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

My son began his rollerblade experience with some really cheap (non-Rollerblade brand) skates that had already been very well-used. We got him these Rollerblades for Christmas since those old skates broke a few months ago. He absolutely loves them--they are so comfortable and so smooth. We are all glad, however, that his first experience was on rougher skates because they are so smooth that they dont seem well-suited to beginners. Funny problem, and one Id be glad to have, but there you go!

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.

I gave this five stars because I cant give a highly educated review as Ive never worn other skates before. As a beginner I have had a five star experience over all. What I can talk about is my experience with them as a beginner. To start, I ordered them in my shoe size and they fit how experienced skaters say they should fit. I use to skate board so I know bearings. These ones arent great in regards to spin time,, but this is nice as a beginner. Having a set of more resistant bearings is helpful in controlling speed. The soft wheels are helpful for shock absorption. I skate in parking lots currently and my muscles arent use to the divits in the pavement yet. If you dont know about wheel hardness, soft wheels wear down faster but give more comfort and grip. Wheels are easy to swap out and bearings are easy to replace also. I needed budget skates that would still be safe to wear and learn on. Ive spent over 10 hours researching other blades and watching pros discus their preferred skates. These touch on a lot of the key needs they brought up. I have over 20 hours on these and rotated the wheels once. Once I have the money I know I will upgrade but I dont feel in a rush to do so. I am enjoying these skate and look forward to improving on them.

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 :/

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.

Very good for beginners and general recreational skating. The quality of the construction is good for the price, and the boot is comfortable to wear for several hours. I would not recommend this boot for anyone who maybe tempted to do any kind of aggressive skating. The boot and chassis arent designed for it and judging by their construction I doubt they would take the beating.

Too tight for my feet

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.

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.

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.
