Emerald Soft Derby Roller skates

These Chaya skates are excellent for novices keen on starting roller derby, as well as for skaters wanting a well ventilated, low-cut quad skate. They provide a remarkable foundation without a hefty price tag. Furthermore, if you decide that Roller Derby suits you, upgrading the plate, wheels, and other components for a more personal style and higher quality is always an option.

The boot features a very soft exterior with even softer padding, ensuring a snug fit. It is crafted from a gentle composite power-knit material, which makes it comfortable for use on warm days. The low cut design offers optimal manoeuvrability.

The Shari 3.0 plate on these Ruby skates features a blend of nylon and fibreglass, known for being both highly wear-resistant and durable, yet lightweight. This setup allows you to attach it to most Chaya boots using the Dual Center Mounting, enabling you to adjust the angle of the boot for your chosen riding style. The Power toe system enhances power, speed, and control, maintaining a slight pre-tension in your muscles for faster reactions.

The Emerald does not implement the DCM mounting system in this configuration. Instead, it is secured with a classic 4 bolt setup.

The trucks are crafted from aluminium and feature a 20º angle.

The Octo Paseo wheels on the Ruby Soft possess a 78A durometer, designed to provide beginners with an easy-to-skate wheel suitable for a variety of surfaces. Note that if your skating is primarily indoors for derby, choosing harder wheels might be a better option.

The Cherry Toe stopper adds increased control and manoeuvrability. The semi-soft Jelly Interlock bushings offer a balance between comfort and control. The Wicked ABEC7 bearings ensure effortless roll speed.
