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

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

Good all around skates

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.

Good product for the money.

120 miles skating in 1.5month review. fastest I was able to go on somewhat flat land was 18.7mph. I have rotated my wheels as the picture shows. The wheels have lasted fairly well unlike other reviews mentioned that they were poor quality and would fall apart(I have taken them through various terrains but mostly rough and smooth asphalt with alot of bumps). I think the wheels have a life span of about 180-200miles when rotated, according to my use. I am 6.2 (15.748 cm) tall and weigh in around 225lbs the wheels and skates have been fine. I also ordered protective pads and a helmet (size large) and they have worked great. Besmall Kids Protective Gear Set,Roller Skating Skateboard BMX Bike Cycling Sports Protective Gear Pads for Youth Boys Girls(Adjustable Helmet+Knee Pads+Elbow Pads+Wrist Pads) Black L I am US 14 in shoe size and ordered a size 31cm (13), should have ordered a size 30cm aka US12 in skates for this brand. Ive fallen about 20 times and the skates have held up pretty good to regular scrapping and abuse. Normally ride intervals have been 3.5 miles to 25miles. Skates initially felt a little uncomfortable till I broke them in. Great skates for a beginner or someone trying to learn how to skate again. side note. wheels in very smooth asphalt are very prone to being extremely slippery vs on the road asphalt with the slightest of moisture. I also decided to remove the brakes on the right rear skate as for me there are easier/more effective ways to stop.

I’m not a pro skater, just bought these so I could roll around with the kids. I’m older and this is the hardest thing I’ve ever done. The skates are good though. No issues and just make sure to tighten those suckers up and wear pads. Seem sturdy and good quality to me.

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.

I had not been roller blading in years, and both my fiancé and I went with this option. Obviously I am not up to date on the latest with in-line skating, but these are an excellent choice for occasional use on a rink. To be fair, I have not tried outdoors on pavement/sidewalk, but in my experience, they broke in after 2-3 sessions and allow for up to 4-5 hrs of comfortable skating now.

This item is for experienced skaters. The item is very durable - purchased it about 1 year ago and today they are just as new as the day purchased

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.
