  2. Sometimes inexpensive skating equipment has bearings that make the skater work harder and low cost wheels that can not grip an indoor floor properly. It doesn't matter as much outside because the rough textured outdoor surfaces help grab the wheels so a skater can push without slipping. Skating on a wood, tile or other smooth indoor surface means that you child is trying to push a slick wheel surface against a smooth floor that will not grip it.

    Take the skates to your rink pro shop or sporting goods store and explain the problem. Unlike a department store, a good rink or sports specialty shop sells an assortment of wheels from hard to soft that are designed for various skating conditions. They can also inspect the skates for other possible problems.
