Best skate shop in Austin, Texas (TX) 2024

I tried 4 other places to get my traditional black and white slip on Vans, and no one had my size. The Vans store had my size in 3 cushion options. Cool staff and music, good experience. ~Michael

Great customer service! I went in to get my first pair of skates (in 20 something years) -after not being able to tolerate the foot pain caused by the rentals anymore. I need a wider toe box and that's difficult to find with skates. Sidney and Rugrat were so kind and patient with me and all of my requests. They gave me suggestions and a few skates to try on based on my specifications. They gave me the pros and cons of each. They answered all my questions. They helped me understand the differences in the wheels and decide on a good fit for my needs. And after helping me with some tips for how to make my feet more comfortable, these new skates feel like an extension of me. I decided on the Sure Grips because they fit my feet the best. Nice skates and accessories (wheels, bag, etc.) are not a small investment for me and I am grateful for a wonderful experience here. Thank you both! ~Heather
