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

These are oft boots so I know balance will develop with time. Skating is not like riding a bike, but these seem to be perfect for getting into the swing of things. I tied them and latched them tightly without feeling pinched and my first time back out was great. I will update if anything worsens.

Great rollerblades.. Wish both blades had breaks and only one. Overall it was a great product and work recommend to friends.

Very good for beginners and general recreational skating. The quality of the construction is good for the price, and the boot is comfortable to wear for several hours. I would not recommend this boot for anyone who maybe tempted to do any kind of aggressive skating. The boot and chassis arent designed for it and judging by their construction I doubt they would take the beating.

This is my first pair of inlines. I’ve skated quads for years and decided to try something new. They’re fairly comfortable and the rollerblade sizing chart was right on. Measured my foot and they fit nicely. The bearings….. I’m not a fan. Sealed bearings that feel like they have sand in them. Very gritty. The wheels are what you’d expect on low cost skates- not horrible but not great either. Overall, I like them and skate them almost every day. Don’t think you’ll find anything better at this price point.

My husband loved them said they where very comfy!

This is my first review. These were snug and extremely comfortable. I took the back brake off- loved skating in them. I highly recommend. I’m happy with this purchase

FYI, I am not a beginner and I never stopped Rollerblading. I had some late 90s Rollerblade Fusion MX skates that started crack along the frame and wanted to get a quick cheap replacement to allow me to keep skating, but give me time to do research before purchasing a more expensive skate. I also wanted to see what the more entry level kind of skates had to offer these days before upgrading. My skating style is recreational trail and urban. I mainly go just to burn calories and be outdoors. Some background on my old skates. The Fusion MX was a top of the line recreational skate back in the day with a super solid full shell, and 3 heavy duty ratcheting buckles. No laces! They are heavy and only accept up to 80mm wheels I believe. Big, clunky, and slow, but SUPER secure! and heavily padded. I got the Fusions second hand in the early 2000s as new skates from my dad who never used them. The Fusions replaced my original Rollerblade Lightnings and were a huge upgrade. These new Zetrablade skates are almost the opposite. Very light, one buckle with laces, but still small wheels I was apprehensive, but once I tried them out AND figure out how to tighten them correctly they did the job! They were comfortable, more secure than I thought they would be, and faster. These skate worked great for the price! However, I still preferred my clunky old skates, because even though these were more secure than I thought they would be, they couldnt hold a candle to my Fusion MXs. Since wearing these skates I have fallen twice, hurting myself in one of the falls. I had to go back to wearing pads and a helmet. I was not wearing them because I had not fallen in 15 years in my Fusions! These skates also feel less maneuverable, they may have more space between the wheels (I have not compared yet) making them harder to turn, and the less support may make them harder to turn as well. While not perfect, these types of skates allowed me to figure out that I probably should be in the Twister XT for my style of skating and I will upgrade to those by next summer. If you are a beginner I would highly recommend these! The price is awesome! As I write this they are even one third off of the MSRP, which would make them even less expensive than the Rollerblade Lightnings were in the mid nineties (another entry level skate). Even the MSRP has to be less expensive if you adjust for inflation (woof, left next get started on that subject). As for the Twister XT, yes I will be upgrading to those, but you may find that you want more of a speed skate instead after trying these out. If you have never tried skating, or are coming back after a long hiatus, I highly recommend these. NOTE: I highly recommend any new skate over old 1990 skates as the plastic gets brittle over time and can crack or break causing a bad crash, I was lucky and the crack in my skates did not cause them to fall apart while skating.

These could not have been better. The rollerblades themselves are awesome. Great design, super comfortable and they cruise. Took me a minute to get back into it but these are no joke. Peter Glenn was also an amazing company to deal with. They sent earlier than expected and even put a thank you note with a discount on my next purchase. Well, when my other rollerblades got backordered I decided to cancel and use said coupon to go ahead and order a different pair. They called me directly after I ordered through their website to verify I made the purchase. Literally had me do an account authorization. Like...dang. I like that kind of security and customer service. Couldnt be happier.

These are a great pair of Rollerblades, I had a pair roughly 20+ years ago and they lasted forever (with the obvious wear and tear and exchanging the old wheels with new ones). Would highly recommend this brand for any beginner. I unfortunately had to return the first pair i just bought due to buying the wrong size (felt a little tight when i put them on, then i realized a size too small 10, required an 11). Regardless of my mistake, I would buy again anytime!

Some rubber bands are of poor quality
