    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.

    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.

    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.

    These are a great pair of Rollerblades, I had a pair roughly 20+ years ago and they lasted forever (with the obvious wear and tear and exchanging the old wheels with new ones). Would highly recommend this brand for any beginner. I unfortunately had to return the first pair i just bought due to buying the wrong size (felt a little tight when i put them on, then i realized a size too small 10, required an 11). Regardless of my mistake, I would buy again anytime!

    Build quality is great - should last a long time if cared for. Wheels are okay, and are able to be swapped out thanks to an included Allen-key and kit of goodies. Great for skaters of all types, especially on a budget.

    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!

    Read a lot of the reviews prior to purchase. Im a novice skater. Used to play competitive roller hockey back in the day but havent touched inline skates for probably 20 years. Im an avid fitness enthusiast and wanted to add roller blading as another form of fitness. Didnt want to spend a ton of money, as this purchase wasnt for anything competitive. I bought the female version for my wife. Out of the box, they looked nice. Comfortable. Lots of support. Im usually a 9-9.5 running shoe and I got the 10 in these skates. First ride was with the wife. Little bit of soreness in the feet which was to be expected since I havent done it in so long. Just took it on the second ride today and did a half marathon. They were awesome. Comfortable. Not too much speed, but I certainly didnt feel like it was slow. Perfect for my ability. My only knock would be for two rides, the wheels already look significantly run down, and the only surface Ive ridden on was smooth park surface. I still give them five stars as entry level equipment for anything usually has entry level components. For $100 bucks I could see myself riding these forever and just upgrade the wheels...and if I really get into it...maybe better bearings.

    Fit is great. Super comfortable. Stock wheels/bearings are horrible - zero roll consistency. Changed out the wheels immediately to the Amazon Best Seller WHEELCOME Inline Skate wheels and its like a whole new set of 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.

Zetrablade is a recreational skate for men. Featuring unbeatable support, comfort and stability at a value price point, learning to skate just got easier. The secure closure system combined with a monocoque frame lowers the center of gravity, providing better balance. 80mm Performance wheels/SG5 bearings can be upgraded to a higher-performance wheel as skater proficiency increases. For casual skaters looking at an entry-level skate, Zetrablade is a smart choice.
