Impala is for everyone—whether you’re a beginner taking your first strides or a seasoned skater looking for a stylish recreational setup. Based in Melbourne, Australia, and backed by over 30 years of skate industry experience, Impala has become the global standard for the #impalarollerskatesquad.
Technical Specs for a Smooth Ride
Every pair of Impala quad skates is built with components that prioritize comfort and durability:
- Vegan-Friendly Construction: Impala is a PETA-approved brand. Most models feature high-quality PVC uppers, heels, and soles, ensuring no animal products are used in your gear.
- Aluminum Alloy Trucks & Baseplates: Unlike toy skates with plastic components, Impala uses real metal hardware for better response, strength, and longevity.
- 82a Durometer Wheels: The "sweet spot" for recreational skating. These wheels are soft enough for outdoor sidewalks but offer enough roll-speed for the indoor rink.
- ABEC 7 Bearings: Precision-rated bearings for a frictionless, effortless glide.
Style Meets Inclusivity
Impala is celebrated for its wide range of sizes and eye-catching designs. From the best-selling Holographic and Barbie Pink collaborations to exclusive artist prints and classic black, there is a skate for every personality. Many models are now available in an extended size range (Women’s US 1–14), making them accessible to skaters of all genders and ages.
The Perfect Beginner Setup
If you are just starting your journey, Impala skates feature padded collars for ankle support and metal speed-lace eyelets to ensure a secure, custom fit. We recommend pairing your new skates with an Impala Protective 3-Pack to stay safe while you master your balance.
