Impala Inline Skates

Impala Lightspeed Inline Skate | Apricot

Impala's Lightspeed in Apricot is a retro inline skate made for beginners and recreational skaters. Ready to roll straight out of the box, no wearing-in required.

A durable boot with a breathable, padded liner keeps you comfortable from the first session, and the lace-up front with buckle closure locks your foot in quickly. 70mm 84A urethane wheels on a lightweight plastic chassis roll smoothly indoors and out, with ABEC-7 bearings for a consistent glide. Wheels come set up straight and can be rockered for extra manoeuvrability. An optional rear heel brake and two Allen keys are included.

Fit Guide

• Sized in US Women's. Impala skates are unisex but sized on US Women's. Our size options are listed as USW, from USW 1 to USW 14.
• True to size for most skaters. Order your usual US Women's shoe size.
• Half size? Go up to the next full size for a roomier toe box.
• Men's sizing: add 2 to your US Men's size. For example, Men's US 8 = USW 10.
• Not sure? Trace your foot while wearing your skate socks and measure heel to toe in cm, then check it against the Impala size chart.
• SoCal tip: new skates should feel snug, with your toes just touching the front and your heel staying put when you bend your knees. Try them on in store or call us on 03 9421 2293.
