    Not sure if this is the best forum to post this, but does anyone know anywhere I can buy men's rollerblades in Blanchardstown (or nearby) or Dublin city centre?

    1986? :pac:

    lol, sorry couldn't resist.

    you might get them in smyths or possibly even one of the bigger sports outlets like lifestyle or elverys?

    there's three to try anyway, all in the same part of the SC too. :)

    Symths have roller blades and it looks like they stock up to adult size 10. (roller skates seem to go up to adult size 13)

    I know from looking around for roller skates a while back, that there aren't any places in D15 that sell them. The nearest is Skate City in Temple Bar, its on the same street as The Bad Ass cafe.

    Deadly thanks, do you remember if their prices were on the higher end of the scale or were they reasonable? No website for it, but will pop in tomorrow

    Compared to the type you could buy in Smiths (if you could get your size), they are more expensive. But you get what you pay for, adults need sturdier, stronger skates so I would say you will pay between 70 - how large your budget ranges. I bought roller skates, not blades, and the most basic pair of of decent quality skates cost me 150euro. Don't forget wrist, knee and elbow pads! I know a few people that fecked themselves up by not wearing them.

    Just found this website that has a store in Tallaght if your willing to travel, they seem to have a huge selection of blades....they look a lot cheaper than Skate City too. Might be worth a visit http://www.gosk8.ie/9-roller-skates-ireland
