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.

🛠️ Custom Trainer Skate Build Services 🔧

📢This is for any non-standard rollerskate boot - trainers, shoes, etc, that need aluminium insoles for re-enforcement. If you have a standard rollerskate boot or an ice boot, have a look at our other services.

✉️ Email for Expert Advice: Got specific mounting needs or need advice before purcahsing? Drop us an email at info@doublethreatskates.co.uk. We highly recommend you get in touch with us first before purchasing this so we can discuss the shoes and components and let you know how to get the shoes to us.

🕒 Mounting Availability: Unfortunately, we can't offer same-day mounting right now due to our busy schedule. Wait time for all mounting jobs is between 1-2 weeks. 

📦 How to Bring or Send Your Shoes and/or Plates:
You can either bring your plates into the shop or post them to us - whichever suits you best!

🛠️ What's Included:
All skate build services come with a mounting kit (nuts n' bolts for fixing plates). Trainer builds include an aluminum insole, adding integrity to the sole. If you are doing a re-mount using insoles you already have, whether we can use it or not will depend on where the mounting holes are. We will likely also need to fill the old holes in your trainers. DOES NOT INCLUDE ANY COMPONENTS - YOU WILL NEED TO CHOOSE THESE.

👟 Custom Mounting - Specialized for Your Unique Setup:
If your setup is not a standard skate boot with a skate plate (e.g., mounting to trainers/shoes), there's a higher charge. This is because there are often weird eccentricities with trainers - coz guess what - they are not made for drilling a rollerskate plate into!

Precision Matters - Your Skates, Your Way!
🎯 Specific Preferences? Let Us Know:
We pay close attention to mounting plates to boots, considering factors like size and shape. If you have specific preferences, inform us before mounting.

🔄 Re-Mounts and Potential Gluing:
Re-mounts might involve gluing old holes. While it might not look perfect, rest assured it won't affect performance or boot longevity.

Trainer Mounts - Not Always a Perfect Art!
👟 Symmetry vs. Nature of Trainers:
Trainer mounts might not achieve perfect symmetry due to the nature of some trainers. Perfection may not be 100%, but you should feel symmetry when you skate.

🚫 No Guarantees for Trainers:
Trainers aren't built for rollerskating, so we can't guarantee structural integrity or mount longevity. Manufacturer warranties for plates and other components will be void for non-standard use.

🔄 Re-Mounting Old Skates Warning:
Re-mounting plates on very old, used, or 'vintage' skates might encounter issues like rusty bolts or glued soles. Just a heads up!

If any boots require removing rivets, that falls under the 'custom mount - ice conversion (includes blade removal)' product.

Please note: While we are always careful, we cannot guarantee plate mounting without the plates being marked.
