How long does it take to break in roller skates?
Roller skates typically take around 12 to 24 hours of use to feel properly broken in. This means you may have to skate, for example, 4 hours a week for 3 to 6 weeks. There are a few tricks to help you break in your new roller skates that you may want to consider doing, like applying some heat, using leather conditioner at times, and correctly lacing up.
