Where to buy inline skates

I live in Worcestershire and am in reasonable reach of Worcester, Redditch, Stratford and even Birmingham if necessary.

DD1 (13) has decided she would like to spend her birthday money on inline skates but I don't know where to buy them. I've rung a few branches of JJB sports but they have non in stock below size 8 and we need about a 5.

Anyone got any suggestions of places to visit or phone so that we can get some today?

I know you can get them online but would rather she tried them on TBH.

Also hints and tips for buying would be most appreciated.

Thanks

Sorry, I don't know your region at all, but...

If you decide to buy online after all SkateAsylum has an excellent range, you could buy several candidate pairs and return for refund the ones that you don't want for the price of postage; my travel costs are so high that usually this is more economical than trying to go to a shop in person.

Thanks lljkk.

We found a pair in a Toymaster store and she's had a fab time getting used to them today. They seem to fit the bill for a beginner. I've saved that site to my favourites so we know where to get accessories etc in the future.
