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

I am 57 and picked these blades up to get some excercise other than running... I am a novice roller blader. They roll nice, fit well, comfortable. I am normally size 11-11.5 so I went with size 12 - good choice! Size 11 would have been too tight. The brake stop on right boot doesnt stop you very well. At best, it attempts to slow you down. You will need to learn how to slow/stop hockey style. Well see how the wheels hold up on durability. Thus far, quality blades for $100.

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!

It doesnt have a good clicking/ strapping mechanism as pervious models in the past. Not as good or high quality. Wasnt built to last. Wheels doesnt come in large sizes than 80mm, nor could you install a larger wheel. Comes with Allen key to rotate tires, but bolts are so cheap and rounded that a owner would strip out bolts on first tire rotation.

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.

Im a size 10 in womens in US measurements. I first bought a pair measuring in 26 cm ( my measurements I took following instructions) which came in a size 8 in mens but did not fit. So I went up two sizes in mens to a size 10 mens and it was a perfect fit! So Dont feel discouraged! There has to be a pair that fits! Just make sure to go up 2 sizes honestly.

Good product for the money.

I got these for Christmas for my grandson (huge feet - size 13). It was challenging to find skates that come in that size (many end at size 12) so I was glad to find these. He finally went skating with these and I got very positive feedback from my daughter. She says that when he skates, he usually complains that his feet (really his ankles) hurt after a few minutes. But with these, she said he was good for the entire skating session (2 hours) with no complaints. She told me that these skates provide better support without cutting into his legs. I just hope his feet are finished growing.... He loves to skate.

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!

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 have been rollerblading since 1995. My last pair of rollerblades purchased in 2007(k2 Alexis, women’s 9.5). I put them on to go for my first skate of the year and the strap broke. After doing minimal research I bought Rollerblade Zetrablade. I ordered 8 male (10 womens) and my toes hit the end of the toe box. I usually wear women’s 9-9.5 and have a narrow foot. The soles of these are hard and have less padding than my 16yr old skates. Not sure how my experience is so different than everyone else’s :/
