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.

These are an order-in item only. We order these in from Chaya, with a wait time of approx. 3 weeks

The Chaya Melrose Elite Love is Love is a roller skate with a mission and a purpose. In respect of the LGBTQ+ community and support of its movement, we bring you this attractive and vibrant rainbow-themed skate. Stand out from the crowd and show your support by rocking this delightful setup. You will be happy to know that your purchase is also helping support the cause. Chaya cooperates with a well-known non-profit organization which is a global movement for love and equality, mobilizing thousands of people to build a world where no person will have to sacrifice their family or freedom, safety or dignity, because of who they are and/or who they love. With this skate you support two movements at the same time - LGBTQ+ and PETA, the world's largest animal rights organization!

The Chaya Melrose Elite Love is Love skate benefits from a padded high-cut vegan boot for superior comfort, the strong Chaya logo outsole, our fiberglass reinforced Chaya Shari plate, cool-looking 62mm/78A Chaya Love is Love (Limited Edition), WICKED ABEC 7 bearings and our much-cherished Controller toe stop. This combination makes for an extra smooth, extremely comfortable, and very responsive ride. This is THE roller skate for long summer days cruising at the beach with friends and for dancing late into the night. It's time to roll on the rainbow with the Chaya Melrose Elite Love is Love skate. 

SIZING: We reckon these are fairly true to your UK shoe size (depending on if you wear your shoes snug or loose!). If you want a snug fit that may require a little break in time, choose your UK shoe size. If you would prefer a more 'comfortable' fit straight off the bat, then select a size up. Please note these will stretch out over time as most skates do.
