To our (s)quad:

When we started C7skates, we set out with one goal in mind: capture the fun and nostalgia of warm nights on the beach, late evenings by the bonfire, and that glorious feeling of an endless summer vacation into every pair of skates we sell.

We couldn’t be happier with how many of you resonated with our mission. Hundreds have posted to your own social media showing off your love for our brand, and we have always done our best to show our appreciation back. 

This is why we started the #C7InAction hashtag — to highlight the awesome members of our community that make C7skates what it is. (Take a peek if you haven’t already!)

We wanted to build another way to talk with our community to help answer some of the most common questions we have and maybe even provide you with some stuff you didn’t know you were interested in.

This is where the (S)quad Diary comes in. We will be posting regularly here with frequently asked questions, roller skating trends, how-to guides, listicles, community updates, and anything else our squad might be interested in. 

(Cute lacing techniques, anybody? 💛)

If you have suggestions for what you would like to read or see in this diary, leave us a comment on our most recent Instagram post. That’s where a lot of the conversation is already happening!

 

As you probably already noticed, we launched the blog with three blogs we thought were important enough to share on launch: How to Take Care of Your Roller Skates, How to Teach Your Kid to Roller Skate, and 7 Weird Facts About Roller Skating You May Not Have Known.

Check them out if you have the time! 

From the bottom of our roller skate-loving hearts, thank you for being a part of our community. If you want to make sure you never miss a diary post, sign up for our newsletter to receive email notifications whenever a new entry is posted.
