Cariboo Ballerina (purple)

Cariboo Ballerina inline skates allow for two modes of riding, making them perfect for little ones who have never tried skating before. The first steps can be taken with the front wheels locked—this way, the child can start walking in the skates, getting accustomed to them and preparing for further training. Once the front wheels are unlocked, the proper skating lessons can begin. The hard outer shell of the boot will protect your child’s foot during each training session—it will stabilise and secure the foot, while the soft insole provides comfort even during longer rides. Cariboo Ballerina skates do not have laces, only practical buckles which your child will quickly learn to fasten. This is also a safety feature—buckles won’t pose a risk during skating. Skates designed for learning must also encourage first attempts—at Cariboo, we know how to do this. Ballerina is a model for every little princess, sparkling with glitter and featuring light-up wheels, in favourite girly colours. What more do you need to jump on these skates and speed ahead?

Hard Shell, Soft Insole

Skates for the youngest riders must be safe and comfortable, which is why the boot has a strong, hard outer shell that protects the foot—especially the most vulnerable points (toes, ankles). The purpose of the stiff boot casing is also to stabilise the foot, preventing uncontrolled and accidental bending. The hard shell also provides better control, making it easier to master the correct skating technique and allowing for quicker acquisition of new skills. It also helps maintain the proper position, which is particularly important for children whose muscles are not yet fully developed.

The soft, delicate inner insole ensures comfort during longer rides, ensuring that little feet do not get tired and preventing chafing. Moreover, it can be removed and washed, so the skates always look good, and skating in them is simply enjoyable.

Practical Fastenings for the Youngest Users

We equipped the Ballerina inline skates with practical buckles, foregoing laces. This solution aims to enhance the rider’s safety while being practical and functional. The buckles securely hold your child’s foot and are easy to operate. Your child will quickly learn to fasten and unfasten the skates independently. Remember, tying laces requires more skill and can pose some difficulties for the youngest users. Additionally, untied laces can interfere with skating, potentially getting caught in the wheels and preventing further travel.

Skates for Longer Use

The Cariboo Ballerina also offers size adjustability, ensuring the skates last longer, giving your young lady plenty of time to perfect her skills. The shoe size is adjusted easily and smoothly with a dial located at the back of the skate. The Ballerina comes in two models - XS, corresponding to sizes 26-30, and S for sizes 31-35. You don’t have to worry about your child outgrowing her favourite skates too quickly! The Ballerina will stay with her from a little princess to a young lady.

Wheels for Learning to Skate

The wheels on Cariboo skates are made from high-quality materials. We selected their diameter, spacing, and arrangement to ensure that the first skating adventures are safe. The smooth operation of the wheels is ensured by ABEC-7 class bearings. It’s also worth mentioning their appearance—the wheels sparkle with glitter, and the two rear ones light up while skating. Thanks to the glowing wheels, your child will be more visible when they set off on their journey. Undoubtedly, the Ballerina skates will captivate every little princess with their appearance, as it’s hard to pass by them with indifference.
