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.

You're never late 🙇‍♀️
Though I've never done any skating I've seen
even people in their fifties sixties skate
And you're just 50kg
That's definitely not a lot
I believe
You'll do it very well
Just try to find a better store or is it available online?
Everything will be fine 🙇‍♀️

@Raaii yeah I'll buy em online. They're expensive and i didn't want to risk shopping online unless the fit wasn't right or was uncomfortable

@assemblingaknob @assemblingaknob

I can understand this
Since I also live on a very tight budget
Sometimes it's very hard to get something I really want or need

While purchasing online always be careful to check tht refund/ return policy

Atleast if it's bad we can submit for a refund

Best of luck
I think you'll get it
And always be confident
You're great and I admire you 🙇‍♀️
