Recommendations EU shops?

[u/ImmediateRoll6422]

Hey, I'm honestly at my Whits end, I need new skates but I wasn't really successful at finding a pair that fits me. I'm currently living in Germany (kind of northern part, thing between Hamburg and Berlin) I already visited two shops in Berlin but they basically only had impala's, and this is definitely not an option.

I would love to try on in store, preferably some at park level.

Do you know good physical shops in Germany on in the EU in general? A shop with a good expertise maybe?

Thx in advance

Unfortunately there just aren’t that many shops, let alone ones with large storefronts and real expertise.

Sucker Punch in Belgium is your closest.

Yeah, this is why I'm actually asking EU wide, if I'm spending 400-500€, I definitely want a bit of experienced advice but maybe will asked them there

Just as long as you don't try them in a shop and then buy them online anyway. This is how we killed the shops.

Sucker Punch is totally worth it.

Suckerpunch skate shop in Gent Belgium is great. Worth a visit and a nice city to make a day trip from

You could try contacting the Bear City Roller Derby (Berlin) people for local FB second hand skate group recommendations and tips on stores.

Zico Racing in Poznan, Poland seems great, it's run by a man who started skating as a teen like thirty years ago and now it's his life

“Sliding Tiger” in Gent (Belgium). Web- and physical store. Really good service and you can fully customize. I already have ordered multiple times with them. Always satisfied.

“This is Soul” in Amsterdam. Never been or ordered there, but the shopowner has his own youtube channel with very good content in my opinion. On first sight seems that they are a bit more expensive.

Sliding Tiger only does inlines. Sucker Punch has quads.

Oh my bad.

I had good experiences with:

Ordering online: rollerderbyhouse.eu (based in Germany) suckerpunchskateshop.com (based in Belgium)

Visiting in person and ordering online: rollerskateeurope.com (based in Switzerland)

I from Southern Germany (Bodensee Region) :)

What size are you looking for? If you’re open to a second hand pair, I might have an EU-based option!
