Rollerblade Zetrablade Mens Adult Fitness Inline Skate, Black and Silver, Performance Inline Skates

Wheels are aligned really nice unlike another pair I had tried. You can stand and move without feeling like your wheels are caving in. The wheels have a decent amount of sticky so they hold the floor well. Definitely recommended for sure.

Im expecting the elites. I rushed and returned em bc they were a bit lose but now i have try a variety from poweslide phusion, the zetrablades for women and now im expecting the elites. Something tells me i will end up purchasing this back as my go to . They were way more comfy and i never fell . I almost busted my butt w the womens and did hurt my knee w the powerslide. I am expecting to get the elite then I ll make my final decision. Whatever you do dont buy from out of country skatepro is giving me a hard time to return the powerslides i barely tryied on. Amazon is the best if you dont have a skate shop near your hometown. Will update after I try the elites. I am a 200 pound female size 8 and a half and got a size 9 in mens. I wish I would have just kept this ones bc after doing all this choosing and investing i am almost thinking i will be back to this at leadt as for the colors i do love the black and silver and the inside of them to be black

Stuck at home, my family gifted this to me on my birthday. Ive tried inline skating before a decade ago, and didnt get very far. Back then, my skates were uncomfortable and I fell a lot. I gave up after four attempts. These are a much more comfortable pair. There is padding inside which is useful for a total beginner but gets in the way of intermediate or advanced skaters (that want perfect transfer and control). Since Im a beginner, I have been a bit rough on the skates, and they have scuff marks on the side. The skates have also been left outside in the sun and dont look worse for it. The wheels are softer than other inline skate brands. This again is useful for beginners but might not be as good for intermediate skaters. The wheels rotate freely, the wheels are stable and dont wobble. Depending on the surface you practice on, you might need to rotate your wheels (instructions and allen key included). You will also need to lubricate the wheels or periodically remove them to remove hair and other debris that invariably gets caught. Again, this is easier than it sounds. You use the allen key, remove the wheel. Remove the debris, brush it away with an old toothbrush, and put the wheel back. Sizing: I got a size 10 and my foot-size is 10.5. I recommend a tight, snug fit. My foot is snug inside these blades, and they hold on to my ankle and heel near perfectly. If you do start, please do buy knee, elbow and wrist pads. After trying a few brands, I settled on pads that are also made by this company that makes inline skates. They were the same price as other no-name brands, and are much more snug. Starting out, I also recommend the excellent videos by SkatefreshAsha on Youtube. Good posture and good technique is vital to avoid back and leg pain, and to avoid fatigue. And as you get comfortable, you will need to learn specific techniques (stopping, turning, one-leg balance) that is essential to developing good technique. Get your posture and technique right, and in a year or two you can justify a good professional pair if youd like. Or you can continue with this pair recreationally or for a quick run around the hood. Hope this is useful, and hope you can learn how to skate as well! Skating is now it my special father-daughter hobby!

My dog pulls me around the neighborhood, and these let him get up to a pretty good speed. Ive been using them for about 6 months and so far they are holding up great! Ive ridden in the rain even, and the bearings somehow managed to not rust and get all nasty like my skateboard, so that was a pleasant surprise. For the price, these are excellent entry level rollerblades!

I purchased these skates because I was just getting into skating and didnt want to spend a lot of money in case I didnt like the sport. The skates are a very good value and quality. They are a little uncomfortable but that may just be my feet, and I cant compare them to other skates since this is my first pair. I skate 12 miles two to three times per week. At the end of 12 miles Im ready to get my feet out of them. I skate on a smooth asphalt trail. The wheels are ready to replace after about 100 miles. I purchased harder compound wheels (80mm, 85A durometer) and high end Oust MOC 9 AIRRR bearings but havent installed them yet. The bearings alone cost almost as much as the skates. Im hoping to bet more speed and durability out of the new wheels and bearings.

Ive had these skates for about 2 months now and have skated about 150 miles all outdoors in them. The boot and frame are holding up well considering how much Ive used them. I wear them very tightly and, as a result, the lower strap has started to slightly cut into the soft boot. Ive fallen a few times which has caused some scratches in the plastic around the boot and frame, but that would happen with any set of skates. I cant make a judgement about the bearings because I was foolish enough to take them through a puddle within the first three weeks so they lost their function. The 80A wheels that come on this skate wore down significantly within the first three weeks, about 40 miles on pavement, and I had to replace them with 85A RB Hydrogen wheels (add $65 to the price of the skate). The new wheels are a huge improvement to the quality of the skate. Im 197 lbs (probably closer to 230 on commuting days with all the gear I carry); if you weigh less than me your experience with the wheels may be quite different. This boot is very soft and comfortable. Maybe too soft; I dont feel like there is a good power transfer. I wouldnt trust them for city skating, jumping, or power slides. On the other hand, when I was younger I would always get blisters on the back of my heel from just a couple hours, but these skates never gave me any foot discomfort. The Rollerblade Zetrablade skates have been an excellent re-introduction to inline skating. Ive lost fat and gained muscle in my legs. Theyre good for commuting to and from work. My next pair will have three wheels at 110mm because I feel that would be better for pavement.

My kids have been skating for a few months and made me wonder how cool would that be to try it myself. It is so much fun! Well, except the moments when I lose the balance )))) I love the skates - the size is right (I ordered slightly larger, to be on the safe side), very comfortable, skating is smooth. I wish it came with some skating skills included :)

Fit is great. Super comfortable. Stock wheels/bearings are horrible - zero roll consistency. Changed out the wheels immediately to the Amazon Best Seller WHEELCOME Inline Skate wheels and its like a whole new set of skates.

I cant tell the difference to size up or size down but Im usually a size 10 1/2 or 11. Got these in a 11 and was pretty good for most part. Caused a lot of under foot pain tho so I would only be able to skate for 3 minutes and then would have to take a break.

Good all around skates
