Sure Grip is a pioneering American brand in the practice of roller skating, it is known throughout the world for the multiple choice of products dedicated to the practice of Quad Roller, Derby or Jam/dance. The multitude of products, the brand's know-how and its popularity in disciplines such as Roller Derby, make Sure Grip a reference, thanks to its Sure Grip Boxer, Sure Grip Rebel skates, its Sure Grip Avenger frames and its Sure wheels. Grip Titans.

Sure-Grip International, formerly known as Sure grip Skate Company was founded in 1936 by John L. Wintz. Sure Grip was first known for its rubber wheels invented for traditional roller skates in 1937. The wheels were made from phenolic, a material widely used at the time in the mechanical industry for all products requiring to resist friction. The use of this material for roller wheels has revolutionized the roller skating market by replacing slippery wooden wheels. From then on Sure-Grip became a very appropriate name since the brand literally offered sure grip. The Sure Grip wheels were such a success that the brand established itself in the roller skating industry as one of the main innovative leaders.

In 1945, the first Sure Grip roller skate was manufactured. This first jet was far from resembling the current models which are both light and resistant. Years of innovation in design and engineering have allowed Sure Grip to evolve its skates. The use of aluminum, titanium and magnesium have allowed Sure-Grip to become the leader in the research and development of new materials, not only by offering to constantly improve its products but also by offering the public the products with the finest possible quality at an always affordable price.

From the mid-1970s through the end of the decade, Sure Grip faced a radical change in the roller skating industry. Roller skating finally became one of the main leisure activities for Americans. To meet this growing demand, the brand offered for the first time in the history of skating, an outdoor roller skate mounted with a running shoe. Sure Grip called this roller the "Jogger".

The Jogger took over the country from California to New York and was the success that propelled the Sure Grip brand even higher. This was followed by numerous successes for the brand such as roller skis and hockey rollers.

In the early 2000s, the re-emergence of the success of the 70s with the practice of roller derby once again awakened the creative spirit of the Sure-Grip brand. And it is even more recently on the racing quad skate market that Surgrip once again demonstrated innovation by offering the new line of racing shoes, the XL series which has proven itself on the racing skate market and enters the roller derby market. An experience which allowed her to join a roller line specially dedicated to Derby and designated by Roller Derby girls for roller derby players. The line is called "Rebel" and obviously keeps its promises with a shoe entirely made of leather and slightly lower at the back to provide better flexibility.
