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

This will just be a initial review as I just got them and have done a few miles with them. Shipping was timely and they arrived as expected with no issues. First out of the box they were exactly as described and exactly what I expected. I just wanted cheap skates to see if I still enjoyed it because I hadnt skated in years and didnt want to just jump on a several hundred dollar pair. The sizing was a exact fit using my regular shoe size and they tightened up surprisingly well and held their tightness to my foot through the ride. Wheels and bearings seem perfectly fine and they are comfortable to wear. I just rode about two hours right after opening them. Fell once but not their fault lol. Overall they are exactly what I wanted them to be. A good intro skate nothing fancy. I will update this as I add miles to them.

Overall I like these rollerblades, however I liked my old [early 1990s] Rollerblade Lightning rollerblades better... because they had more ankle support, were more comfortable, and the buckle worked much better. With these Zetrablade rollerblades I have to spend a long time trying to get the top buckle to push in the slot so I can tighten the top of the rollerblades tight around my leg for full support; I think the buckle is thinner plastic than on the Lightning model, and the buckle on the Zetrablade fits into the slot and goes behind the plastic of the outer boot, whereas on the Lightning rollerblades the bucket fits into the slot and stays on the outside of the boot plastic so you dont have to fight to push it through the slot; When you push the Zetrablade buckle through the slot, because the plastic is thinner it bends instead of goes into the slot. When I am finally able to get the top buckle tight enough then it hurts my leg because the padding isnt as comfortable as on my old Rollerblade Lightning rollerblades [those were really comfortable]. I also seemed to have more stability with my old Lightning rollerblades, something to do with the wheel size [the wheels are shorter on the Lightning model] and perhaps the wheels are in a different location on the Zetrablade rollerblades making them feel in the wrong position, not giving me as much stability as I had with the Lightning model. I wish theyd make the Lightning model again; Id buy those instead. Overall I am happy with the Zetrablade because they look nice and have a nice low price [as the Lightning model]. I took really good care of my Lightning rollerblades, they were almost new looking, but because I bought them in the early 1990s [over 25 years old] the plastic must have gotten brittle because when I tightened the upper buckle the boot plastic broke from the stress of the buckle pulling tight; I threw them away; I loved those Rollerblade Lightning rollerblades; I like the Zetrablades.

My dog pulls me around the neighborhood, and these let him get up to a pretty good speed. Ive been using them for about 6 months and so far they are holding up great! Ive ridden in the rain even, and the bearings somehow managed to not rust and get all nasty like my skateboard, so that was a pleasant surprise. For the price, these are excellent entry level rollerblades!

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.

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

I purchased this pair of Rollerblades having not been rollerblading in years and unsure of my size. In shoes I am a womens 9.5 tending towards the narrow side in shoes; in sneakers I am an Asics Gel 10 in womens. I purchased the mens 8.0 because I prefer the color and I have to say they fit PERFECTLY and they are GORGEOUS. I will give them a fuller try soon after I put on my protective gear. Remember to always wear your helmet and padding! I am still a beginner and I know these will last me for years. EXCELLENT PRODUCT! I rarely write reviews and am hoping someone else can benefit from the sizing information.

Some rubber bands are of poor quality

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.

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.

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
