Sock liners are the bomb for skating. They're meant to be a layer between your foot and your thick wool hiking sock. Their purpose in life is to prevent chafing. That's exactly what I need between my foot and my skate.
I always wear merino wool socks from brands like Fits, Smartwool, and Darn Tough. They’re super comfy and wick away sweat. I don’t get any blisters anymore after using these socks and my Moxi skates. I don’t use the thick hiking socks though. They’re usually the everyday high socks.
Oh man, I got a set of Chaya tube socks for my aggressive skates a few months ago and I will never ever skate a sock that's not a tube sock made for skating. Night and day. I absolutely love how different it feels.
I'm getting my first rollerblades soon on my birthday, I'm worried about how to take care of them though and replacing the wheels, do you have videos on that?
I know this is kinda late. But. Check all your bolts after skating, may seem like over kill but you won't ever loose a frame or cuff bolt with this habit. Rotate your wheels like you flip your mattress. So front to back then left to right. Or left to right then front to back. I would say do rotate too much. It can cause your wheels to get a complete profile (or at lease mine do). Get some bearing cleaner/lube. Wd40 isn't a lube. It's a cleaner. You can wd40 them clean but use some bones bearing cream to lube them. I hope these little bits helped you. Keep rolling my man.
I use soccer socks, which i cut shorter, cause they are long enough, thick enough and have paddings. Will also try the neoprene ankle thing for extra support and thickness
This was an interesting video to watch. I've never had a problem with my skates rubbing my leg, but now that I'm starting to get more serious about staking and am interested in learning different types of tricks, this may help me prevent rubs in the future. I have had a problem, on the other hand, with my cowboy boots rubbing my legs, so I bought some tall socks to wear with them. I actually have permanent scaring on both legs just above the ankle because ankle socks didn't cover the pressure point there and on the side of my calf. Now I have symmetrical scaring on my legs because I wasn't smart enough to wear the correct gear. I do have one quick question. I have really flat feet meaning that I need inserts in all of my shoes to help prevent damage to my ankles and knees. Is there anything wrong with putting inserts in my skates since they don't have any arch support?
I use long socks. I try and make them as thin but not too thin. I don’t have an issue with my shin part, I have issues with my ankle bone. If I don’t wear socks the liner rubs on me and puts a weird pressure and it just annoys you and even hurts you. It will scrape you and cause you pain
Okay need to know right now what and where you got those pink blades in the back!! Like that you listed all the supplies you used and all to make the video but left out the details about those blades lmao They are dope!
Stance socks are my favorite, most comfortable, many designs and most are black on the underside. Which is great if you walk outside wearing socks sometimes.
you forgot to mention to never use ribbed socks... from personal experience wearing any socks with a ribbed band is sooo painful after a 3 or 4 hour skate session you end up with ribbed indents all over your shins and the socks end up peeling away from your skin like their taped on...
thanks... i just tried inline skates earlier after 2 decades (it is true). i realized my mistake now. I was wondering why the rollerblades are shaky even if the skate fits me. it is the sock that caused the problem. I thick but ankle lenght size only. and i felt a little pain in my leg. call it stupid but atleast i realized my mistake. thanks for this video
Hey Ricardo. Love your channel. Have you done a vlog on how tight you should latch your boots for skating? I haven't seen anything. If not, I would love to hear your opinion on tightening your skates. Thanks.
I don't really know!! would love to tell you yes but i don't know... i know some models go up to Eur 47 and the Doops go up to Eur 50, but not all models..
i have to wear the socks that normally people use to play footbal xD i usually go skating before and after classes so sometimes i have to carry two pairs with me cause the socks end up wet with sweat...yay summer!
where can i buy the dope ind socks? I tried to get any information in the www. but I didnt catch any page where I can buy some. They look amazing. I want to have these haha. Help me please and thank you very much for your opinion of skater socks. good vibe men HELLO
I went skating with my guy friends and i didn’t start w/ skates i started w/ rollerblades and i always get blisters diagonal from my ankle and i don’t know how to fix it :(
Sockdreams.com is a good site for like knee high socks. Can get them in different colors an even short socks, material etc. An they have plus size, so you small but got them thick calves, they are nice. Told few of the derby girls an skate peeps in my town about them. Love it. Uk site/store but worth it.
thick socks also put too much pressure on the liner and eventually destroy/soften it ruining the fit. After that 'treatment' you are pretty much stuck with thick socks in that pair. it's like heat forming for a larger foot.
I always used two layers, very thin socks and thick sport socks on the outside. It's really hot during summer, but I ended up with that setup for many years.
I did some research on the socks he speaks of. They are wool socks it seems. Wool is usually used for hiking which would explain why his foot was kept nice and comfy and dry. so probably any good quality wool sock would do.
What about polypropylene socks? I wore ballerina socks in my sneakers and kept taking my shoes off be a use the socks slip off my heel and bunch up under the arch of my foot... just from walking a few steps. I could NEVER wear them skating and in fact, I never wear them anymore. I agree... for those, "get the F out of here"!!!!!!
I use normal thin socks but i cut off this silly rubber band thingy that holds socks in place. I don't like this pressure because blood doesn't flow freely . Never had any issues. I have SL skates. Please explain why socks have to be higher than liners.
guess it's yhe uniformity of the fit and fear of abrasion from the top of the cuff. They don't have to be, you can go barefoot, if your skate fits well (isn't ruined by awful thick socks). I understand socks as a moisture buffer that helps keep the skates cleaner and prevents odour. Also good to keep those residual chemicals further from the feet.
;) i love fat socks too..but depending on the skates and distance...if your feet don´t breath sometimes your feet hurt..or if they get rolled inside the skates fat socks suck!!!..but offcourse its an opinion.! thanks for the comment
best socks = christmas socks from grandma
Fakie yup!
Pussy ass nigga Yes!!
I literally have zero plan to buy new socks now because I have SO many grandma Christmas socks ❤️❤️❤️
Anti-Microbrial wool socks are the way to go!
Keep your skates from smelling and keeping your feet dry!
Wool does NOT keep my feet dry at all!!!
@@JoeMama-vj8es i think the wool needs to be treated for it to be moisture wicking
I'm going to buying roller skates & I'm glad I came across this video b/c I never thought about socks.( proper socks).
So am i tomorrow yay time to pull out the winter knee cap socks
Get the F outa here with those ballerina shoes! lol

