Here are some basic steps to take care of your skates to make them last longer:
1- First of all, make sure to dry your skates after every use. Wearing skates can make your feet sweat. Unlace your pair of skates, wipe them with the help of a tissue or paper towel. Allow them to completely dry out in the open air. A suitable pair of roller skates for men has air passing qualities to avoid sweat.
2- Check for the stoppers and nuts on a weekly basis. If you feel any of them loosen, tighten it to get rid of any discomfort during skating.
3- For a monthly clean-up, you can clean your boots, plates, and wheels with a damp cloth or soap water.
4- Make sure to lubricate the wheels to avoid friction as well as for a smooth ride. You can use oil for bearings or any other good quality lubricant specially made for skates and wheels.
