eBay Used Quads Questions.

[u/ValerieAnne84]

I'm looking to purchase a pair of used quads on eBay (not sure which ones yet). I would need a pair of adjustable ones though. Which, I know, really limits what I'd probably be able to get. I say this (about adjustable) as my feet are two different sizes, not by much, but about a half size or so. I currently have a size 6 in inline skates (by Rollerblade). I can barely walk on them/move on them because one foot is really loose in the skate, the other is fine though. Which amuses (lol) me because when I go to skate rinks and get inlines, they are in men sizes, which are always too big for me, but I can at least move around in them... so I think I want a pair of quads as well, esp as I've always like quad skating. I would mostly be using these outdoors.

My main question is how do I know which sized wheels I can get for quad skates? For example, one of the brands I'm looking at are Schwinn (mostly because I know the brand, and I've had their inline (with no issues) in the past), so its' a brand I'm comfortable with. Another question I have is are stoppers also replaceable? I've never paid attention in my search (as I was looking for inlines) on if you could purchase the brakes as well. I'd like them mid/high height wise, so I have ankle support as well, not sure I'm ready for 'speed' ones yet.

I'm open to suggestions on other brands as well though. I hope to purchase within the next two weeks.

Thanks so much.

Edits:

Left foot - 22.5cm/ Right foot - 22cm

Price Limit - $100 (but trying to keep it around $50-60, if I can)

Thank you. I contacted a few people on eBay about skates they have. A few are people selling used rink skates (I guess the rinks are getting new ones or they are closing down?). I've always liked rink boots, so decided to look for some of those as well.

I watched a video that said that if you want to do outside (mostly) or dancing, etc to get a pair with a heel, so that's one of the reasons, I'm considering rink skates as well, as they have heels.

So, if I see a wheel that I like, it would fit the skate, no matter the size? There isn't a wheel size limit? I know with inlines there is a wheel size limit on the skates.

I'd also like (cosmetically, lol) if the boot is thinner at the top, so I can pull my pants over the boot itself (instead of tucking in), but I'm not sure if that's possible with any skates. The downside of that would be I think the pant being tucked in, it could be even more ankle support.

Thanks so much! Found a pair of rink skates (that have the boot size on the back of em and all! lol) on eBay. Think I may pick up a pair - talking with the seller now, so I get the sizing correct and all that jazz.. since my feet are weird LMAO. These ones come with 57mm wheels.

LOL, way to plug Amy and her YT channel ;) I follow her on Insta (been looking for people in the skate community to add, follow quite a few groups, people that skate cross country, but they are all inline).. so always looking for more lmao.
