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

Great for around the neighborhood with the dog. Used them a dozen times and no issues. Very comfortable.

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.

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.

I haven’t rollerbladed in years but decided to because my wife and daughter started. These were highly rated so I bought them and they did not disappoint. Good fit, nice ride, no blisters or anything. Good support also. Great for beginners.

Good all around skates

Good product for the money.

I love these. Before these, I had bought a $60, adjustable pair on Amazon. The difference between the too is night in day. These are much more comfortable and provide a lot greater sense of nimbleness and stability. 10/10 recommend.

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 :)

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!

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.
