay in place and compared to my last helmet this is quite a few notches better!

Outstanding!!

Double Threat are the best! They very kindly helped me pick out these skates as a step up from my previous pair, and they are fantastic. Cannot sing enough praises for both these skates and the lovely folks at Double Threat.

Just as I imagined...

I'd been looking at Moxi skates since I discovered Estro Jen's content on YT during pandemic. This year I found they could be shipped but the taxes were eye-wateringly high. The partnership between Isle of Skate and Double Threat led me to discover my perfect Moxi pair here in the UK! And a colour not available from the US. On top of all this they are technically superb. I'm very very happy with them.

They're gorgeous!

I've had a few skating classes with them now, and they're so comfortable and cute! Seriously look forward to wearing them between classes. They've got good ankle support and overall feel really sturdy :) deffo recommend

Perfect for outdoor skating!

I bought these wheels as my skates couldn't fit Airwaves and I was looking for something with a similar performance. These wheels definitely fit the bill, they're great for street skating, much smoother than my old wheels and glide over debris I would once trip over. I can cover a greater distance faster now thanks to their size but they're not so big that I can't manoeuvre well in them. They also come in really nice colours, the lilac ones are gorgeous! These wheels have given me so much more confidence for street skating, highly recommend!

Took me a moment to adjust to playing roller derby in great derby appropriate skates (I was using my healed dance skates for ages) but I am soooo in love with them! Super comfy and fitting service was great as decent skates aren’t cheap. There’s no leaving the roller derby world now, that’s for sure! Thank you!
