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

Too tight for my feet

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!

Great rollerblades.. Wish both blades had breaks and only one. Overall it was a great product and work recommend to friends.

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.

Buenos patines,me encantaron

Good product for the money.

120 miles skating in 1.5month review. fastest I was able to go on somewhat flat land was 18.7mph. I have rotated my wheels as the picture shows. The wheels have lasted fairly well unlike other reviews mentioned that they were poor quality and would fall apart(I have taken them through various terrains but mostly rough and smooth asphalt with alot of bumps). I think the wheels have a life span of about 180-200miles when rotated, according to my use. I am 6.2 (15.748 cm) tall and weigh in around 225lbs the wheels and skates have been fine. I also ordered protective pads and a helmet (size large) and they have worked great. Besmall Kids Protective Gear Set,Roller Skating Skateboard BMX Bike Cycling Sports Protective Gear Pads for Youth Boys Girls(Adjustable Helmet+Knee Pads+Elbow Pads+Wrist Pads) Black L I am US 14 in shoe size and ordered a size 31cm (13), should have ordered a size 30cm aka US12 in skates for this brand. Ive fallen about 20 times and the skates have held up pretty good to regular scrapping and abuse. Normally ride intervals have been 3.5 miles to 25miles. Skates initially felt a little uncomfortable till I broke them in. Great skates for a beginner or someone trying to learn how to skate again. side note. wheels in very smooth asphalt are very prone to being extremely slippery vs on the road asphalt with the slightest of moisture. I also decided to remove the brakes on the right rear skate as for me there are easier/more effective ways to stop.

No complaints

My husband loved them said they where very comfy!

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.
