Question: what is the difference between roller blades and inline skates?
Answer: Rollerblades are a type of inline skates. ... The larger boot and wider wheels makes skating in rollerblades easier than on inline speed skates. Inline speed skates, on the other hand, have thin, very tall wheels (100mm-130mm) that are best for speed. They also have very short low-top boots that come under the ankle bone.
