Rollerblade Zetrablade Men's Adult Fitness Inline Skate, Black and Silver

I never write reviews here but I want to say I was skeptical of these blades for no reason other than I’ve had the same blades for 20 years but I am super happy with these! I have worn them inside at a rink and outside in nyc and I love them! They are very comfortable. My old blades my feet hurt after a mile. I wore these for 5 miles yesterday and could have gone 5 more! The look is sleek and nice and the quality seems very well made! Highly recommend!

Very smooth ride. I was able to go miles and still be comfortable in these. I've been trying to find good and sturdy roller blades that I would love for years since my last ones were tossed and so far within my price range (even though I asked and got these for Christmas lol) these are my favorite.

Great fit and I feel safer in these blades.

Excelente 11/10 recordé mi infancia con este mega detalle y es una opción más para ejercitarse! Vida saludable y divertida

My only complaint was the insoles needed more padding.

FYI, I am not a beginner and I never stopped Rollerblading. I had some late 90's 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 couldn't hold a candle to my Fusion MX's. 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.

My brother bought these skates so he can lose weight but ended up never using them so I stole them. Best skates I’ve ever stolen. Unfortunately, they were a size 13 and I am a size 10 so few days ago I had to order the same skates in my size ‘cuz I absolutely love these skates. So comfortable, you can skate forever. They also have this sporty look to them so you’ll be rollin’ in style.I’ve seen many reviews about these skates and how the wheels were all torn up in such a small amount of time. If you put one skate behind you sideways and you use your wheels to break then YES, ABSOLUTELY your wheels are going to not last long. The wheels were not designed to rub on hard surfaces to decrease your speed! That’s what the break is for! You can also learn spinning techniques that can stop you immediately.

Great quality skates and comfortable you can’t go wrong with rollerblade brand.
