To make something that LOOKS like a roller skate, you use the build tools. Use a cylinder for the wheels, and so on. Then you attach them to your feet.

If you want to be able to appear to be rollerskating, that is a different problem. For that you need to make a roller skating animation, and then use a script to cause your avatar to play the animation.

I don't want to discourage you from trying to build them... but they do have some really nice free ones at Abranimations. You could get them and try them out, and while they are on your feet edit them and try to see what shape prims they made them out of. That will help you learn how to build.

This quick tutorial I just found on YouTube covers the basics of making things: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mVSzh_QTE00. You should be able to figure out how to make a basic roller skate from that; make your box small and flat, link in four small cylinders and attach to a foot. Then comes the fun and games of getting the details right and getting the script and the animation to cooperate.

Another thing: when making shoes (or roller skates), make a "base shoe" (same colour as the real shoe) that is the smallest size shoe you can make via the sliders. This will shrink the foot, so your skates won't have to be super huge to cover those lovely SL feet.

You can also conceal parts of the foot that stick out with invisiprims, but I don't think it would be necessary for rollerskates.

I misunderstood, I thought you couldn't find the store (he has a few, I've seen them before but I haven't been by in a while)
