Five Stride Skate Shop

"Pretty cool to have an all roller skate shop on town. The staff is very helpful. I now have some really fun skates to go to oaks park with. Way better than the rentals."

"I am so thankful we have this shop in town. They have helped me and my goldilocks feet find the right skates that function for me & fit well. They are super knowledgeable, also helped stretch out the forefoot of my skates for a better fit. Great selection of laces, wheels & safety gear to boot! Even got a cute helmet that is big enough for my huge head. Xoxo."

"I know, I’m not going to be popular for this review, but this business needs to get it’s act together, and understand what being community member is instead of just a place to buy things. I needed one simple favor, to exchange a pair of skates that are brand new and carried by the store. I told him I would be willing to pay half the price of a new pair of skates, I have the receipt from the manufacturer where I purchased the skates. It would be nothing to send these back to a wholesaler if that were the problem. But it’s not the problem. This is a local business that thinks that they are better than other businesses and will not help a community member. This is why people shop online. Because you cannot get decent service in a local store. For all of their friendliness and cute skates they sell, Make sure you never ask them for a favor because you’re not gonna get it. They are going to stick to their capitalism and try to get every penny out of you they possibly can. I highly recommend, skipping the store and going somewhere where they actually care about your business. And this message and experience will quickly spread to every skater in Portland. Lame Five Stride. Really lame."
