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

I ordered these skates to use for fitness. The quality of these skates is great! They are well constructed and the boot is comfy. I did not get to test them out to see how the laces did, because they aren’t designed for someone with calves. The skate comes up to the bottom of the calf, where the muscle starts to curve out, and the ratchet strap is not long enough to accommodate a larger calf/leg area. I am very disappointed about this. I did consider trying to replace the strap, but the original is riveted in place.

I gave my husband this present for his birthday.He likes sports very much, so I think he will like the present. Its of good quality, soft to wear and smooth to the pulleys.My husband likes it very much.

These are a soft boot rollerblade which is comfortable. I have a larger foot and they ended up not working out for me. I contacted rollerblade and they got back with me quickly and offered to replace my blades with a sturdier model. They stand by their product and I’d highly recommend them. It’s rare and refreshing to see companies stand behind their products. Thanks!

The complaints about the top buckle is right though, the hing is made of hard plastic which really feels like itd definitely wear down since you need to tighten around your ankle tightly. It even came off while I was riding the skates once. Besides that, it’s pretty standard of a skate. My foot is 26cm long and I got a size 8 to be safe. The shoe is true to size but its a soft shoe so it’d definitely stretch after a few uses, and mines has gotten too big. Ill recommend contacting the company on your exact measures to pick out what size works for you.

I’m usually a size 7.5 in woman’s shoes, I ordered a 6 and it fits great. This is such a great pair of skates. They’re very study, very comfy, the break come on and off super easy, they tighten really nice, and they roll really smooth. They go pretty fast and I’m also learning some tricks. I’m still a beginner but I want to improve to intermediate and I think this pair of skates will help me get there.

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

Ive taken these around the beach, through parks, up streets, and I havent had any issues. You can feel the skate handling cracks and bumps pretty well. After a few months, Id say the wheels are past ready to be changed. They wear down pretty quickly. The boot is comfortable, but it took about a week for me to figure out how to really tighten it to my liking. The plastic ratchet-strap (I dont know what to call it) is unusual and takes some trial and error to tighten it to your comfort. I got the same size skate as my normal shoe size. At first, the skate felt really tight on the toes, but after breaking it in I have no complaints. If anything, it might even be too loose around the width of my foot. Sometimes I have to stop skating and tilt my feet inward just to reposition my feet inside the boot. If you have wider feet, I think this skate will fit really well. Im already in the market for a step up from this skate, but Im glad I started here. For the price, its definitely worth the investment to see if you enjoy inline.

Comfortable fit and smooth ride!

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.

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.
