I have been an aggressive/urban inline skater for about 18 years and recently got obsessed with long distance/fitness skating. Even after hours of research I could not find a pair of skates that met all the criteria I had, as I was looking for performance, durability, and comfort with a boot good for distance skating and transitioning into a low cut speed boot in the future.
I would like to mention here that I manage accounts for a living and is as critical as it gets regarding what I determine as quality customer service. Shop task met and exceeded every expectation I had. ..
After calling Jake at the store, he patiently answered all my questions (there was a lot, a result from too many google searches), and he quickly found the skate I was looking for.
Although they weren't available at the time, and with uncertainty when they would be back in stock as a result from supplying the US since the pandemic, Jake called me the very day they were back in stock to let me know! After confirming size, and a quick online purchase that included free shipping, my skates arrived just 3 business days later.
Im looking forward to trying out these Seba Marathon 110s out for the first time today! I will continue to make every skating related purchase through this store for as long as they are around becauzs of this experience.
You want the right skate? Reach out to your local store who knows what they're talking about! They'll make it...
Read moreI stopped by on Easter Sunday, and I was pleasantly surprised that they were open. I was taking my step-son skating around Green Lake, and I decided to stop by Shop Task first, and ask about upgrading to better inline skates. I am glad that I did!
The people who helped me were wonderful! I do not remember their names, but I asked lots of questions, about upgrading from my cheaper skates and 3-wheel vs. 4-wheel skates.
I tried on a couple of skates, and ultimately purchased a pair that I love. I took them out to Green Lake for a couple of laps and they were so much better than my older, cheaper skates.
The staff is patient, friendly, and very helpful. She gave me some welcome pointers/advice about skating, and I loved their enthusiasm!
10/10 I definitely recommend this place. If you started out, like I did, with a cheap pair of skates from a big-box store, you owe it to yourself to stop by this shop, and get help buying a better pair of skates and benefit from their expertise. Your feet will thank you, and even if you already love skating, you will...
Read moreStaff were fast to ask if I needed help and welcome me in when I came in on a Sunday. Very knowledgeable guys.
I was visiting from Portland and they didn't mind all my questions and taking me down the line of all the inlines I might be interested in. I felt like the guy helping me (I am sorry I didn't catch his name) was patient and listened to what I was actually looking for. He was absolutely helpful & supportive! He even skated with the group in Portland that I love to meet up and skate with downtown. (Follow us on IG: Bridge City Skate, join us sometime!) 🛼☀️
They fitted my feet and sized me for free. Which was super helpful and kind! I was able to lace and buckle up, and they let me demo a pair right there inside the shop. It was a great experience. I waited months to finally make the nearly 4 hour trip up North to this shop and I'm so glad I did! I now know what size I am in and what I'm looking for. Thank...
