Control, safety, agility… You need your toe stops for more than just slowing down when you’re skating. They help you push off and quickly change direction. Whether you skate for fun, play roller derby or enjoy artistic skating, good roller skate toe stops are essential.

At Sucker Punch Skate Shop – the biggest roller skate shop in Europe – you’ll find a wide range of toe stops to match your style and skill level. Discover the different types, how to choose the right ones, and how to easily replace your toe stops. You can order them online or visit our shop in Ghent. Got questions? We’re happy to help!

Buy toe stops for the ultimate skating fun

Toe stops – also called roller skate brakes or skate stoppers – are mounted at the front of your skates, under the toes. They consist of a cylindrical stopper and a bolt (stem). Most toe stops are made of durable rubber, while toy skates might use plastic. You screw the stopper into the plate of your skates using the stem.

Toe stops are essential for braking while skating. In roller derby, the “tomahawk” technique is a popular one – you skate backwards and tiptoe to slow down and come to a stop. Toe stops also help with quick take-offs and agile manoeuvres.

Different types of roller skate toe stops

Bolt-on toe stops

These toe stops have a fixed length and are not height adjustable. They wear down over time and become shorter. Bolt-on toe stops have a 5/16” stem and only fit plates with that same size. They’re often found on entry-level or beginner skates.

Adjustable toe stops

These stoppers can be adjusted in height, so you can set them to your own preference. Adjustable toe stops have a 5/8” stem and also only fit matching plates. They’re popular on mid- to high-end skates and offer more flexibility and control.

Which toe stops fit your skating style?

Recreational skating

If you skate for fun, durable and grippy toe stops are key. They help you stay in control and safe on different types of surfaces.

Roller derby

In derby, quick stops and agility are crucial. Toe stops like the Gumball or Bionic Big Foot offer great grip and durability, perfect for high-impact play.

Artistic skating

Artistic skating is all about precision and grace. Stops like the Roll Line Super Pro are designed for jumps and exact footwork, with a rounded shape for smooth transitions.

How to choose and maintain toe stops

  • Check the fit: Make sure the stem size (5/16” or 5/8”) matches your plate. Not sure? Bring your skate plates when shopping for new toe stops. We’ll gladly help if you have doubts.
  • Easy to replace: Unscrew the locking nut, remove the old stopper and screw in the new one the other way around.
  • Maintenance: Toe stops don’t need much care. But if they sit unused for a long time, they might dry out and harden. If so, replace them before your next skate session.
  • Mind the floor: Some toe stops leave marks and aren’t allowed in certain indoor rinks. Ask us if you’re unsure.
