Skating shops in Europe

[k8a]

Hello, I was wondering if anyone can recommend a pro shop in Europe, preferably one that’s close to an international airport so it’s feasible for a day or two day trip, and stocks Riedell skates? Thanks in advance for your advice

Here is the list of retailers for Riedell Europe: https://www.ice.riedellskates.eu/support/retailers (including one in Turkey).

Why don't you narrow down the list to say 6 [depending on where you care to travel to]; then post them here for skaters' experiences (the good, the bad, and the ugly)?

I can recommend Everglides in the UK, I had a good experience there, but I would contact them by website form/email/phone to enquire about sizing, stock and things like that before you make a trip!

I can recommend this shop, which is about 45 min from Vienna. He’s very strict about what boots he’ll fit you into, but did a great job with my fitting. Any changes I’d make next time are due to my own faults and not the fitting.

Thank you all for your reply! My friends ended up going down a slightly different route because most of the retailers we found were either not stocking Riedell anymore or only stocked their roller skates. I personally found your recommendations very helpful, @emilinkaa , as I used them for reordering my old boots and they were so helpful and had great customer service