Cycling socks are also pretty great for skating, they're just the right height, thin and work great with sweat.

Merino wool has sweat wicking properties and it's naturally odour resistant which is why it's great for sports products :)

When I started skating I didn’t know i had to wear long socks.. i learnt in the worst way
Just got the Gawds socks. They fit uncomfortably tight around the calves and my calves aren't even that big. Bummer.
RollForever it happens the same to me
Ordered them couple minutes ago...fuuuuuck
Merino is the shit! lol I'm also a knitter and if you're making something for somebody you love...you get them merino yarn! :)

I usually skate using horseback riding knee high socks. it's the only high socks I own and like wearing.
“Get the f*** outta here with those socks” 🤣🤣🤣
Best socks = my fit or roller blade socks. They are padded in certain areas and specifically meant for skating
See my socks in the thumbnail: Oh ****
He holds them up and says they're the best: You're god damn right.
you forgot to mention to never use ribbed socks... from personal experience wearing any socks with a ribbed band is sooo painful after a 3 or 4 hour skate session you end up with ribbed indents all over your shins and the socks end up peeling away from your skin like their taped on...
I use padded (on the heel and bsll of foot) polypropylene socks

I have been slalom/city skating in Puma ankles for 3 years. Fite me.
any recommendation of socks for the winter?
Will power slide ever make their skates bigger? I'm a size 13 and they don't have any 😭😭😭
I don't really know!! would love to tell you yes but i don't know...
i know some models go up to Eur 47 and the Doops go up to Eur 50, but not all models..
Oh i forgot my name I'm a size 13 as well and just used twister 80 😂
Powerslide skates are bigger than the size listed. You could probably fit in a 12. Check the boot length in cm and compare it to your foot
Those skates are so pretty, where did you get them?
What brand socksdo you wear?
i have to wear the socks that normally people use to play footbal xD i usually go skating before and after classes so sometimes i have to carry two pairs with me cause the socks end up wet with sweat...yay summer!

I agree with you on the " invisible", " no show" socks! F*** that!
thank you for video! What about special skating socks like rollerblade's for exmaple? Do they have any advantages?
gofixmix can you tell me where you ordered your gawd socks? Online?
I went skating with my guy friends and i didn’t start w/ skates i started w/ rollerblades and i always get blisters diagonal from my ankle and i don’t know how to fix it :(
lauren🦋 me too!!
basketball socks are the wave 😎
What skate is that? I want it it looks like it has cushion inside
Straw Berry powerslide swell
Tradesman socks are the best
Hello Ricardo. Do you have a video talking about the bearings cleaning?

THE LINO LIFE, por favor, Lino, faça um com os diversos produtos que podemos usar: tipos de solventes, óleos e graxas.
my adidas soccer socks are comfortable and my adidas compression socks I can skate forever
I believe it's about cotton free socks

Merinos is wool!
I used to wear them without socks 😂
para mi los gawds son los mejores del mercado pero al principio la goma aprieta mucho que opinas tu ?
jacobrs93 a mi los gawds me estrangulan el gemelo
Striped tube socks remind me of Mike Opalek.
I'm on a swell boot and in my opinion, thick socks a a BIG no no on those! It's just way too tight on the foot.
thick socks also put too much pressure on the liner and eventually destroy/soften it ruining the fit. After that 'treatment' you are pretty much stuck with thick socks in that pair. it's like heat forming for a larger foot.
Wich are the long socks brand?

"most of the speed skaters use no socks" *taps finger against forehead*
I always used two layers, very thin socks and thick sport socks on the outside. It's really hot during summer, but I ended up with that setup for many years.
I used wool merino socks and polartek socks both off them is sucks. Special xc-ski socks muchmuch better for skaters
thanks for the feedback..please show me those.. (link please)
:D
THE LINO LIFE link what ?
My sockss?!?!?!)))
cross country ski socks are some of the most durable, but also the warmest...
