Best Skateboard Decks

At Route One, we stock one of the biggest ranges of skateboard decks at the best prices, with hundreds of graphics, in every shape and size. The main thing most skaters care about is deck width: most skaters ride 8.0-8.5" depending on feel and foot size, so pick what suits them best (it’s probably best to ask first, as skaters can be a bit picky) and then choose a graphic they will love. Shop iconic skateboard decks from industry powerhouses including Polar Skate Co., Santa Cruz and Girl Skateboards or from British favourites like Skateboard Cafe, Blast Skates, and Death Skateboards, plus loads more.

Best Skateboard Trucks

Different trucks can change how a board turns, pops and grinds. The first thing you should do when looking at buying your loved ones a pair of trucks is to match truck width to deck width (our Skateboard Buying Guide can help with this). Hollow axles/kingpins are popular for being lightweight; high trucks allow for bigger wheels and tighter turns, whilst lower trucks give you a quicker pop. All of the truck brands on our site are trustworthy (otherwise we wouldn’t stock them) but some of our top picks come from Independent, Ace AF1s, Venture, and Thunder.

Best Shoes for Skateboarding

Skate shoes are one of the hardest things to buy for someone else. With slight variations in sizes, styles, sole construction and so many other factors, it can be a minefield. Whilst this is the case, we only buy shoes we believe in, so if you’re after vulcanised or cupsole, court-inspired or moc-style, all-black colourways or something a little brighter, we guarantee to have a skate shoe for everyone. If you want to find out our top picks for most of the skate shoe brands we stock, check out our Best Skate Shoes of 2025 (So Far) blog.

Best Skateboard Wheels

Although designed with durability in mind, Skaters can wear through wheels relatively quickly, so they’re a safe win this Christmas. For street and park, 52–56mm in harder urethane (99A+) is usually the go-to; but if they cruise rough UK pavements, a slightly softer set can help smooth the ride (aim for 97A durometer or less). You can’t go wrong with Spitfire Formula 4, Bones X-Formula or Powell Peralta’s new Dragon Formula for control and guaranteed durability; Ricta Clouds, Slime Balls OG Slimes, and Spitfire Superwide 80HD are all go-tos for filming and cruising.

Best Bearings

Bones Reds bearings are hard to beat if you want a safe, gift-able, premium quality bearing. The most iconic and classic bearings on the market, Bones REDS are the most used bearings in skateboarding, and for good reason. But brands like Bronson Speed Co., SKF, and Quantum all deliver smooth, durable rides which compete with Bones’ for quality. Ceramics bearings are next level and would make a great gift this Christmas for more experienced skaters.

Best Socks for Skaters

Looking for a stocking filler that gets used? Stance skate socks are a safe bet. They’re the go-to socks for skaters worldwide: soft yet tough, with seamless toe caps, ribbed cuffs that don’t sag and medium cushioning right where skaters need it without jeopardising board control. They cut down blisters, keep feet secure in the shoe and stand up to repeated washes. And if you fancy something special we’ve got limited edition collabs with Star Wars, Pokemon and more. If you’re after weird and wonderful sock designs, instead, our Route One Crew Socks Range; ranging from the funny to the obscene and coming in at 3 pairs for the price of 2, they’ll be a stocking winner this christmas.
