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.

Smooth as silk

I got these cos I skate indoor rinks. Because I’m tall, these wheels lower my center of gravity and makes it a little easier to do stuff. Did I also mention they’re smooth as silk? Maybe it’s all in my head. Who knows? Love them!

These skates were well worth the wait! The boot is so comfortable while also being supportive. I had a custom package made up and I'm really happy with the plate/boot combo I've ended up with. There were a few hiccups due to lead times or shipping mixups with suppliers, but Double Threat worked with me to resolve them and make me the skates of my dreams! So happy with them, they are so responsive I feel like I have to learn all over again in the best way - its like going from a slow old banger to a race car!

Sure Grip Cushions Super 535

Fab! Well worth the low-cost upgrade

These are great! New to skating and changed to these cushions from the stock ones in my skates (Moxi rainbow riders) a few weeks into skating and it dramatically changed how I was able to skate. Before I was falling a lot because I didn’t have control of my edges, I had loosened the trucks but it wasn’t enough.

Definitely go by the weight guide for these first, as I was skeptical buying the second-hardest as I am tall but not overweight. And I was afraid they wouldn’t give much more movement, but I was wrong! I got the purple (85a) These were perfect. I imagine in the future I’ll play around with the softer ones but for now these are fantastic!

Service was amazing on my pick up too, lovely skate shop!

Very lively!

Powerdyne Magic Cushions. These are "soft". Went from very hard cushions on my derby skates - to these, they are super lively!! Helped me to learn that responsiveness in skates is to do with kingpin angle, cushion softness and tightness of trucks. No need to loosen trucks if you have these!

Push and pull

How I’ve lived without one baffles me. My palms and fingers are relieved. The product wasn’t in stock in the shop but no problem, it was ordered in and within a couple of days I picked it up.
Seriously, why did I wait this long to get one?!

I emplore everyone to purchase ar least one of these tees. Not only is it awesome, but it secretly harnesses the power required to become an 8 wheeled track warrior. I love it.

Game Changer!

Recently got back into skating and after struggling to get a good fit for my wide feet, I was introduced to WIFA and fell in love. Still early days so I didn't go (too) mad, but my turquoise Street Suede boots arrived and are a dream! Great quality, and have made skating more comfortable than I thought possible - a correct fit has had a positive impact on my skills too! Knowledgeable and friendly service from staff at Double Threat made it such a brilliant experience - I am new to all this and was nervous but they really put me at ease. Thanks so much! x

Great little bag

Double Threat ordered 2 of these in for me. They communicated throughout the process, letting me know when they would arrive and when to pick up. I am very happy with their service. They are great little bags for carrying my skates. I can fit in my pads as well.
