Is 30 years too old to start skating?

Am I too old? Went to a sports shop and they didn't have skates the size of an adult shoe. They looked at me weird when I said I need training skates. And they refused to let me wear the biggest size they had because it could break under my weight (I weight 50kg).

The other store I went to, only has 1 adult size. They looked at me weird too when I said it's for myself. They had inline skates for adults, but no training skates in adult size. As if adults can't train?

I felt kind of discouraged.

One person I met online I told my plan to start skating, and they just sent me a 😳 emoji.

That's truly weird. It's perfectly normal for adults to skate. However, it's true that training, two row skates for adults might be an odd request now. I kind of assumed they were rather a fashion matter in 90s or so. At least music videos from 90s were the only place where I've seen them on an adult.
